Reviews for Hall Payne Hobart
Henry Pill from Hall Payne (Hobart)was recommended to me and after using his services I can understand the recommendation.
Henry was friendly and down to earth, no glitz and glamour just very good advice for my best outcome. At no stage did it feel like he was making any outrageous decisions or claims in regards to how much money I could receive in compensation.
He was always quick to respond to my phone calls or emails and was never dismissive of any of my questions.
Whenever I spoke to any member of the team they were always polite and helpful.
I was very pleased with the outcome of my case and never felt pressured or stressed at any time.
I would recommend them to anyone seeking a professional and helpful team that makes you feel at ease.
