Payton R. Hostens

Payton is the latest dynamic Associate to grace Abrahams Kaslow & Cassman LLP. Hailing from the University of Iowa, where she honed her legal acumen with a BA in Pre-Law Studies, Payton  continued her academic journey at Creighton University School of Law, emerging magna cum laude—a testament to her dedication and prowess.

But Payton is more than just her degrees. At Creighton, she made waves as an integral member of the champion Arbitration Team that clinched the top spot in the 2021 Midwest Regional of the ABA Arbitration Competition. Not to mention, her eloquence saw her crowned as the Outstanding Oralist in 2020 during Creighton’s Moot Court Competition—yet another feather in her cap with her team seizing first place.

Her achievements have been recognized far and wide, earning her a revered spot in the Order of Barristers and an induction into the Phi Delta Phi International Legal Honors Society. While she’s fiercely passionate about the legal field, Payton also dedicated her time to champion women’s voices in law through the Women’s Law Society Association. Her academic excellence did not go unnoticed either, with her winning two prestigious CALI Excellence for the Future Awards.

As she embarks on her journey at Abrahams Kaslow & Cassman LLP, Payton’s focus will be on Business Law and Estate Planning. Clients can look forward to her meticulous attention to detail, her innate ability to navigate complex issues, and above all, her genuine drive to help them realize their business dreams and personal aspirations.
