Law Offices of Michael D Payne

After been a victim of assault/​robbery in October 2013, the trial jury found the 2 perpetrators guilty of assault. In the count of robbery the court had a hung jury and ended proceedings in June 2014. Now I have 2 years after criminal trial ended to proceed a civil case, that takes me to June 2016 before SOL expired. I contacted the office of Michael Payne on July 2014, so I thought? Instead I was routed to a paralegal by the name of Belinda in the city of west covina (inconveniently 1hr away) to start process and looked into my case. In February 2015, Belinda setup an interview with insurance adjuster (property owner’s insurance company) where crime took place. After months NO foward process, I contacted Belinda in October 2015 (like i been doing all other months previous) and come to find out Michael Payne (never meet/​or spoke to) was NOT continuing the case, but no one bother to notify me. So I ask Belinda to send me letter of this action, which by the way she HAD mailed it previously (so she claimed). November, no letter. December, no letter. January 2016, I visited Belinda in Covina, asking politely for the letter. Obviously she was too busy and letter was not readily available and other excuses (not surprise). So I ask her to e-​mail to me (provided 2 e-​mails) for her convince, since regular post-​mail is not working for her. February 1^st 2016, NADA. No email, no post-​mail, no calls. So I filed complaint with State Bar of California. Office of Michael Payne had 10 working days to comply with my request (case file). On the 12^th working day I notify the state bar. On February 24, I had to personally pick up file from Belinda in Covina. Wow finally. Unprofessional to the Max.

After searching online for potential attorneys I came across the law offices of Michael Payne. I was in a car accident and need representation for my case and I must say I’m beyond satisfied with the service I received. I was guided throughout the process and his office staff was able to answer all the questions I had. The law offices of Michael Payne are very knowledgable of the field and I recommend them to anyone who needs outstanding representation. Fun fact, after some online research I found out that Michael Payne was the attorney for the doctor in the Kanye West case, how interesting is that???

I have used Mike in my case and he was a true professional! He helped me navigate the process with great ease. He told me what to expect at every move and made me feel less anxious about the process. His staff is always available to answer any questions that I had. I have recommended him to my family and friends.
