Excellent lawyer who does excellent work!

I hired Ms. Lippmann to represent me in a CPS case where I was wrongfully indicated. I went for a consultation and immediately retained her. As I explained my case, she actually listened to me (which was not the case with other lawyers I had previously experienced) She listened to my whole story and... was very honest and upfront about what my situation and what my possibilities were, good AND bad. She very thoroughly and without delay read through my case files and researched every aspect of my case, inside and out. She was highly knowledgeable about CPS cases and understood my situation of being in an abusive relationship. Ms. Lippmann was diligent with my case. She communicated efficiently and made me feel confident that my case was in good hands. Through her electronic portal I was able to transmit documents easily and efficiently. She kept in contact with me and always returned my calls promptly. I am extremely happy to say that my case was dismissed even BEFORE my court date! After many months of stress and worry she lifted the weight off my shoulders. I am incredibly grateful for her and couldn’t be happier with my choice to retain her. Money well spent and her work was worth every penny! She is absolutely an excellent lawyer and I highly recommend Ms. Lippmann for representation.

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.

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...

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.

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.
