I wasn't expecting to need a lawyer, but I called Mr. Payne about a family law matter a few months ago. He met with me and took the time to really listen to what was going on. I felt like he really cared about what was best for me and my kids. He took care of everything and made sure I didn't get taken to the cleaners. I was impressed with how hard he worked on my case and how much time he put in to make sure I was satisfied. Great attorney.
I hired Charles Payne for estate planning. The first thing that impressed me is that I was dealing with Charles, not his secretary or paralegal. He met with me to discuss the information needed for my estate plan. I immediately was impressed at the knowledge and skill that Charles has. He made me comfortable when discussing issues such as my advanced directive, being younger the conversation is a little weird so I was thankful to have a caring, easy to talk to attorney. Charles Payne offers significantly lower prices for estate planning documents and offers a very personalized service. I will be referring everyone I know to Charles Payne to handle their estate planning needs.
Charles practices primarily in Orange and Riverside Counties. He assists clients with Estate Planning and Business Law matters. You will not find another attorney who works harder for you!
He is a member of the State Bar of California, as well as the Federal Bar for the Central District of California. He is also a current member of the American Bar Association, the Riverside County Bar Association, and the Orange County Bar Association.
He attended California State University for undergraduate and graduate school, and graduated from California Southern Law School, where he was the valedictorian of his law school class.
Additionally, he is a certified as an instructor by the California Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST), and presents training to California Law Enforcement.
He offers estate planning and related legal services, and extends discounted rates to members of the Armed Forces, Police, Fire, and EMS, both active duty and retired.
