Megan Stanley
Principal Solicitor
My clients are deserving and honest. They come to me to help prove wrongdoing.
Megan Stanley brings extensive experience in personal compensation law to Hall Payne’s Brisbane office. She initially worked in regional Queensland before obtaining a position in a large UK legal practice.
In the UK she gained exposure to a range of legal matters, including personal compensation litigation.
Since returning home, Megan has continued to practice solely in personal compensation law; an area of litigation about which she remains passionate.
“My clients are deserving and honest,” she says.
“They come to me to help prove wrongdoing.”
Megan is committed to achieving the best outcome for her clients. In many cases, this requires strong negotiation to settle a matter out of court.
“My goal is to obtain an appropriate settlement so my clients can take control of their lives, and make the choices that are right for them.”
Megan is admitted as a solicitor of the Supreme Court of Queensland, the Supreme Court of England and Wales, and the High Court of Australia. She is a member of the Queensland Law Society and Australian Lawyers Alliance.
In Megan’s free time, the outdoors beckons. She loves motorcycle riding, climbing, hiking and camping and also enjoys socialising with friends over great food and wine.
Reviews for Hall Payne Brisbane
Justine Matthews is an absolute angel! During one of the most difficult times of my career, she stood by me with compassion, understanding, and unwavering support and encouragement.
Her expertise and professionalism shone through as she skillfully navigated my case, ultimately securing a successful outcome. What truly set her apart, however, was her gentle and non-judgmental approach - she made me feel seen and heard when I felt at my lowest.
If you're facing a similar challenge, don't hesitate to reach out to her. She's more than just a lawyer - she's a guardian angel in disguise!
I cannot recommend Alexandra Jarrett at Hall Payne Lawyers highly enough. From our very first conversation, Alex was professional, compassionate, and incredibly knowledgeable. She took the time to explain every step of the legal process clearly, ensuring I felt supported and informed throughout.
Her attention to detail and dedication to achieving the best possible outcome were evident from start to finish. Alex’s responsiveness and genuine care made what could have been a stressful experience feel manageable and under control.
If you're looking for a solicitor who is not only highly skilled but also truly committed to her clients, Alexandra Jarrett is the one to trust. Thank you again for your outstanding work!

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.
