Jeanne Bynum Hipes

I was a client of Jeanne Byunm Hipes, she was retained for a litigation case. A couple of months later she wanted me to sign up for unemployment which I never wanted to do. I was denied unemployent. What she did that I did not like nor want was she wanted to appeal that case. It was costing me a l...ot of money for something that I never retained her for. Ms. Hipes was insistence. The unemployment would have only paided me $77.00 per week if it was granted. I paided Ms. Hipes a total of $19,300.00, for a case that I never wanted, and loss the appeal. She did not respect my wishes to drop that unemployment case, and to continue with the litigation case that I had retained her for.

Jeanne was extremely knowledgeable on employment law, and was very responsive. I appreciated her diligence in seeing my situation through to the end. She helped negotiate a discrimination settlement with my prior employer that was fair and equitable. There were times I wanted to just wrap it up, bu...t she held strong and settled for more than I thought we could get, including getting her attorney fees covered by my former employer. Every time I called, she either answered or got back to me within minutes, which I greatly appreciated. I am extremely busy (like most professionals), and I didn't have to worry about what she was working on for me. She was aggressive, strong and didn't cave to my former employer demands. Yet, she cut a deal where my reputation is intact (and rightly so), and I was able to move on to a more lucrative position at a better company.

Jeanne Bynum Hipes was responsive, knowledgeable and trustworthy while handling my case. She always kept me informed of any pertinent details and was never ending (research, photographs) to the success of my case. She is a dedicated attorney and I always felt like she really cared. I would hire h...er again and recommend her for any legal work required.

I highly recommend Jeanne as an attorney. Jeanne was able to get very favorable results in my financial dispute with a former employer. She creates an atmosphere of class and professionalism that gives her clients a high comfort level. Jeanne is honest throughout the legal process and keeps her cl...ients informed about any potential positive outcome, but also about any potential risks that are a part of any case. Jeanne showed that she was a shrewd negotiator when the offer for a pre-trial settlement was presented. I would definitely recommend Jeanne for any legal needs.
