Excellent Lawyer

We hired Ms. Lippman to represent our daughter in family court. A temporary restraining order had been filed against our daughter and she needed representation to dispute the charge. Not only was Jennifer extremely professional and knowledgeable, she helped our daughter with a situation she was faced... with in a diligent and compassionate manner. Ms. Lippman and our daughter talked prior to the court date. She reviewed everything with our daughter and was well prepared. The case was dismissed that day and we are all extremely grateful. She is absolutely a lawyer we would recommend highly.

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!

Professional/Smart/Trustworthy

Ms Lippmann represented me on a child support matter in which the court was seeking jail time. She was very upfront on the positive and negative regarding my case. Even as my attorney and it was my fault I was behind, she shared with me a positive life lesson on how it important to be responsible fo...r my child's needs, not only was she my attorney she always cared for the well-being of my child in which she never met. I recommend her highly because she trust worthy and she will represent you 100%. You want someone that knows the laws that her!!!!

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.
