Reviews for Hall Payne Brisbane
I highly recommend Leanne Taylor who has given to me, and my wife, the best service, advice and support during our application for a Permanent Resident visa.
Leanne knows her job inside out and provides the best support during the arduous process of applying for this visa, she is a consummate professional. Leanne is always available to answer any questions and her coaching on putting documents together was outstanding.
Leanne makes a difficult & complicated process straightforward. I always took her advice & she got our visa lodged and rapidly approved.
Leanne recently helped me settle a matter I would never have been able to deal with on my own, due to multiple medical conditions. She was professional, gentle, helpful, supportive and explained the process clearly. The time frame was realistic and was actually over more quickly than expected.
I would recommend their services highly.
I cannot recommend Hall Payne Lawyers highly enough.
Throughout my case, Alexandra was incredibly responsive, always available to answer my questions and provide updates. She took the time to explain complex legal concepts in a way that was easy to understand, ensuring I felt comfortable and informed every step of the way.
Alexandra’s professionalism, attention to detail, and strategic thinking were key in achieving a favorable outcome for my case.
Ellie and her team at Hall Payne Lawyers were an absolute lifeline during a challenging legal process. From the moment they started working, I felt understood and supported.
Ellie's sensitivity to my feelings made all the difference as she guided me through every step of the journey.
Hall Payne Lawyers expertise and dedication ensured that I felt empowered and informed throughout. I can't thank Ellie and her team enough for their professionalism, empathy, and unwavering support.
I was referred to by a friend and I don’t regret it, thanks for help and work that your team out in!
Very highly recommend !
Jaclyn Green and Cale Fryer were very understanding and supportive. They showed empathy and compassion and I felt very comfortable opening up to them about my case and how I was feeling at different stages throughout my case.
Cale was very personal and I knew that he genuinely cared about my health first and foremost. Very professional approach to my case and very reassuring. After every conversation I had with Cale I felt more and more confident that my case was going to have a good outcome which in the end it did.
I have told many people about my experience and the satisfaction I felt at the end of my case after working with the team at Hall Payne Lawyers. I highly recommend the professional team at Hall Payne Lawyers.
Leanne Taylor was of great assistance and instrumental in the successful sponsorship and employment of our newest team member.
I highly recommend Leanne for guidance and assistance during this process and will utilise her services should we pursue sponsorship of future employees.
