Gave me so much peace

Russell helped me immensely with my divorce. I was very scared about losing my two dogs in the divorce and I told Russell that all I wanted was them. He did that and much more. He gave me the peace to calm down and trust in him that everything would work out. Just like he said it did.

If you want a BULL DOG he is the man

As the title says Mr.Hippe is the Bull Dog you want in your corner. If I had found him when my divorce started my divorce would not have costed me so much money and it wouldn't have taken so long to get done. Mr. Hippe took my case after it got messed up from my first attorney. Mr. Hippe took my case... and turned it around for me. He fought like the Bull Dog that he is, my exs attorney was a bully and Hippe put him back on the porch where he belonged. I won the most important item from my divorce and that is my daughter thanks to him. Trust people don't waste your time looking elsewhere This Georgia Bull Dawg is man you want. I will never be able to say thank you enough.

If he can do it for me he can do it for you

I recently acquired Mr. Hippies services for a very complex case. He handled it perfectly. He works fast, always remains professional and makes you feel like your case is of the utmost importance.

Good Choice

Russell was very trustworthy and a great resource as I navigated a very difficult time. He gives good advice and generally looks out for your best interests. His fees are very reasonable as well.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I recently had the pleasure of litigating with Mr. Hippe on a highly contentious, hard fought custody case. Rusty was a fierce advocate for his client while remaining constantly courteous and professional. Neither I nor his client could have asked more of him. It was a pleasure and reminded me why it was I went to law school in the first place."

  • 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.
