Mitchell Herlihy is the Principal and Director at Lifestyle Injury Lawyers, bringing a comprehensive background in personal injury law within Queensland. Admitted to the Supreme Court of Queensland in December 2012, Mitchell has extensive experience managing a broad spectrum of compensation claims, including those arising from motor vehicle accidents, public place incidents, defective products, slip and falls, as well as matters involving death claims and superannuation and total and permanent disability (TPD) claims. Before establishing his practice at Lifestyle Injury Lawyers, Mitchell gained valuable experience at a national law firm. He became committed to offering a more personalised approach, ensuring clients receive dedicated legal support throughout their entire compensation journey. Mitchell prioritises early intervention and rehabilitation, recognising its role in preventing accident-related injuries from developing into long-term conditions. He maintains strong professional relationships with physiotherapists to facilitate prompt access to rehabilitation services immediately after lodging a claim, which is often sooner than typically available through other legal providers. Clients appreciate Mitchell for his approachable and easy-going manner, yet he is resolute and effective when advocating for their rights, consistently striving to secure optimal outcomes. His dedication to client welfare extends beyond legal advice, aiming to minimise stress and support recovery. Outside of his legal career, Mitchell enjoys life on the Gold Coast with his young family and is an enthusiastic supporter of the Newcastle Knights.
