You’ll need to meet a lot of lawyers before you find one who more genuinely enjoys going through the journey with his clients than Barney Gask.
When taking on battles for people injured in accidents, Barney works first to win their trust. He believes it’s the foundation for producing a winning strategy.
Whether by negotiation or through a trial, Barney’s efforts to secure fair compensation are grounded on solid teamwork with his clients, and a compassionate understanding of the pain and distress that brought them to his door.
As the son of the firm’s respected founder, Richard Gask, Barney emulates his father’s intense loyalty and dedication to his clients, and his commitment to see that their rights are fully endorsed. It’s a mantle Barney wears with immeasurable pride, knowing that it has provided the key to the company’s success over four decades.
Barney has made his own mark on the profession and his clients, having won a number of settlements over the $1 million mark. But he says his greatest satisfaction comes from the reaction of clients who simply received more than they expected. These successes are achieved through a simple formula: Barney refuses to allow technical intricacies to hamper his focus on positive outcomes.
With a noted ability to listen to clients, ease their initial worries and get to the core of their concerns, Barney ensures they quickly realise that their lawyer is indeed their friend.
It results in a constant flow of referrals from people who tell their own friends and family how well Barney looked after them.
Barney advises clients out of TGB’s Adelaide, Darwin and Reynella offices.

What people are saying
“Barney Gask was very supportive throughout a stressful dispute. Professional and caring to my situation which lead to a positive outcome. Myself and family members also use TGB for Wills and POA and have always had a good client experience. Highly recommended.”
“In 2016 our family were passengers in a head-on collision, all were injured, my wife and I received life-changing disabilities. Initially we tried to navigate the insurance ourselves, until my Doctor recommended Tindall Gask Bentley. Contacting them was by far the best decision we could have made. Barney and Toni helped us navigate the insurance minefield that we faced. My case in particular was very complicated, taking 7 years to settle. Barney and Toni, ably assisted by Tram, made the whole process effortless and simple and their advice has always been spot on. We ended up with three times what we would have received without them and their fees were more than reasonable and much lower than I expected (much of which was covered by the other driver’s insurance). If you are unsure about lawyers, you can’t go wrong with Tindall Gask Bentley. Please do yourself a favour and call these guys. In the future they will handle all our legal matters.I can’t recommend them highly enough.”
“Barney has been absolutely phenomenal. He genuinely cares about his clients which was blatantly obvious even before I confirmed that I would like to use his services for a workplace injury. The stress taken off me was life changing and Barney went above and beyond to help me anyway he could. He is professional, prompt and communicates in a way that is clear and concise. I would highly recommend Barney to anyone needing his services and have referred others to him already.”
“My husband had a Workcover claim and Christie and Barney were fantastic, would definitely recommend them.”
“Barney Gask at Tindall Gask Bentley was great. He was quick, professional and helpful at a distressing time. His responses to my queries were always responded to in a timely manner and he assured me along the way of progress. He was friendly and personable which made me feel comfortable. I would recommend Barney to anyone needing assistance with personal injury claims.”
