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!

Expert

Connie Payne recently navigated me through a high conflict divorce and I highly recommend her for the following reasons. She sought justice. She was an expert at what she does. She was professional and always on time and never dropped any balls ever. She fought harder than I had the capacity to fig...ht in the midst of extricating myself from a destructive marriage. She was led by reason rather than emotion and did not needlessly provoke an already inflammatory situation. She gave me honest and expert answers as I took ownership of what was probably the most important personal/financial negotiation of my lifetime. She saw the big picture of how I could best land well at the end of my divorce and guided me step by step towards that end. She partnered with me, forcefully asserting her opinions, but also respecting my goals as the client even if they differed from hers. She demonstrated compassion as I faced what may have been the greatest challenge of my lifetime. And her assistant, Jennifer, embodied these very same values. Thanks to the efforts of this divorce team, I have landed safely, am beginning a new life, and am profoundly grateful.

Hell of an Attorney

Connie Payne was my attorney in a recent divorce. (Sept. 13, 2019) She was knowledgeable, professional, and results-oriented! I was so unaware of my rights and had been married many years. Connie and her paralegal, Jennifer, helped me greatly during this difficult time. If you want expertise, excelle...nce, and results.... HIRE CONNIE PAYNE!

Agree with "Deplorable" and "Awful"

I agree with both of the reviews here giving Connie 1 star... one titled "Deplorable" and the other one "Awful". I had a very similar experience and definitely felt like her cash cow and that she was not there to truly work for me. I wasted thousands of dollars of my hard-earned money and over a year... of time that led to nothing but stress, frustration and no results. After spending tens of thousands of dollars, I too fired her and was able for a fraction of the cost, get excellent results through Haley Harden of Harden Law Firm. If you are no longer truly interested in helping good, hard-working people, and only care about who you can nickel and dime to death during some of the most difficult times in their lives, it's time to retire. And if you insist on continuing to practice perhaps you should look into EQ training. I don't know how you can be a family law attorney with negative EQ. Perhaps criminal defense would've been more her forte. Sadly, though, that's not where the money is at.
