G. Cleveland Payne III - Marietta, GA

Mr Payne, and his staff, were very helpful in assisting me to make a Will and Advanced Directive. They kept me up to date on process and provided some helpful insights

We brought to Cleve a very challenging situation. It included dealing with an intestate death and several non-english speaking heirs in a foreign country. It took a few years to finalize, but Cleve hung in there with us and got everything completed. He was very patient and guided us through the process. To say we couldn't have done it without him would be a huge understatement. We are very grateful to have found Cleve.

M. Payne is very knowledgeable and professional. Always goals oriented. My Family and I definitely recommend him

I would 100% recommend Cleve Payne as an attorney. He is very professional, responsive, friendly, and accurate. There is no way I would go to anyone else. I even asked him one time for a reference for a real estate attorney and his recommendation was spot on. His staff is incredibly responsive and friendly. Look no further if you need a family lawyer. He is the best!

During the past year I was executor for the wills of two relatives who passed away. Throughout the process of navigating the complexities of these situations I relied on advice from Cleve Payne. Based on my experience I recommend Cleve. I found him to be professional, knowledgeable, and most important to me, reliable and a pleasure to work with.

My husband and I recently had Mr. Payne update our wills . Ours is a blended family so we had a lot of questions. He is very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions in a manner that was easy to understand. Very pleased with the services provided.

Highly recommend. Exceptional, caring attorney and staff. Very knowledgeable and efficient with the probate and will process. A pleasure to work with.

I was desirous to have a will completed ASAP... . I was referred to Mr Payne by a friend who was very satisfied with his experience with attorney Payne.. When I met with Mr. Payne on Wednesday, I voiced my concerns/wishes..he listened and gave great advice.. He was very attentive... very engaging and professional.. he understood I wanted everything completed in a short period of time.. ..thus he communicated via emails, even on the weekend, as we exchanged info and made changes.. that needed to be included to have everything in place for the following Monday final appointment .. My experience was that attorney Payne exemplified Strong professional and Christian qualities, with sincere concern, for best interests, as well as for my beneficiaries’ best interests at heart .. I “highly recommend” attorney Payne for any services he specializes in.. he and his office staff.. very professional..

Mr Payne and Pam were excellent to work. From our visit to our last phone call. I felt very welcome each time we spoke. I live in Missouri and we were able to take care most everything by phone. Very happy that Mr Payne was able to help getting everything done in a timely manner with my fathers estate.

Several years ago my daughter needed a divorce lawyer. After interviewing several other lawyers we met with Attorney Payne and knew within minutes that he was the one we wanted and that choice proved to be correct throughout the process. Recently I needed help with a probate matter so called on Attorney Payne again and he proved again that he was the one to do the job. He is so knowledgeable and ensures that all of the details are done right the first time.

I enjoyed working with Mr. Payne very much. He is very knowledgeable and treated me with respect and professionalism. He made the process easier for me and my family. I would not hesitate to call on him again.

I was in need of an attorney to advise me about the probate of a will that was complicated by divorce resulting in many issues needing resolution. I researched attorneys and felt compelled to contact Mr. Payne. I am so glad I made that decision. His knowledge, expertise, and commitment to successfully address every issue far exceeded my initial expectations. Both Mr. Payne and Pam are outstanding professionals and treated me with such kindness and compassion as I dealt with difficult personal situations during the time I worked with them. I am so grateful for this firm's excellent work and that my stress has been relieved!

After my mother passed away earlier this year, I needed assistance handling her estate. She had lived in Georgia while I was in Florida which made things challenging. I was looking online in search of an attorney who dealt with Georgia probate law. I intended on making several phone calls but after speaking with Mr. Payne I knew that God had lead me to the right person. Mr. Payne and Mrs. Greer took care of everything from there and were always communicating with me each step of the way. A special thanks to them for making the situation easy and I strongly recommend Mr. Payne.

