A Distinguished Advocate for Your Legal Victory!

Chantal is the exceptional attorney who accomplished something truly remarkable for me. She not only secured my long-overdue back pay and reimbursements but also significant penalties from my former employer. Her unwavering dedication, strategic brilliance, and unwavering professionalism make her the... clear choice for legal representation. Chantal's tireless commitment and strong assertiveness ensured a swift and satisfying resolution. She has an exceptional talent for simplifying complex legal matters, making them easier to navigate. What truly sets Chantal apart is her down-to-earth professionalism and approachability. She doesn't just handle the legal intricacies; she guides you through them with ease and empathy. I wholeheartedly recommend Chantal to anyone seeking a lawyer who goes the extra mile. Choose her for unwavering advocacy and the justice you rightfully deserve.

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!

Par Excellence!

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.

A superb attorney!

I hired Chantal McCoy to handle a case against my former employer who failed to properly pay me. She quickly resolved my case, obtained a reasonable settlement for me, and the whole process hardly took up any of my time beyond my initial consultation with her. I would definitely recommend Ms. McCoy... to anyone that needs assistance resolving their employment dispute. She is smart, down to earth, engaged, helpful, and efficient. She really went the extra mile to explain the process and the law to me, answer my questions, keep me updated, and obtain a good outcome in my case.
