We recently had the pleasure of working with Philip and Jodie from Hall Payne Lawyers in Brisbane following the passing of our father.

Their patience and expertise in probate law was just what we required to help us during this difficult period. They were supportive and helpful, going out of their way to ensure the grant was issued quickly and smoothly.

Thanks HPL.

Hall Payne Lawyers were exceptional when dealing with my case. Justine and her team were very knowledgeable, compassionate and professional.

Justine was exemplary and her attention to detail made all the difference. I highly recommend anyone seeking legal aid in the healthcare profession to reach out to these guys.

I can't recommend Jessie more highly, she was compassionate and very effective in achieving a great out come for me in what was a very horrible situation.

I know I could not have got this result on my own and am forever thankful.

I engaged the services of Hall Payne to help me during a challenging time at work and whilst pregnant. I was linked in with Ignat Kozlov and his team.

Ignat was absolutely fantastic to work with. Not only is he extremely thorough & responsive, but also very empathetic. He listened carefully to my concerns & took them seriously, was reassuring & applied so much industry knowledge. If you have a concern related to the health care industry as a health care professional, you can't go wrong with Ignat.

Thank you so much for your support, legal guidance and effort you put into my case. I would highly recommend Hall Payne Lawyers & Ignat.

Alex was amazing to work with - professional, supportive, and always on top of everything. She made a stressful situation so much easier and truly had my back the whole way.

Couldn’t recommend her more.
