Ms. Payne and Jennifer have been the best assets during my divorce. They both are full of knowledge and are able to provide sound guidance. I have been impressed from the very first time I met with Ms. Payne. She made the whole process as seamless as possible. Ms. Payne and Jennifer were very proactive and on-top of every task that needed to be completed. The efficiency was very much appreciated. Ms. Payne's experience and knowledge regarding law is so impressive and it was such a pleasure to work with her. The communication between Ms. Payne and Jennifer was also impeccable. Although divorces are stressful and times of turmoil, I never felt unsure or worried as I knew she was always looking out for best interest. I couldn't have had a better experience and I will be sure to recommend Ms. Payne in the future!

Ms. Payne and her assistant Jennifer were nothing short of amazing. She was able to help me out of the mess my original attorney created. Ms. Payne and Jennifer are professional and efficient. I highly recommend!!

Ms. Payne and her assistant, Jennifer, are excellent. They have helped me through 2 very tough situations. In both situations, it was obvious that my representative was much more professional and efficient than the 2 different attorneys we were up against.

Prior to Connie I hired Matt Niemic out of Ft Mill Law, he gave very poor legal counsel (that could have lead to my children staying in Mexico and an international custody battle) and failed to file paperwork. Connie came and rescued the day by giving great counsel and acting swiftly. Her timelinesshas paid for itself 10 folds. I’m forever grateful to her knowledge and expertise.

What a great experience in such a difficult situation. By far the hardest thing in life so far to go through. Connie was such a great asset to have to talk through everything from so many different angles. She helped me sort it all out looked at things I never thought of and the result was great.Jennifer you are so on top of things and appreciated all your support. Highly recommend.

I hired 2 attorneys prior to meeting with Mrs.Payne. It cost me tens of thousands of dollars and 3 years of my life. My prior attorneys acted as if I was not a priority. They forgot to file things and when I would say anything to them they would say oh I forgot and if you’re not happy go to another attorney. Connie did more work for me within the first 24 hours of meeting with her then ALL others prior. Divorce is the hardest thing on a family. Get someone that will beat doors down for you. Mrs Payne is the type of attorney that other attorneys hate going up against. There’s a reason for that. She gets things done!! Don’t get sold when you meet with an attorney. They will tell you anything to get a retainer. Get sold on results. Again I can not express this enough. There is not a better attorney, a more transparent attorney, or a an aggressive attorney on your behalf then Mrs Payne. No one wins during a divorce. But I promise hire the wrong attorney you lose. I hope I never need an attorney again. But if I do. I will NOT look anywhere else!! Thanks Mrs Payne.

Mrs. Payne and Mrs. Jennifer were both extremely helpful with my divorce. They were always available to help answer and questions and to get the process done as quickly as possible.

Connie and Jennifer were amazing! My husband just came home one day wanting a divorce. I went to speak with Connie. She was very upfront with me and encouraged me to talk to other lawyers as well. I decided to go with her. My husband was having an affair. She not only got a home for my son and I shemade it where I could get my divorce and change back to my maiden name within 6 months. She made sure they didn’t drag it out. She was always honest and told me upfront what was happening. She even helped me with matters after the divorce was final! Wonderful attorney! You won’t be disappointed!

I worked in the legal profession years ago in Princeton, NJ and when I needed an excellent divorce attorney, I contacted my former employer for a referral and Connie was the number one name on the list. Connie was awesome -- she put me at ease at what was clearly the most difficult time of my life -- ending a 28 year marriage. At my initial consultation, Connie gave me a clear picture of what to expect and opened my eyes to possible twists and turns the process could -- and did in fact -- take. I left the initial consultation with a sense of ease and confidence that I had not felt for months. I then made the best decision: I turned the legal handling of my divorce over to Connie so I could focus on getting myself through this emotional time. Connie fought for me, kept me focused on the end game and was supportive throughout. When I felt overwhelmed or frightened, she was right there to get me back on track. Her insight and knowledge are invaluable and she was always at least two steps ahead. Connie was able to keep emotions out of the proceedings and focus on the facts -- and the emotions were high and unstable on the other side yet she remained steady, calm and I'll say it again -- FOCUSED so we could reach an agreement. I was beyond impressed with Connie in the Courtroom -- she was polished in her delivery of my case and gave on point, direct answers to the Judge. When opposing counsel tried to cloud the issues with tangents and mountains/boxes and boxes of paperwork, Connie very calmly brought it back to the issues at hand and clearly the Judge appreciated it -- he even commented on her professional reputation and how grateful he was that a case as multi-faceted as mine was in her hands. My divorce required several court appearances, and at each one I was extremely impressed that almost every attorney waiting for cases to be heard would approach Connie and speak with her, clearly she is held in high esteem with her colleagues as well. Divorce is never easy, both the legal and emotional aspects can be lengthy procedures. The best advice I can offer to anybody facing divorce is to turn the legal aspect over to Connie so you are free to focus on getting yourself and your family through the emotional part as in tact as possible. Connie's paralegal, Jennifer, is equally as awesome, She is calming, efficient and really listened to my concerns. Connie and Jennifer are a great team! I was so overwhelmed and blindsided by my divorce, I don't know that I would have made it through without them!

I am so very happy I was able to retain Ms. Payne. No one wants to find themselves in court. It can be a very stressful situation. Ms. Payne made me feel less stress by doing her job and doing it well. She is very knowledgable and trustworthy. She is willing to go the extra mile and research in order to be prepared for the case. I am very pleased with my cases outcome and would not want anyone else on my side.

Connie Payne recently navigated me through a high conflict divorce and I highly recommend her for the following reasons. She sought justice. She was an expert at what she does. She was professional and always on time and never dropped any balls ever. She fought harder than I had the capacity to fight in the midst of extricating myself from a destructive marriage. She was led by reason rather than emotion and did not needlessly provoke an already inflammatory situation. She gave me honest and expert answers as I took ownership of what was probably the most important personal/financial negotiation of my lifetime. She saw the big picture of how I could best land well at the end of my divorce and guided me step by step towards that end. She partnered with me, forcefully asserting her opinions, but also respecting my goals as the client even if they differed from hers. She demonstrated compassion as I faced what may have been the greatest challenge of my lifetime. And her assistant, Jennifer, embodied these very same values. Thanks to the efforts of this divorce team, I have landed safely, am beginning a new life, and am profoundly grateful.

A well deserved reputation as the best, and she did not disappoint. I would describe myself as an “Average Joe” who works hard and who by any legal or sane definition, was the target of being railroaded by his ex. Connie Payne flipped the script in a big way. She is no nonsense and sticks to the relevant facts. The knowledge and confidence is unparalleled. At the end of the day she WILL fight for you! You get what you pay for. HIRE HER!!! Connie and Jennifer will deliver!!!