Mr. Payne prepared my will, power of attorney, power of health, and a prenup. He was very professional and helpful in explaining what I needed. I would recommend him to anyone.

I was having major issues settling my Mom's estate that were further complicated by me living in California and my Mom's passing and assets that required Probate to settle in Georgia. Once I engaged Cleve to settle the estate things went quickly and smoothly. Cleve was a complete professional, he was responsive and efficient, he communicated clearly and often, and he solved my problems. Cleve did a great job!

Mr. Payne and Mrs. Greer were absolutely fantastic when I was going through my divorce! I was overwhelmed by the entire process, and they took the time to listen to my concerns and clearly explain everything to me. They slowed it down so I could properly process everything and let me know step-by-step what would be happening. The cost and fees were also made very clear up-front, and were very reasonable. I was very lucky in that my divorce was very amicable and Mr. Payne knew the other lawyer. For such a stressful time, it was made as easy as possible for me. We were able to come to an agreement that was satisfactory to all parties involved. I fully recommend Mr. Payne for anyone needing legal advice and representation. I enjoyed working with him so much I used him two more times afterwards!

The service I received from the office of Mr. Payne was exceptional. He was clear and precise about the probate procedures, time schedule and costs. I have heard that this can be a nightmare to go through, But Mr. Cleveland handled it swiftly, professionally and on budget His assistant, Pam was also wonderful to work with. I am so glad I chose Mr. Cleveland's business to handle this affair for me . Lee E Merchant

After knowing Cleve for many years and using his services I can without hesitation highly recommend his services to anyone. He cares about his clients and always seeks what is best for them. He makes sure his clients understand every step in what ever process they are going through. His communication with his clients is never “over their head.” Once again, he can be trusted to give the best service to his clients as they could find anywhere.

Mr. Payne was a godsend! I recently relocated to Georgia from California where I had been struggling to procure a divorce for quite some time. Upon my first telephone consultation with Mr. Payne, he clearly explained the process that needed to take place, an approximate timeline and the expense involved. He provided every aspect as laid out with the utmost professionalism and courtesy as well as finalizing my divorce ahead of schedule and under budget. I couldn't have asked for him to be any more considerate in guiding me through an emotionally difficult process. Thank you Mr. Payne!!

G. Cleveland Payne III served as my attorney during my recent divorce. I found him to be knowledgeable, compassionate, and of the highest integrity. I highly recommend him and would not hesitate to contact him again in any future legal matters.

Mr. Payne is simply a really friendly gentleman and a knowledgeable attorney. He made the emotionally challenging probate process as smooth as could be.

When finding myself in a life changing situation, I wanted a lawyer with good morals and values to represent me. I also wanted to find someone who could represent me without becoming a number in a large law firm. In choosing Mr. Payne I felt I received the time and attention required to move forward in my circumstances with positive results. He and his staff were both professional, knowledgeable, thorough and caring which meant a lot to me while moving through a difficult time. I was continually involved and kept updated throughout the whole legal process.

My sister and I found Atty Payne after our dad died. He handled having the Will probated, was very good at explaining what was going on and everything went smoothly. I would recommend him.

Mr Payne was very knowledgeable and helpful, provided valuable advice and guidance, and was compassionate and sensitive to my personal situation.

Having known Cleve for many years, I had always known him as a man of high character and integrity. Recently I had a need for his assistance in dealing with matters relating to a family trust document, trustee competincy questions and the movement of that trust from another state. He was able to guide our family through these issues and continues to provide advice in administeing the trust. Our family is very pleased with the outcome and the ongoing advice. His work was timely and he is always accomodating to the urgency of our scheule. It is a pleasure to highly recommend Cleve Payne as an attorney in whom you can place your trust for a successful outcome.

I was grateful to work with Cleveland Payne on my probate case. He was knowledgeable and guided me through the entire process patiently. I felt confident that he understood my situation and was able to handle it efficiently. I highly recommend his services.
