OWI experience

Great group of people working together. Jeff surprised me by the level of accessibility throughout the process. He is well-informed about all the twists and turns that the legal system has when it comes to dealing with an OWI and related offenses. If I decided to step on a slippery slope of crime an...d punishment, I would definitely retain him. If you got an OWI, and especially if it is your first one, do yourself a favor, meet with Jeff.

Confident Trial Lawyer

Jeff was very confident and had vast knowledge in our case. He went over everything, making sure we had a solid defense. He showed high confidence when it came to negotiating with the DA and stood his ground. This level of expertise only comes with years of professional experience. I would hire him ...again. He was also sincere and upfront about his fees, and made you feel cared for as a client. Although payments are necessary, he worked with us and was flexible.

Excellent Service and Hard Working!

Mr. Kippa recently helped me with a 3rd OWI charge. He and his staff were extremely knowledgeable and friendly and helped me negotiate and accept n agreement that worked for me. He was always available if I had questions and went above and beyond to make sure I understood each step of the process. I ...would highly recommend him to friends and family in the future. A+!

Made it so Easy!

OWI, BAC over 0.2, and hit-and-run (property) I don't have the time to deal with this! Didn't need it. One appointment and emailed them whatever I received from DMV. That's all it took! Had an important trip that I needed to drive, so He delayed sentencing. I never had to make an appearance.... Came out of it with 6 months revocation. I certainly expected far, far worse! Thanks Jeffrey & Sara! You removed all uncertainties, and freed me up to tend with far more important things, such as my business. If You need an attorney, don't waste your time looking elsewhere!

Forever Grateful!!

I hired Jeff to defend me on a felony charge that had a maximum of 6 years and 10,000 in fines. There were 3 charges in total but this was the most concerning for me. The first time i met with Jeff he informed me that any domestic conviction would also prohibit me from possessing a firearm. He said i...t would be tough but was confident he could better my situation. I ended up with a DPA and am forever grateful that i hired him to defend my case. Jeff is very professional, but also sincerely cared not only about the outcome of the case but my future. I loved the idea of the flat rate instead of having a huge bill at the end. Whenever i had questions or there was new information regarding my case Jeff was prompt on relaying it over to me. Great defense attorney and I am forever grateful for his intelligence and work ethic. You will not be disappointed!

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.
