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.

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.
Recently I had the pleasure of working with Alexandra Jarret at Hall Payne Lawyers. Alexandra is not only very professional but exceptionally intelligent. Alexandra is definitely a leader in her field who is capable and competent to handle tricky cases.
