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

Andrea F. - Divorce / Separation Client

Ms. Lippman was hired to represent me in my divorce proceedings. Ms. Lippman was very professional, courteous and highly knowledgeable. Ms. Lippman was always communicating with me in between court dates and made me feel confident she had mine and my children's best interest during proceedings for ...a successful outcome. I would highly recommend retaining her.

My Highest Recommendation

It’s hard to overestimate the role Jennifer Lippmann played in helping me to get my life back on track. Mine was a difficult divorce from an abusive, controlling spouse. Though I was at a great disadvantage in every way measurable, Jennifer worked tirelessly to exploit every angle and extract for me ...the best possible outcome. With her relaxed, confident bearing, formidable intellect and commanding physical presence, she took the lead in directing the course of every court appearance. Communication with her was always easy as well. At all times she kept me well informed and was prompt in responding to my questions with patience, accuracy, and above all, compassion. Her very professional and efficient staff were a pleasure to work with also. Jennifer Lippmann gets my highest recommendation.

OUTSTANDING

An absolutely phenomenal attorney, Jennifer Lippman is intelligent, quick-thinking, assertive and motivated. She is persuasive with the Court and reasonable with her clients. Jen is a thorough communicator and commands respect in the courtroom without being dramatic. I am involved in a heavily cont...entious divorce and my case was in the Court system for over 3 years before Jen began representing me. She very thoroughly and without delay read through my case files and researched every aspect of my case, inside and out, and knows my case now even better than I do. Jen is very well organized and keeps on top of my case, truly making me feel as if I'm the only client she is representing. While in Court, her thorough knowledge of my case allows Jen to speak exactly what is on my mind so I never feel like I'm not being heard. She makes sure my concerns are articulated to the Court and seeks timely and fair resolution to all issues that arise. She keeps in touch and returns calls PROMPTLY. Extremely easy to talk to, a great and effective listener, and very understanding. I have been in the Court system for years and have seen, heard, and been through it all. Jennifer Lippman has accomplished more for me in the last year than the high profile law firm I had previously retained accomplished in almost 4 years. I am finally at ease knowing there is an end to my divorce in sight, thanks to Jen's hard work, extensive knowledge, and expertise. I would VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND Jennifer Lippman. Do not make the mistake of using someone else. You will not be disappointed.
