Stephen V Pipenger

I was referred to Steve Pipenger to review a possible case for me. I wrote Steve June 23 asking for a way to pay his fee. It took a week to receive the info. July 7 I wrote asking how long the review process took. I got no response until July 12 in which he said he would review and get back to me by ...end of week. He did not get back to me. July 17 he wrote and said he would have a game plan by mid week the following week. July 22 in the evening I wrote for an update. I got no response. July 25 I wrote ending the review with Steve. He replies he would refund and told me he was reviewing the case and this takes time. But, you promised a date you would deliver the game plan and no response needing an extension. On July 25 he then writes 10 hours later as if the earlier conversation never happened telling me he is reviewing the documents the best he can, but he cannot find the documents I sent??? And to please send them again. I initially sent them several weeks earlier, email tracking shows he opened the email. So basically, he told me he was reviewing the case without the documents to do so and just stringing me along. Why not communicate earlier and say you cannot find them than go through all this? Very disappointed. Communication is key in this type of attorney/client situation. I am fine with delays as long as it is communicated before hand. 23 days since I paid for the review and did not get anywhere with this attorney. Edited to add this attorney promised me twice he would refund my fee. As of today I have not received the fee and status inquiry emails are ignored. j Edited per the contract he was to review the arbitration files, documents, and interview me. He did not review the arbitration files per his own words he lost them, out of 7 initial emails of evidence he opened 3. He did not interview me either. In fact, it was a disability discrimination case. He did not ask me one thing about the disabilities or for diagnosed medical evidence. One of which was an affidavit. Edited to select the option that I hired him as I did so for a review and paid a nonrefundable fee (but only if work done). Edited to reduce stars because of knowledge learned, incidents that have happened since I wrote this review.

We hired Steve Pipenger for a breach of contract issue in the NY Courts for our UK business. He has been excellent through out and at every stage explained the process in a layman's language and his expertise has helped us to put forward a strong case. In my professional career, I have worked... with legal experts from UK and West Coast and understand what it takes to deliver. Working with him, I have experienced his expertise, trustworthiness & professionalism, it only fair to say that his services are of excellent quality. Hence I would strongly recommend his services.

A rare combination of business law and actual business. An important asset when we work with foreign companies. Steve immediately brought in trust and in-depth knowledge that they were looking for. Under a time constraint, he prepared and delivered a well thought out presentations about U.S. corporat...e laws.
