COULDNT ASK FOR A BETTER ATTORNEY

I had to hire a lawyer in a very short amount of time 24 hours to be exact . I spoke with marcus and after a phone call to his colleague John Shipley they decided to take the case . Marcus was very nice , very informative, and very honest ! Since everything was so last minute Marcus and John went out... of there way to set up an hour after conference call the night before court so they could go over everything with me . Mr. Shipley met me in Memphis the following morning at 8:45 am to go over a few things with me before court . Once at the federal court house Mr. Shipley was very professional but also very caring . He never left my side and everything went smoothly . I honestly cant thanks them enough !

Lawyer

Can not express how grateful I was to have him represent me. I had never been in anything like this and he helped me understand every part. Mr. Lipham reassured me that he was doing everything he could and would update me then things changed or he learned something new. I don't know what I would have... done if he had not represented me with such care and persistence. All I can say is thank you!

Great Lawyer and family man

Mr Lipham, is a great lawyer. He used his unconventional problem solving skills to get my issue resolved. He is detail oriented which in turn, allowed him to leave no stone unturned while he worked on my file. I would hire Mr. Lipham again

Criminal defense lawyer | Feb 12

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"Marcus Lipham worked as in intern in my office for two years while in law school. He was able to participate in representing client's under our supervision. He was ethical, courteous and diligent in all that he did. In addition to a legal education, he also has acquired a quite sensible education about life itself---the combination of which enhance his insight into the troublesome situations in which clients find themselves. Rarely is any client's case is good--or as desperate---as the client may see it. For an honest appraisal of any client's situation, it would be hard to find a lawyer better than Marcus Lipham---and he will zealously represent his clients who have the wisdom to retain him."
