Most knowledgeable and professional lawyer

Ms. Payne and Jennifer have been the best assets during my divorce. They both are full of knowledge and are able to provide sound guidance. I have been impressed from the very first time I met with Ms. Payne. She made the whole process as seamless as possible. Ms. Payne and Jennifer were very proact...ive and on-top of every task that needed to be completed. The efficiency was very much appreciated. Ms. Payne's experience and knowledge regarding law is so impressive and it was such a pleasure to work with her. The communication between Ms. Payne and Jennifer was also impeccable. Although divorces are stressful and times of turmoil, I never felt unsure or worried as I knew she was always looking out for best interest. I couldn't have had a better experience and I will be sure to recommend Ms. Payne in the future!

There are divorce attorneys and then there is Connie Payne

I hired 2 attorneys prior to meeting with Mrs.Payne. It cost me tens of thousands of dollars and 3 years of my life. My prior attorneys acted as if I was not a priority. They forgot to file things and when I would say anything to them they would say oh I forgot and if you’re not happy go to another a...ttorney. Connie did more work for me within the first 24 hours of meeting with her then ALL others prior. Divorce is the hardest thing on a family. Get someone that will beat doors down for you. Mrs Payne is the type of attorney that other attorneys hate going up against. There’s a reason for that. She gets things done!! Don’t get sold when you meet with an attorney. They will tell you anything to get a retainer. Get sold on results. Again I can not express this enough. There is not a better attorney, a more transparent attorney, or a an aggressive attorney on your behalf then Mrs Payne. No one wins during a divorce. But I promise hire the wrong attorney you lose. I hope I never need an attorney again. But if I do. I will NOT look anywhere else!! Thanks Mrs Payne.

Amazing attorney!

Connie and Jennifer were amazing! My husband just came home one day wanting a divorce. I went to speak with Connie. She was very upfront with me and encouraged me to talk to other lawyers as well. I decided to go with her. My husband was having an affair. She not only got a home for my son and I she ...made it where I could get my divorce and change back to my maiden name within 6 months. She made sure they didn’t drag it out. She was always honest and told me upfront what was happening. She even helped me with matters after the divorce was final! Wonderful attorney! You won’t be disappointed!

Deplorable

I had a lengthy consultation with Connie Payne about potentially representing me in my divorce case. I have interviewed several lawyers and she was BY FAR the most unprofessional and unhelpful (at a time when I was the most vulnerable and in the most need of help). She was the "doomsday prophet" to... say the least and left me feeling as though my marital situation was an impossible one to get out of. She outright dismissed several important factors regarding my situation and she did not listen to me at all - SHE only spoke the entire time. She was rude, brusk and went so far as to speak poorly of other lawyers I had interviewed (and I did not ask for her feedback). She is the last person on earth I would hire to represent me in a divorce case and she spoke down to me as if I was a child. When I spoke of emotional abuse within my marriage for example, she said it wouldn't "cut it" in court and to my horror said I would "have to come up with something more" and then followed up by saying "well, does he (my husband) beat you senseless?" with a smirk on her face. She was insensitive to a degree I cannot put into words and she clearly has absolutely no education about domestic violence or how to deal with the issues it entails. She doesn't even deserve one star. It was a horrible experience and a complete waste of money. Additionally, she only takes cash or cashier's check - no credit or debit cards and no personal checks - you can make of that what you will. I found it extremely odd. If you consider hiring her - look on the internet for positive reviews and you will find out what I did - there are none. Nothing can be found on her despite her practicing in the same area for 30 years. The other lawyers I interviewed had many positive reviews that I found easily and quickly online. Connie Payne only has only one review online on this site and it's terrible. I concur with that review 100%. Steer clear of this woman.
