We recently had the pleasure of working with Philip and Jodie from Hall Payne Lawyers in Brisbane following the passing of our father.
Their patience and expertise in probate law was just what we required to help us during this difficult period. They were supportive and helpful, going out of their way to ensure the grant was issued quickly and smoothly.
Thanks HPL.
Hall Payne Lawyers were exceptional when dealing with my case. Justine and her team were very knowledgeable, compassionate and professional.
Justine was exemplary and her attention to detail made all the difference. I highly recommend anyone seeking legal aid in the healthcare profession to reach out to these guys.
I can't recommend Jessie more highly, she was compassionate and very effective in achieving a great out come for me in what was a very horrible situation.
I know I could not have got this result on my own and am forever thankful.
Jessie Browne and the team at Hall Payne Lawyers are the best. My case was handled extremely professionally, everything was communicated clearly and the outcome exceeded my expectations.
