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.

She made the process almost bearable!

After sitting down for a consultation with Jennifer, I was expecting competent legal advice and a strong advocate throughout the legal process. But from the moment I retained her, she exceeded my expectations by taking the time to listen, learn what outcomes were most important to me, and share her ...experience, insights and knowledge of the SC family court system to come up with a strategy and plan that was responsive to my needs as well as the legal realities of the situation. She helped me decide which battles to fight and which would just waste my time, emotional energy and financial resources. The end result is that the matter was resolved with a lot less time, cost, stress and compromise than what I would have expected in even the best case scenario. Of course I can't forget to mention that her staff was also extremely helpful, knowledgeable and supportive!

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...

Jennifer Lippmann- Excellent trial lawyer

Jennifer S.Lippman is an excellent trial attornery. She spends many hours in the court room and I was able to benefit from her experience. I was the respondent to a child support hearing where the petitioner was requesting unreasnoble demands. Jennifers's knowledge of the law, case law and her dilli...gence in the court room resulted in a decision that I felt was fair. There are many careless attorney's that allow the system to impose unjust decisions, Jennifer Lippmann is not one of them. I'm grateful for her dilligence and highly recommend her.

Jennifer is dedicated, trustworthy and smart

I found Jennifer when I was desperate. I had struggled in a difficult case nearly 8 years. She was an angel sent to me.She kept we well informed, gave me excellent advice and pulled no punches. Wether I wanted to hear it or not she told me the facts. She did not drag the case out as so many other... lawyers may to boost their wages. She gave me the best advice even if it did not cause her monitary gain. She has a trustworthy and kind way about her, and she did not charge outragous fees. I am proud to advocate for her services. Jennifer is an outstanding lawyer.
