I appreciate Hall Payne lawyers very much. I am a foreign tourist travel in Tasmania during Nov 2024. Unfortunately a car accident happened. But fortunately ,I get Pierre and his legal assistant Dominique's help on legal advice.

Because my mother language is Chinese. They even request interpreter to understand my case . After almost 1 year of car accident occurs. Everything is settle down now. I am so grateful even I am not Australian , I still get such a good legal assistance .

Recommend Hall Payne lawyers to anyone who needs legal assistant . I will travel in Australia ,such a safe and kind country again in future .

Outstanding Service and Genuine Care:

I cannot thank Pierre and Dominique enough for their incredible support and professionalism throughout my case. From the very beginning, they showed genuine care, patience, and understanding, taking the time to explain every step clearly and ensure I felt confident in all decisions.

Pierre’s knowledge and strategic approach were exceptional—he handled everything with precision and dedication. Dominique was always warm, approachable, and organised, making communication effortless and stress-free. Together, they make an outstanding team who truly go above and beyond for their clients.

Their compassion, attention to detail, and commitment to achieving the best outcome made a difficult process so much easier. I’m deeply grateful for their hard work and the positive result they achieved for me. I highly recommend Pierre and Dominique to anyone seeking a law firm that combines expertise, integrity, and genuine care.

Henry Pill from Hall Payne (Hobart)was recommended to me and after using his services I can understand the recommendation. 

Henry was friendly and down to earth, no glitz and glamour just very good advice for my best outcome. At no stage did it feel like he was making any outrageous decisions or claims in regards to how much money I could receive in compensation.

He was always quick to respond to my phone calls or emails and was never dismissive of any of my questions.

Whenever I spoke to any member of the team they were always polite and helpful.
I was very pleased with the outcome of my case and never felt pressured or stressed at any time.

I would recommend them to anyone seeking a professional and helpful team that makes you feel at ease.

Thank you to Henry Pill and team. I found Henry to be very approachable, knowledgeable and professional. He was always very prompt in his replies and made sure that at all times I was kept informed and made to feel supported.

I thoroughly recommend Henry.
