Reviews for Hall Payne Brisbane
I could not be happier after recently receiving the assistance of Alexandra from Hall Payne Lawyers.
She's extremely diligent and was always quick to answer any of my queries. I felt supported and most importantly trusted the entire time and we had an amazing outcome.
She was nothing short of professional and a pleasure to deal with, I cannot recommend this firm and Alex enough.
Justine was very knowledgeable and was very helpful in my matter. Would recommend other people to her.
Words cannot explain how impressed I am with Cale from Hall Payne Lawyers. He has been so professional in every way, and also been able to simplify so I could understand the more technical things.
He has guided me through the whole process, and at the end has delivered far beyond my expectations.
I recommend Cale unconditionly and without hesitation.
I am incredibly grateful for the exceptional service provided by Hall Payne Lawyers. They helped me navigate through a difficult situation where I was falsely accused at my workplace in aged care. Their expertise and dedication to my case were instrumental in proving my innocence and resolving the issue.
I highly recommend their services for anyone in need of strong legal support.
Thank you, Hall Payne Lawyers, for your unwavering support and professionalism.
Leanne Taylor has consistently delivered excellent results. Thank you, Leanne!
Mark Diamond proved, despite difficult circumstances, that he is a top notch employment lawyer and a fine negotiator. Mark's union experience is a great bonus and it really shows in how he provided me with practical, sensible and targeted advice.
I would recommend Mark to you particularly if you work in transport: he is uniquely placed to help you get the best outcome.
We have had the pleasure of dealing with Leanne Taylor regarding a claim and I can not speak high enough about the dealings and outcome.
Using a highly qualified lawyer like Leanne and the Team at Hall Payne is the only way to go when dealing with large companies to achieve the correct outcome in a timely manner, hassle free.
Thank you Leanne and all the Hall Payne Team, I could not recommend you highly enough.
I recently worked with Justine Matthews, from Hall Payne Lawyers, to defend against a serious accusation, and I couldn’t be more impressed.
Justine was professional, knowledgeable, and dedicated throughout the entire process. She compiled a strong defense strategy, kept me informed every step of the way, and provided much-needed reassurance. Thanks to her hard work, the matter was resolved positively and within a very tight timeframe.
I highly recommend Justine for anyone in need of expert health law legal help and can not thank her enough.
