A women who helps close a chapter in your life with opening your eyes to new ones

I believe a higher power directed me into the hands of Jennifer Lippmann as I was a naive, innocent 30 year old woman who had never seen a courtroom or even knew their were people aka lawyers that could not only “win” your case but essential to getting your life back on track. I was so naive that a l...awyer was a lawyer…. If I had done nothing wrong and had nothing to hide , I shouldn’t have to search high and low for a way out of my short lived, highly volatile marriage. Thank god the first lawyer I called who I found via Google search bar by entering “lawyers near me” didn’t just see dollar signs or a new case, she heard my voice, listened to my story and honestly told me she she wasn’t the type of lawyer my situation needed, and kindly referred me to Powers Law specifically Jennifer Lippmann. I was a little confused but grateful for any guidance. The day I called Powers Law was when I decided to also Google 2020 cheating apps and downloaded about 6, finding my husband by his cell phone number on every one. I’d known for months something was different and wrong but couldn’t get an answer. After I messaged him on one, he came home from work early, entered our apartment, grabbed a pair of jeans and a shirt and left without a word. I was working remotely and we had a 6 month old son. I remember being so confused because I didn’t even flip out like I should have. I actually said their is obviously your unhappy with, let’s try therapy but he told me I was a “mentally ill, drug addict” and he never wanted me to begin with. I remember I transferred like $400 of our money into a savings account because he had previously kept his paycheck from our account when we’d get into an argument knowing I’d have no choice but to forgive him when we had no money. He told me I stole money from him and I would be penalized when the time came. I called the number of the lawyer i was referred to and I’ll never forget getting a man (John Powers) who spoke to me for 30 minutes reassuring me I absolutely did not steal money, it was our own account and I remember him saying “if he is already pulling this crap, I assure you that you have called the right place” and informed me on important decisions i should immediately make for my safety and my childs & arranged an appointment with Jen a few days later. Ironically that weekend after I met her , I had to call 911 over a domestic incident and before i was even a client John has called me back as did Jen who specified how important it was that I take my child and myself and I go to my parents (which I naively thought was illegal) because of the threats and fears my husband had filled my head with. Once I had this team on my side, my life slowly turned around and in the beginning it felt like my life would never be okay again. Their were accusations of my husband leaving our child in an unattended car for an unsafe period of time, women sneaking into our apartment while I was in the hospital after a car accident, almost a dozen verbal and domestic incidents and even a CPS investigation. I remember feeling so helpless at one point, I just wanted to give him what he wanted to stop the torture but that would mean my son and that was not an option. Jen has been a powerhouse of strength, smarts and just human morality within such a tumultuous series of events. Today, although my case isn’t over I can tell you my husband has zero control over my life when a year ago he controlled the whole thing. She has put safety measures into place and been the voice i didnt have for myself, but grew when my son was born. She knows every answer to every question the judge asks and it’s exactly how I would respond. She doesn’t just people please me through my case but is honest and fair and i am never surprised with any outcome because of this. I made a choice to marry a man who lived a whole life I never knew existed until I had to. At a time where trust was the most confusing word in the dictionary, I hired Jen & relearned it

~~ JOB WELL DONE ~~

In May 2016 I petitioned the courts for custody of my daughter and son. My custody had been taken away some time ago due to alcohol and drug abuse. A long the way Ms.Lippmann has been my representation. Miles from seeing the light Ms.Lippmann showed up for me all the times through. Through the bad... , the messy, and the beauty. It is with great pleasure and gratitude to say on August 30 I was granted full custody of my children. There is no other I would have had stand beside me. Ms.Lippmann is upfront, straightforward and tough. A woman I strongly admire in the world. My life has completely changed because of this woman standing beside me. There was a time in my life where I thought I'd never have custody of my children again. She ...~~ Jennifer Lippmann ~~ ...is the one that made that happen. I will be forever grateful ~~~~ I highly recommend Ms.Lippmann for representation. Ms.Lippmanns secretary Ann was but one of the best in returning my calls and or relaying messages with returned responses. As well as making me aware of upcoming court dates and or adjournments. She is on point and gracious in her works. Powers law is a powerful team of people that get things done.......

