Early termination of lease

I consulted Layer Lippes through ISB regarding the early lease termination (ahead of time) that was caused by the long-lasting-but-never-solved horrible black ant issue in the apartment. Lawyer Lippes provided very helpful advice which pushed the landlord to agree on the early termination of the leas...e (Before I got the advice, I had been in a two-month discussion with the landlord but my efforts turned out in vain). Many thanks!

Rental Agreement

Joshua's expert advise guided me through pursuing a release from a rental agreement and a successful relocation.

Car Accident Case

I hired Mr. Joshua Lippes after I was injured in a car accident. I was referred to him by a family friend for a previous problem. So, I decided to hire him for this. He was able to negotiate a settlement of the case without filing a lawsuit and even reduced his fee by 50%. He said that it was only fa...ir to offer the reduced rate, which I was thrilled about. He is an honest, thoughtful, and skilled lawyer. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

DWI Charge

I hired Josh to help fight a DWI charge and he did an amazing job. He managed to lower it to a lesser violation so that now I don't have a criminal record. Throughout the entire process he was extremely kind, knowledgeable, and did everything in his power to make sure that I didn't get convicted. I ...would 100% recommend him!!

DWI client

I met Mr. Lippes through the University at Buffalo's Student Legal Services office. I found him to be informative and hired him to represent me for a DWI. I was very happy with the outcome, and would recommend him to anyone looking for a lawyer.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
