Posted by Alexander | February 27, 2026 | Hired Attorney | Intellectual Property

Highly recommended. Quick resolution. Efficient.

I resolved an IP matter with Mr. Payne and his assistants. He was extremely helpful, extremely knowledgeable, and very client-centric. I could not have been happier. Obviously, he's an expert in IP law, and he has a long background at all levels, which is really useful and helpful. I highly recommen...d him.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
