[Highly recommend Lawyer Mark Diamond] I had a general protection unfair dismissal matter, which was an urgent situation requiring the case to be brought to court within 14 days. I contacted Hall Payne Lawyers, and they responded very quickly. The communication with reception was quite smooth.
Mark Diamond is an excellent and professional lawyer. He communicates clearly and efficiently, ensuring I always understood the process in simple way. Even when a mistake occurred during the litigation process, he immediately took responsibility and rectified it without charging any additional fees. He consistently stood by my side, offering practical advice on how to save costs. I truly appreciate having Mark as my representative. The matter was finally resolved during the settlement stage. The only downside was the cost, which I found a bit expensive. However, overall, I am very satisfied with the process and the results about my employment matter with Hall Payne and Mr. Diamond.
Whilst seeking legal advice from Ignat Kozlov, we could not fault our experience. Ignat and his team were very professional, understanding and gave thorough advice. Highly recommend the team at Hall Payne Lawyers.

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!

I would highly recommend Tim and Luke at Hall Payne. Not only did they provide expert advice and representation, but were understanding of the emotional stress of the situation and showed genuine care and compassion.
I highly recommend Hall and Payne. Tim gave me sound, expert legal advice and the matter was settled very quickly with a positive outcome. The professional approach of all of the staff helped to expedite the outcome and to avoid the stress of a protracted process. Thank you to all involved.
Excellent, valuable and prompt advice from Tim Grellman in the area of employment law. Thank you Tim.
I would highly recommend the team at Hall Payne Lawyers to support you and deal with those unreasonable non compete enforcement orders from the previous employer. Luke, Tim and the team are very thorough in their approach to keep you calm and optimistic of a favourable process. My advice is to be prepared to do some detailed work yourself to assist the team put together a rock solid case against these orders. Hall Payne were referred to me after some serious searching....quoting "you want these guys in your corner" for these matters. Very happy with their work and the outcome.

I am extremely happy to provide this review of Hall Payne Lawyers. Luke Forsyth is a Principal at the firm and is an exceptional lawyer. He looked after my matter which involved a very distressing workplace issue. His experience, expertise and advice helped me through the most difficult time of my professional life with an outcome better than expected. He was patient and understanding at times when I was upset and definitely not thinking clearly. If you have any complex and challenging employment issues, particularly if you are in senior management, please contact Luke and Hall Payne Lawyers. I am happy to be on the other side of the process, however I would not hesitate to contact Luke again should another issue arise. Maree
Hall Payne represented me throughout a workers compensation claim. Unbeknown to me at the time of injury, each State and Territory has its own legislations governing workers rights. Hall Payne were invaluable in explaining the complexities of the differing legislation and helped me navigate through a plethora of workers entitlements. I especially found the staff at Hall Payne, inclusive of legal personnel and support staff, were always responsive, supportive and professional.
Thank you Luke Forsyth and his legal secretary Anita for your professionalism and efficiency and stress free . I would definitely hire Hall Payne lawyers if you ever have any employment problems. Thanks again
Recently I had the need for urgent legal advice in relation to my employment. I contacted Hall Payne and was directed to Luke Forsyth who give me direct, clear legal advice which brought my matter to conclusion within 48 hours. This was a clear example of a group of solicitors who wanted to serve their client by thoughtful advice at a minimal of costs. I recommend you contact them. It will be worth your while.

The staff at Hall Payne Lawyers were always helpful by explaining the details and making me feel comfortable with all the legal terminology. I would highly recommend Hall Payne Lawyers for great service and outcome. Thank you to the team.
I had the best experience, was represented by an incredible Solictor, Baiba Thomas. Baiba and her team worked extremely hard to ensure I would get the justice deserved. I wish to thank immensely Baiba, Alexandra,Esra and top Knotch Barrister Mr J Trainer. I highly recommend Hall Payne Lawyers.
I had the pleasure of working with Craig Joshua to help me with my fairly complicated workers compensation matter, and I do not think I could have found better support during this difficult time for me. Craig not only put together a watertight case, but he was always there when I had a question and took me patiently through the whole process from start to finish. On top of that, he went above and beyond by giving me advice how my claim would affect other proceedings and vice versa, which I am grateful for. The icing on the cake was of course the big win at the end!
I couldn’t have asked for more, Baiba was so supportive and always kept me updated and well informed.I would highly recommend her to anyone.
I recently engaged Hall Payne Lawyers to run my workers compensation case and was impressed from the very start. From those initial words of reassurance right through to the final stages of reaching a successful outcome the HPL team was amazing. Craig Joshua, solicitor, was professional in every respect. He was thorough and always kept me informed of what was going on. Nothing was too much trouble. Alexandra Rogers did an amazing job providing paralegal support. With this journey now behind me I can highly recommend Hall Payne Lawyers. Ian
Thank you to Tim, Joe and your team. What an absolute A1 plus plus plus quality of work, extremely professional and very responsive. I can highly recommend this law firm.
Thanks again to the great team at Hall Payne Lawyers, very professional and helpful. The team explained everything I needed to know and were very friendly and easy to talk to. Will highly recommend to anyone wanting legal help. Thank you.
We had a complex workplace personal injury matter which required the team to learn some highly specialised information in a particular field. They took the case on and learnt all the technical components with much enthusiasm.
They secured the Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) claim for us, which was also quite complex. We also were able to settle Work Injury Damages (WID) with the former employer and were very pleased with our settlement amount which the team had worked hard to secure on our behalf.
From start to finish, they were always on hand to discuss any of our questions and honestly treated us like part of the family. We would highly recommend working with Hall Payne.
Great service & communication throughout.
Luke Forsythe of Hall Payne came to our aid when we were in a very precarious situation. His expertise and compassion put us at ease and things unfolded just as he said they would, which was a tremendous comfort to us in a difficult time. We are so grateful to him and Hall Payne for making the process as quick and straightforward as possible, and for our positive result.
Joseph Kennedy provided an outstanding job in representing me. His skills of respectful communication and negotiation to all stakeholders involved in my issue, combined with his expert application of law, resulted in a successful and very happy outcome. Without a doubt, I felt at all times I was in good hands and so pleased Joe had been highly recommended to me. Thank you Joe.
Luke forsyth is an excellent lawyer, very supportive , with wealth of knowledge, very hardworking. My experience with him was par excellent. I would highly recommend him. Dr Pallav Shah