John Powers and Jennifer Lipman

I have been in court since June 17th I originally was there do to accusations from CPS. When I went to court it was a totally different situation I was given 3 breathalyzer test and they all came out 0.0 and I was told I was an alcoholic and I do not drink at all. Then when I entered the courtroom I ...had a court appointed attorney which I got probably the worst attorney you could get some people get lucky. After going into court they then wanted to test my urine for drugs I don't do drugs either I did this during the break for lunch I was told everything is fine and I left. After I got home and took care of lunch for my children I called CPS because I have nothing to hide Suddenly I was being told that I had dirty urine and to get back down to call ASAP. They told me to bring my children which I did my attorney never called and no one said anything to me and I know who I am and I know I do not do drugs and alcohol long story short when I came out my kids will go on CPS told my children Miss Jody Thompson that I left them and I didn't love them. I have been back and forth a quart and if the judge thought that I was doing drugs she should have told me to go to a program well I went on my own and what do you know clean. I went to the hospital I had blood work clean no drugs in my system. The amount of drugs and what they've claimed I have done is out of control that a horse would pass out. I was told by the person from outpatient that CPS and my court appointed attorney that I am being set up. They never covered my urine and put tape on top to make sure that it was sealed never had my name on the cup I did my research and that is the proper way and the way that it supposed to be done. Since I have been putting tape on top of my urine and looking at it myself it's now coming out clean the court system and the lab that they are using definitely should be brought up on charges and they should be paying for what they have done to people in a legal manner. I then called powers Law Firm and I was working with Miss Jennifer Lipman I immediately hired her because of her background my knowledge obviously Word of Mouth of her and her partner. That was the best decision I ever made when I went into court today absolutely 360 degree change I was able to see my kids again talk to them no restrictions everything that you could ask for and then some with one time of having Jennifer Lipman by my side. I cannot say anything but that was my best decision by hiring Miss Lipman, I know see the light I know that everything is going to be just fine because I hired the best attorney I recommend anybody that is in a situation and family court to give power Law Firm a coil and hire them because they get everything done properly and no questions have to be asked you say something once and it is heard very clearly. Once again the best decision I ever made.

Forever Grateful

I am writing in regards to, sincere gratitude~~ Ms.Lippman had represented me in a V=Docket case of custody pertaining to my children in 2013. At that time in my life I was not in a very good place. I had been struggling with addiction and could not seem to understand with all my effort...s how I could continued to end up right back where I started. Since signing the v=docket custody papers in 2013 I still had faith that one day it would come to be that I would be able to apply for my custody. However my recovery had to come first. It is with great pleasure to share I live in a 12 Step program of recovery and do not need to be ashamed of that anymore. I have worked on my shame and guilt that comes along with addiction. I turn my will over to God on a daily basis. So the day came... the day of filing my petitions.. Upon filing my petitions in 2015 Ms.Lippmann was appointed to represent me. I couldn't be more grateful and appreciative of her time, dedication and efforts.. I have since then been granted unsupervised visits.. Although I am powerless of the overall outcome of the custody I am very grateful to have Ms.Lippmann stand beside me through this process. Ms.Lippmann possesses herself to be reliable, responsible & dedicated, to all areas of what is needed for representation... I will be forever grateful to her for her time in defending me to be reunited with my children...

Very nice, but better options out there

We hired Ms. Lippman within the past few years. She came recommended by someone, which sounded refreshing after other bad lawyers. We dropped the $5k after the consult for the retainer. I figured we would get back whatever isn't used, since that is how it has worked in the past. Money upfront to ensu...re funds, get back what's not used. First day to court she was late by 30+ minutes. No progress made, really... I felt like I wasn't being fought for. We ended up doing all paperwork out of court. She ended up sending me a draft of a court order for custody and I modified it myself, as it didn't include various fundamentals we had requested. Back and forth we went a few times. Getting a call back or an email back took way too long at times. I would leave several messages before she would email me back. At the end of it all, she went to court once, drafted a court order and did some emails. I find it downright criminal that someone gets to keep money for work not done. To my knowledge, we never received any billing information, either. I would personally suggest looking elsewhere.

Replied last March 16, 2018

This review is plainly not true. Our Firm enters into a Retainer Agreement with each client clearly stating our fee schedule and billing procedures. Our office uses a software program that allows every client to view both present and prior invoices, access work product, and communicate with us directly. This post does not set forth accurate fees charged by our Firm for the work claimed to have been done. As of today, my office has not received any complaints regarding billing and/or work product from prior clients we represented on custody and/or visitation matters. We encourage every client to review each aspect of a proposed custody/visitation agreement before it is signed and submitted to the Court. Fortunately for this anonymous client, only one court appearance was necessary to come to what must have been a favorable agreement. We are proud of our work and even more proud of our ethical standards. When the reviewer can't remember receiving billing information and is posting inaccurate fees, I must question whether this review is even real or made by an opposing party.
