Offering a Wealth of Deep Legal Expertise
Originally from the Washington D.C. area and a Duke University graduate, Attorney Payne graduated from the University of Virginia Law School and began practicing in Arizona with Snell & Wilmer more than 30 years ago. Christopher’s passion for the law began before law school as he studied America’s history and the laws created after slavery ended and before segregation began as a student in the South at Duke University. His deeper interest in how the law could be used to protect your family legacy, intellectual property and your business interests develop in law school at the University of Virginia School of Law. After moving west to Arizona to help pass Arizona’s MLK Holiday, Christopher stayed to gain experience in many areas of the law and develop his personal approach to providing legal expertise with intelligent compassion and empathy for his client’s needs.
Christopher’s charismatic style, coupled with his compassionate approach to identifying solutions, creates what he calls a “PayneFree experience” for his clients. Christopher’s knowledge can help you understand the law, how it can be applied to your situation and legal needs, and what it will take to resolve your issue or protect your interests.
