"If I could give a zero I would! Never go to this man, he is a liar and a theif! I am a single mom at time of service homeless living with my brother. I was fighting a disestablishment and laid everything out, he agreed to take the case said wouldn't be easy but he would take it and fight. A few months into the case before the hearing to see if we would go to tril we had mediation and he told me give up and be done there was no chance I told him no and that's why I hired a lawyer. Five days before my hearing he withdrew as my attorney after taking over 5 thousand dollars of mine and my parents, leaving me with literally nothing in my savings. I tried finding a lawyer after and other attorney's would look at the case and he never submitted a reasoning behind any of his actions. I wrote a 3 page affidavit he was to submit he cut thing outs and widdled it down. I would make corrections to his and the other attorney's information and it would never get done. He took my money, told me what to do and when I told him no he quit. I hired him as my lawyer to fight for me and my kids not tell me to drop the case take all money and leave screwed. He is rude and even yelled at me multiple times he is unprofessional to say the least. On top of all that he had me send hundreds of emails, text and photos to be submitted and never did but charged me for it anyway."

"Sarah initially appeared quite pleasant during our initial conversation. She assured me that she would thoroughly investigate my situation and even made copies of all the relevant documents. She promised to get back to me within the week to provide an update and schedule a consultation by the week's end. However, another entire week elapsed without any communication from her. This level of unprofessionalism is particularly frustrating, especially given the urgency of the matter. If you're unable to follow through on your commitments, it's only fair to be forthright and inform the person instead of needlessly wasting their time. I'd strongly recommend seeking assistance from someone who values effective communication and won't simply string you along."

"My wife and I have just recently had the pleasure of a sit-down with Pat and couldn’t be happier with the result! While many of us know that it is difficult at best to find an attorney who is willing to listen, Pat’s skill as a listener is unparalleled. We really appreciated his offer of a free consultation, which helped us get a handle on the scope of our problem. His insight has contributed to solutions of problems we hadn’t even considered. We are both very happy with the service Pat provides and will be enlisting his help to resolve additional issues as we move forward. Thanks Pat!"

"Patrick Payton is great!! I have had him for my lawyer since 1995 to the present! He was my divorce lawyer, injury settlement lawyer, and my moms probate lawyer for her estate! He does it all and is very reasonable! He is very good at what he does and he does it with heart! I would recommend him for any legal matter you might have! Kelly Hensley"

"Pat and his other associates in his office are great. I feel like they served my best interests. Any communication is handled quickly and to the point. Prices were very fair. He also represented my step son and did a fantastic job for him as well so overall that equals 10 stars"
