Would not recommend.

After hiring Mr. Payne to represent me in my divorce case, I immediately had the feeling that he didn't care much about the case other than to just "get it done and over with". I have worked with many attorney's in the past due to my career, but none as eager to just roll over and play dead as Mr. Pa...yne was. He seemed less than knowledgeable when I asked questions and was somewhat pushy to get me to agree to things I would have rather not agreed to. I also found out later (after it was too late) that he mis-advised me on several issues which have since caused me great financial struggle. After the finalization of my divorce, I hired a different attorney for a custody case. After doing so, my new attorney requested my complete file from Mr. Payne. In doing so, we found that he had never followed through with his duties to collect specific forms before the divorce from my now, ex-husband. These were itemized charges on his bill that I paid, that were obviously never done. I would not recommend his services to anyone, unless you have a super easy case and want the affordable option to just "get it done with".

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
