What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Workplace injuries, road accident claims and disputes with former employers bring clients to Hall Payne Lawyers Hobart, and the accounts left by those clients focus on how their matters were handled. Pierre Dordhain is named regularly for explaining claims in straightforward language, maintaining contact from the first meeting to settlement and replying promptly to calls and emails, while Dominique van Bakel is consistently described as a supportive and capable assistant. Henry Pill, who handles employment matters, draws comments about his approachable style, honest advice and willingness to defend clients against far larger organisations.

A number of reviewers describe outcomes in workers compensation, personal injury, motor vehicle accident and employment cases as better than they had anticipated, including one client whose shoulder injury and subsequent medical complication led to a long dispute with an insurer. A visitor from overseas notes that an interpreter was organised so the details of the case could be conveyed accurately, and the wider team is credited with the same attentiveness. What emerges most clearly is patient guidance and dependable communication through stressful compensation processes, leaving clients confident about the decisions they were asked to make.

The professional and timely manner in which my compensation matter was dealt with, was of the highest standard. From emails to regular conversations with my lawyer - Pierre all communication was easy to understand and explained. The outcome was better than I had hoped, and that is entirely due to the wonderful team at Hall Payne Lawyers.

I cannot recommend Hall Payne Lawyers highly enough. From the very beginning, Pierre and his assistant Dominique made what could have been a very stressful experience feel calm, manageable, and straightforward. They took the time to explain every step of the process, answered all of my questions with patience, and always made sure I understood my options. Their professionalism, knowledge, and genuine care gave me confidence throughout the entire matter. Pierre fought hard to achieve the best possible outcome for me, while Dominique kept everything running smoothly and ensured I always felt informed and supported. What stood out most was how seamless they made the whole experience. I never felt overwhelmed or left in the dark, and I always knew I had a team genuinely looking out for my best interests. Thank you, Pierre and Dominique, for your dedication, guidance, and support. I am incredibly grateful for everything you did and would not hesitate to recommend Hall Payne Lawyers to anyone needing legal assistance.

Pierre and Dominique handled my workers comp claim for me. Complete and utter professionals, and fantastic commentators. Made the quite stressful and very long-winded process so much simpler than had I gone it alone. Highly recommend.

Pierre was helpful, knowledgeable and skilled in navigating a very complicated workers compensation claim on my behalf, helping to secure a result that took the sting out of a very stressful, drawn out ordeal! Thanks also to Dominique who supported Pierre's work with clear communication and efficiency.

I suffered a serious neck injury which required major surgery. After many disputes with the insurance company, I decided to seek legal advice on the matter. I contacted several lawyers, many of whom seemed disinterested in my case. I was then referred to Hall Payne Lawyers in Hobart. From my initial contact until settlement day I could not have been happier. Pierre and Dominique kept in constant contact with me, keeping me well informed on what steps were being taken. I was under no stress whatsoever and was very happy with the outcome. Well done to the team at Hall Payne Lawyers Hobart. Highly recommended.

I had a great experience working with Pierre. He was always professional, responsive, and clearly knew what they were doing. I felt supported throughout the entire process and am very happy with the outcome. Dominique demonstrated professional assistance when required as well. Highly recommend
