I have no hesitation in highly recommending Amanda and Hall Payne Lawyers Sydney .
I was sent Hall Payne Lawyers details by my sister in law. I was fortunate enough to have an initial consultation with Mark Diamond about serious work issue.
During our meeting Mark was courteous, respectful, well prepared, and a wealth of knowledge regarding employment law. His honesty and expertise were demonstrated with the outcome and he provided me all the options.
I could not recommend him highly enough.
I reached out to Joe Kennedy in an urgent and sensitive situation, as he was highly recommended to me by a colleague.
Joe was thorough and efficient from the beginning until the issue was resolved to my satisfaction. He was particularly patient with me when I was feeling immense pressure and confused, and ultimately kept me focussed on the outcome I was seeking.
I never felt that it was about billing for Joe, quite the contrary. Joe showed expert knowledge, provided and received feedback which he actioned in a timely manner.
I highly recommend his services and will not hesitate to seek him out again if any issues arise in future.

I highly recommend Mark Diamond for anyone seeking reliable, empathetic and responsive legal assistance.
I can not recommend Hall Payne enough. From my first phone conversation with Rebecca who listened and made sure I was placed with an associate through to my dealings with senior associate Mark Diamond.
Mark has been attentive, listened to all my questions and concerns and most of all made me feel at ease and heard. Marks work on my case was faultless and has provided me with the best outcome for my situation.
If you are in need of a lawyer I would recommend Hall Payne to everyone.
