Mrs Payne is as good as they come. If you want a lawyer to lie for you get some one else,but if you want a great lawyer, she should be your first choice. I'm so glad I hired her.

Mrs Payne is extremely knowledgeable.Very professional. Her services were some of the best money I've ever spent.

I know attorneys and Connie is a great one.

If you don't get a good outcome with Mrs Payne as your lawyer you must have something wrong with you.(bad spouse,bad parent). I was very pleased with the way she handled my case. She is a great lawyer.

I had a somewhat simple divorce. Not much that needed splitting up. I knew I wanted shared custody of my son and I needed a good attorney for that. At our first court appearance we never got in front of the judge due to the court system not having a reporter that day. At the guidance of Connie the judge ruled based on what both attorneys submitted that day. Connie was socked in the mouth that day by what my ex’s attorney (Cherie Barton) submitted to the judge as truth. She never recovered after that. Needless to say I continued to pay her because I was trusting her guidance. My tab finally reached $30,000 and I never got in front of a judge. I was so mad at myself by this point because I had trusted her to do what was right and fight for me. She did neither. I wanted my day in court to prove the allegations against me were false. Connie didn’t want to fight for me at that point. Her idea was to throw my money at my ex and hope for the shared custody I was seeking. After I was asked for an additional $5000, which would have brought my total to $35000, I fired Connie at that point and sought the guidance of Tom Holland. Tom was willing to put up a fight for me at a fraction of the cost. After it was all said and done, I pay child support only, no attorney or PI fees. I kept all property. So don’t go on the advice of your friends. Don’t hire an expensive attorney because you think they’re better. They’re not. They suck. They know you have a little money and they guide you into throwing your money at something to get what you want. Divorce is hard enough but when you have attorneys like Connie taking people’s money it makes much harder. Wish I could give NO stars.

I agree with Brian's review below. I had a very similar experience and definitely felt like her cash cow and that she was not there to truly work for me. I wasted thousands of dollars of my hard earned money and over a year of time that led to nothing but stress, frustration and no results. Like Brian, after I fired her, I too was able for a fraction of the cost, get excellent results through Haley Harden of Harden Law Firm. If you are no longer truly interested in helping good, hard working people, and only care about who you can nickle and dime to death during some of the most difficult times in their lives, it's time to retire.
