I was arrested for a minor drug offense while passing through Texas. Tray provided excellent advice, made some phone calls to find out what happened with my case after my calls to 10 different numbers were fruitless("No Bill" at the grand jury, thankfully), and he didn't charge a penny for the help. He literally could not have been more helpful and insightful. If you need a lawyer, Tray is the best!

Payne & Truitt Attorneys at Law has made this new and unfamiliar experience an easy one. The office is always presentable and clean. The secretary, Hope, is wonderful and friendly every time we have the opportunity to see one another. Lori Truitt is amazingly honest and truly cares about the family she works with. She is not in this profession to take people's money, instead she does everything in her power to help people. She has helped my children and I so much, and we could not be more appreciative of her and the other wonderful employees in the office.
