I recently completed a worker's compensation claim through Hall Payne Lawyers Sydney and Amanda Knock was looking after my claim.
I am extremely happy with the way that they handled my claim. They were very efficient and professional also kept me informed throughout this process. I felt like I was treated like a person and not just a number , very rare these days.
I have no hesitation in highly recommending Amanda and Hall Payne Lawyers Sydney .
I was sent Hall Payne Lawyers details by my sister in law. I was fortunate enough to have an initial consultation with Mark Diamond about serious work issue.
During our meeting Mark was courteous, respectful, well prepared, and a wealth of knowledge regarding employment law. His honesty and expertise were demonstrated with the outcome and he provided me all the options.
I could not recommend him highly enough.
I reached out to Joe Kennedy in an urgent and sensitive situation, as he was highly recommended to me by a colleague.
Joe was thorough and efficient from the beginning until the issue was resolved to my satisfaction. He was particularly patient with me when I was feeling immense pressure and confused, and ultimately kept me focussed on the outcome I was seeking.
I never felt that it was about billing for Joe, quite the contrary. Joe showed expert knowledge, provided and received feedback which he actioned in a timely manner.
I highly recommend his services and will not hesitate to seek him out again if any issues arise in future.
