Reviews for Hall Payne Brisbane
Jessie Browne and the team at Hall Payne Lawyers are the best. My case was handled extremely professionally, everything was communicated clearly and the outcome exceeded my expectations.
10 out of 10
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.
Kept things simple.
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.

Jessie was professional and understanding. She was efficient and timely in moving things forward. It was a pleasure working with her.
I initially contacted Leanne at Hall and Payne Lawyers for help with obtaining my Australian Citizenship. Leanne gave invaluable help and guidance throughout the citizenship process.
Her expertise, patience and attention to detail made what could have been a daunting experience feel manageable and smooth. Communication was excellent and Leanne kept my informed every step of the way.
I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for help with immigration/citizenship issues.
Justine Matthews is an absolute angel! During one of the most difficult times of my career, she stood by me with compassion, understanding, and unwavering support and encouragement.
Her expertise and professionalism shone through as she skillfully navigated my case, ultimately securing a successful outcome. What truly set her apart, however, was her gentle and non-judgmental approach - she made me feel seen and heard when I felt at my lowest.
If you're facing a similar challenge, don't hesitate to reach out to her. She's more than just a lawyer - she's a guardian angel in disguise!
