Ethical, Professional, and Kind

Before meeting with Attorney Payton, previous lawyers told me that I did not have a viable case. Attorney Payton was kind, patient, and had strong employment law expertise including for small employers. She and her staff were proficient, communicative, and treated my case with the utmost care and res...pect. I am very grateful for the legal services and support rendered by Attorney Chantal Payton and Attorney Mackenzie Mathews. The service was top notch from beginning to end. Additionally, I received peace of mind and restitution for the egregious ordeal I had experienced.

I highly recommend Chantal Payton

I am very grateful for the help I received from Payton Employment Law, PC which was highly recommended to me about two years ago for an issue I had with my employer. Chantal and her staff's service exceeded my expectations. Either Chantal or one of her employees would always respond to me quickly e...very time I called. Chantal would take the time to explain everything in detail to me and made the process a learning experience. She also informed me, while working on my case, that I may also have an issue with my current employer regarding my wages and benefits. Because of her expertise, dedication, professionalism and having my best interest at hand, I was able to win my first case as well as my second case! I would highly recommend Chantal Payton to all my family, co-workers and friends.

Awesome

Chantal is very patient and helpful. When she wasnt available to answer questions or to meet me in the Acton office, she arranged for a staff member to help me out. I am very happy with my settlement and would definitely refer her and her staff to anyone seeking an attorney for any employment issues....

Chantal exceeded my expectations!

If you’re like me, you hope that you never have to hire an employment lawyer. If you do, like I did, Chantal is the one you want to have on your side. I can't thank Chantal enough for her guidance, support and overall attention provided to my case. Chantal was quick to provide responses to all my que...stions. Without her help I wouldn't have been able negotiate the severance package that I ultimately received. She was thorough, detail oriented, and gave me the confidence I needed to make some very stressful decisions. I recommend her without hesitation.

Thank you for the assistance!

When you are in financial distress and are no longer employed (especially during COVID-19), it is difficult to think clearly and make sound decisions. That, in addition to not understanding a legal process, can complicate matters if not understood correctly. Payton Employment Law explained the laws... violated by my former employer, clearly outlined the steps in the process that needed to be done, and pushed for my case to go to settlement for close to two years. Marissa and Chantal were reassuring, knowledgeable, articulate, knowable, and effective. The team made the process much easier and gave me peace of mind in a stressful situation but successful outcome came from the uncomfortable position I was in. I highly recommend Payton Employment Law to be your firm of choice!
