Payson Laurence Lederman

Payson helped guide me through the complex conservatorship procedure. It was confusing and hard to decide if I should get the probate conservatorship along with trying for the LPS. But the Probate does indeed help you get the LPS and acts as a back up if the LPS ends or lapses one day. Because of... Payson’s representation the court granted us both. Now my brother, who has severe mental illness for 20 years, will finally get the long term help that he needs. Payson has a lot of experience and is a warm hearted person. I highly recommend him! - Soaree Cohen client

Mr. Lederman has many years experience in the field of probate and conservatorship and all details that go into this area of law. This is a specialized area of law that a lay person couldn't imagine what's all involved . This guy tells me from word one that he's by no means The cheapest nor is he eve...n middle of the road when it comes to fees, rather he's upper middle wich I knew right from the start he was a straight shooter. Mr Lederman went above and beyond what I paid him to do . Yes his fees are a little on the high side , we'll they are on the high side but I'll tell you this , it was worth every penny . I'm a no no nonsense person my self and that's putting it lightly , he was able to handle my personality and still do his job and get results over night at in my case . I highly recommend Mr Lederman if you are passionate about the situation you find yourself in and a mediocre lawyer just won't do it . He's also a family man and a good dude too

My brother (age 25) was taken to UCI med center with a diagnosis of catatonia. He had not spoken, eaten, or drank in days. While in the hospital he underwent treatment for his cataonia, showed slight improvements but still would not talk. When ECT was proposed as the next treatment plan, we knew we w...ould have to go though the court system for it to be approved since my brother would not speak. That is when we met Payson. He reached out to my mom and I personally numerous times to explain the process, put us at ease, give us direction and guidance, and support us in any way he could. Without giving too much detail, the court process was long and ridiculous. I never understood how awful our court system is with dealing with mental health care but let me tell you-it is atrocious. Payson did not leave our side, he was reachable at all hours of the day. He was patient and caring when interacting with my brother and after weeks of trials, he won the case. My brother had 8 ECT treatments and is now at home; talking, eating, participating in his care. We have a long road to go until his full recovery but the ECT saved him from going any deeper into his catatonia and brought him back to us. Without Payson and his support, my brother would not be doing as well as he is today. He is an excellent lawyer and I recommend him to anyone!

This attorney restored my faith in his profession. He literally saved the life of my daughter fontaine Ball who was being exploited by the Orange County Regional Center. I cannot praise this man enough, He is a consumate professional, a devoted husband and father. Payson took my case when no-one else... would and we spent an ENTIRE YEAR fighting for conservatorship against the Orange county regional Center. Every time I speak with him I hear his childrens voices in the background... I have seen him brought to tears reviewing the hardships of clients and people with disabilities. He is an angel. It is seldom in life you see someone doing exactly what they were put on this earth to do, Payson Lederman is doing this . He is literally altering and saving the lives of people who are disabled and unable to fight or defend themselves. It is unfortunate that these battles are necessary, but they are.
