Chantal R. McCoy Payton

I was referred to Mrs. Payton from the National Action Network‘s local L.A. office. Payton Employment Law, PC is a professional and compassionate law firm who took care of my employment discrimination case and I am grateful for their phenomenal work. Her staff completed my intake process quick...ly, kept regular & open communication with me. Mrs. Payton & her team made me feel seen, heard & respected; and justice in resolving my employment discrimination case. Thank you,

I am a professional costume designer in the film and television industry who experienced alleged unlawful acts in my working environment. As a Native American woman and enrolled member of a federally recognized tribe it was vital for me to seek justice in a partnership that included women and wome...n of color. I reached out to Chantal through CELA (California Employment Lawyers Association), and she was quick to respond. I am thankful for the caring and considerate way she acknowledged me. I believe it is imperative to have an attorney that knows the issues well and can empathize with their clients regarding alleged and reported issues of race discrimination, a hostile working environment, racial slurs (one of which I was called at the beginning of my employment), continuous and ongoing harassment, retaliation, exploitation, intimidation, protected whistle blower activities, wage and hour violations, as well as many other related issues. I believe the experience was also pervasive, and oppressive. I suffered greatly. Chantal’s ability to put together my team of attorneys was invaluable. I believe as principal managing partner of Payton Employment Law, PC Chantal along with her incredible team of attorneys ensured a resolve outside of a courtroom, though they were prepared to do so in one. Chantal and her team’s ability to push back against one of the largest employers was exactly what I needed and I learned to feel safe in their hands. I highly recommend her and remain grateful to her.

Discrimination in the workplace, is no joke! I lived in and was fired because of it. I felt as if I was ready to have a nervous breakdown. I called Chantal McCoy not really knowing what to expect. Not only did Chantal speak with me on my first phone call to her. Chantal set up an appointment for the ...very next day so I could meet with her. If words could only explain how I felt about her validation of me as promptly as she did. I do not think it can be understated of the importance of her ethics. On our initial visit we spent over three hours together. I hired her on the spot! From that day forward Chantal followed threw on every phone call and every email she always said she would. Whenever I would call her office she would always answer me and if not she would call me back quickly. I never waited more than one hour for her. Chantal's knowledge of the law would be explained to me often to put my mind to ease at what was occurring at different stages of our process together. Chantal is extremely hardworking and a compassionate attorney who represents you as if it was her in your shoes. Chantal never mislead me and ultimately won my case for me. It was a journey and I had the best Attorney ever alongside of me. I can say from the bottom of my heart that if anyone is looking for a Par Excellent Attorney. Chantal is the one.
