Reviews for Hall Payne Sydney
My experience with Hall Payne Lawyers was very positive. Highly professional yet at the same time warm and approachable. Both the legal assistants and solicitor was excellent, and I felt well supported. Highly recommend
4-star rating
Hall Payne Lawyers were referred to me and I'm so glad I engaged their services. Joe, Tim and Luke were nothing but professional, efficient and great to work with.
From my initial contact the facts and potential outcomes were clearly communicated with empathy yet the commercial reality of any court proceedings. During the process I found the matter seamless within the firm and was really appreciative of a very successful outcome.
Appointing good legal representation is of the outmost importance and Hall Payne certainly did the job for me!
Contacted Hill Payne Lawyers for some help with a contract. Delighted with the prompt availability over the phone, reasonable prices and billing terms. Tim spoke clearly and was easy to follow and provided valuable insights.
Very knowledgeable and nice to work with!
