I hired attorney Payne to take care of some legal matters for me. He was very professional and fought hard for my case in the court room and we got the results we wanted and won my case. I highly recommend attorney Payne he will fight for you and get the end results you wants. I can’t say enough about his work. Thank you attorney Justine Payne for you hard work.

Excellent Attorney!
I retained Mr. Payne to defend a foreclosure suit. I did not think that there was much hope for my defense, but he indicated otherwise. He successfully defended my suit and I have been able to keep my property. He and his staff greatly exceeded my expectations. Since then, I have hired him to handle other matters. He is one of the most brilliant people that I know. I highly recommend Mr. Payne.

Peace of mind
I would consider Justin Payne family. I have been with him since January 2007. I hold a mortgage that had to go into foreclosure. I was at my wits end. He explained the situation telling me what we had to do and now I have my mind back. He also took over dealing with the mortgage to reduce my stress. He always kept me informed of the new changes that has taken place. I would recommend Justin to any of my friends and family. He is genuine attorney who shows compassion to his clients.

fantastic attorney
I retained Mr. Payne in 2009 to handle my foreclosure. He uncovered all kinds of illegal items in my note. My foreclosure took 6 years, by design, and one of the plaintiffs had to pay me! He was diligent and relieved all my worries. I did nothing and lived stress free through the whole process. I highly recommend Mr. Payne.

Excellent Advice and Easy to Work With
I received a contract drafted from a lawyer in another state. Mr. Payne did a great job understanding the intent of the contract, made corrections, and revised the contract considerably to eradicate all inconsistencies and terms that were to my disadvantage. Great experience as Mr. Payne really took the time to explain to me in plain English what was being done and provided better ways to make the contract airtight, simpler, and truly enforceable. I highly recommend his services.

The very best attorney I ever had
Over the years I have had numerous issues that required an attorney. I have had numerous attorney's handle those different case, many with negative results and In my opinion, more often those results were due to either the ineptness or lack of true concern for my welfare, the client who was paying the bill. Just negotiate it out or settle, that's good enough. Another thing I have learned in dealing with attorneys is that they will require payment whether they win or lose, so many have no real interest in the outcome, nor do they service the case from the clients view point or needs. Justin Payne is not that kind of attorney at all. He is a compassionate man who truly cares about his clients. He spends time with his clients, concerned about their plight and works diligently to provide the most favorable outcome he can. I know him personally and I can say with all honesty he treats clients as he wants to be treated, like a human being, with genuine concern and respect and the applied diligence he would provide his own family members. I have had Mr. Payne handle numerous cases for me since he has been in practice and he has always worked in my best interests, provided me excellent counseling and has been very fair, even personally reviewed his fees to make certain I was never over billed. As I said earlier I have had a number of other attorneys in my life, but now I will only have one, Mr. Payne, a man I know who cares about me as a person and a client. I must add one more thing because of the inability to answer the question below "What type of cases did this lawyer handle?" from the selections provided. Mr. Payne has handled many different cases for me, my will, trust, real estate, mediation, libel/slander, taxation issues, etc., and I can only make a single limiting choice from the drop down restricting me to one answer.

Foreclosure Defense
Mr. Payne took over our case after our attorney died. He gathered all our files, organized & researched our case to defend us against this false foreclosure. Our case was the oldest foreclosure case in Brevard Co. Justin did a great job!

Excellent attorney!
Mr Payne is knowledgeable and trustworthy. He and his staff have always been very professional and supportive. At such a difficult time in my life it is comforting to know that I have someone fighting for me with my best interest in mind.

Homeowner foreclosure defense
Mr. Payne is very knowledgeable, confident and patient. He makes you feel at ease by explaining everything in simple terms. He doesn't rush you out of the office without presenting all the facts and options. When he enters the courtroom he is well prepared and has an even demeanor making me feel less anxious. All my calls are returned and I never feel like he's less engaged with my case. I highly recommend Justin to anyone in a similar situation.

Of all the lawyers I have worked with in 60 years Justin is by far the best he does in a very timely way what he says he will do and advises me on what to do and what not to do in each of our cases.

Foreclosure Defense
Justin was very knowledgeable, positive but cautious, and knew the strengths and weaknesses of the legal situation. He personally handled each meeting and court appearance. We are very pleased with the outcome.

Superior professionalism
I highly reccomen Justin. He is a normal person not condescending. He explains issues in easy to understand ways and helps you weigh your options. He's aware of the cost and doesn't waste time or your money. When its time to battle he gets right to it. Justin has represented me in real estate and property matters for almost 10 years and I'm lucky to have his services and proud to call him my friend.
