Henry Pill and the team including Leonie and Naomi and the other ladies could not have been more professional, kind, and just wonderful in general. Henry was excellent, informative and assisted me in every way possible.
I highly, highly recommend the services of Hall Payne Lawyers and sincerely appreciate their support and services throughout my long and stressful ordeal, the outcome was fantastic and I would refer anyone to their services.
Thank you, Henry and to the whole team.
Thanks for making my claim a simple, easy, stress-free event for me Henry.
I can't speak highly enough of Lily at the Hobart office. She was super helpful and informative when I was having a tough time with a workers compensation issue. 100% recommend.
Going through the Workers Compensation process is really awful. It is soul destroying. I could not be more thankful for my lawyer Indi Gunadasa and his team. Without him I am sure I would not have had as good of a result. It is a battle in which you want people both proficient and kind to be on your side. Thankyou
Highly recommend Hall Payne! Henry was knowledgeable and very generous with his time and expertise.
Very happy with Indi and his staff,can't recommend them highly enough for their hard work in achieving a favourable outcome.
