Jessie Browne

Solicitor

Jessie completed her law degree at the University of Tasmania in 2022 while working at the Hobart office of Hall Payne. In 2023 Jessie joined Hall Payne’s Brisbane office as a graduate.

Jessie has a background in science, having studied geology at the University of Melbourne, which can give her a unique perspective on the issues that arise in legal practice.

‘I am always considering different ways to present information to make it as easy to take in as possible’.

Although she commenced her law degree in 2019, Jessie started working in the legal industry as an accounts clerk in 2015 and has experienced a number of different areas of practice. Employment law appeals to Jessie because of how rewarding it is to secure great results for people who have been treated unfairly at work.

While not at work, Jessie enjoys drawing, painting and cross stitching.

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.

I recommend Cale unconditionly and without hesitation.

Mark Diamond proved, despite difficult circumstances, that he is a top notch employment lawyer and a fine negotiator. Mark's union experience is a great bonus and it really shows in how he provided me with practical, sensible and targeted advice.

I would recommend Mark to you particularly if you work in transport: he is uniquely placed to help you get the best outcome.

We have had the pleasure of dealing with Leanne Taylor regarding a claim and I can not speak high enough about the dealings and outcome.

Using a highly qualified lawyer like Leanne and the Team at Hall Payne is the only way to go when dealing with large companies to achieve the correct outcome in a timely manner, hassle free. 

Thank you Leanne and all the Hall Payne Team, I could not recommend you highly enough.

I recently worked with Justine Matthews, from Hall Payne Lawyers, to defend against a serious accusation, and I couldn’t be more impressed.

Justine was professional, knowledgeable, and dedicated throughout the entire process. She compiled a strong defense strategy, kept me informed every step of the way, and provided much-needed reassurance. Thanks to her hard work, the matter was resolved positively and within a very tight timeframe.

I highly recommend Justine for anyone in need of expert health law legal help and can not thank her enough.
