Marquise Bryant is very good honest attorney. I mean this from my heart. He has worked tirelessly on the case. This case is finished even before time because most cases of this dynamic takes over 3 years or more to complete; this case was completed in 2 due to Mr. Bryant evidence and investigation. I recommend Mr. Bryant and Payne Law Firm. I have used Payne Law Firm in the past. This was my husband case and a unique situation. My first time working with Mr. Bryant and he is professional by the book. Highly recommend Mr. Bryant
