Mr. Lipinsky, demonstrated excellent analytical skills and experience in the area of law for my particular problem. I was impressed at how quickly he was able to logically process the facts, apply specific experience and relevant labor laws to my particular problem. Faced with the daunting task of having just days to file before the statute of limitations ran out, I was impressed with how quickly he was able to make reasonable judgments and assumptions about my case and file such a compelling complaint and other documents before the deadline.
Mr. Lipinsky applied his excellent interpersonal skills to develop a trusting relationship. It’s very difficult to trust others to look out for you specifically when you are going through a battle surrounded by distrust. He understood and conveyed to me the strengths and weakness of my case and worked directly with me to achieve positive results. He involved me in the creation of a resolution without placing his opinions above mine. He patiently educated me through how the litigation process works. He sincerely owned my problem, and encouraged a belief that he would do everything possible to help me succeed. He was willing to learn about my expected goals and outcomes, explaining what he would do for me.
During mediation Mr. Lipinsky’s skill as a negotiator was remarkable. Here he consistently demonstrated his ability to make wise decisions, take sensible risks and implement fair solutions when met with challenges. He conveyed wisdom and experience as he managed expectations selectively using leverage to help guide a resolution. Legal fees did not become a barrier to a settlement in my case. He delivered on his promise, I got a fair result, and most importantly I felt good about my outcome.
Thank you Mr. Lipinski!
I was the victim of harassment at my place of work, based on my same sex relationship and my status as a gay male. I was taunted, called names, humiliated infront of co-workers by my supervisors and manager. When I told my H.R rep and district H.R they did nothing. The last straw was when my H.R and supervisor started telling the general workforce about my sexual status and if they've ever seen me in any lued acts. That's when I took legal acting against the company. Daren was recommend to me by a friend, so i looked him up and read his profile. I was looking for a lawyer who had experience in labor relations, sexual harassment and harassment based on sexual orientation and he fit the bill.
From our first meeting, he made me feel comfortable discussing the full details of what was happening to me at work. He took notes and kept me composed during every meeting we had. He gave me realistic time frames for what was to come moving forward. Standing up to my harassers was not easy but Daren assured me that I was making things better for myself and others.
Fast forward several months.... Litigation time. He prepared me about the environment we were about to enter. I was extremely nervous and excited at the same time. I wanted to tell the "Big Brown company" I have worked for and still do what they've done to me and how wrong they were to treat me and many others like me that way. So they had the TEAM of lawyers and the district H.R manger on one side and Daren and I on the other. Daren's words were sharp, clear and to the point. To make a long story short, we came to a very fare settlement. I did not loose any wages and still had my job which I've held for 17 yrs.
In the end I left really good for what I've done and I owe it all to Daren, for taking my case, knowing the law and caring for peoples rights in today's society.

Amazing! An absolute Godsend!!
I was scared and nervous about suing someone. However, Daren told me to trust him and leave the worrying to him. He promised to take care of me and to get me everything that I deserved. He honestly cared about me and my family. He worked very hard to get me the compensation that I deserved after the wrongs had been done to me. When I felt that I might be asking him stupid questions he said that "No question is stupid". I felt very comfortable talking to him and he was very good at listening. I am so grateful for his services , he changed my life for the better. Also, something very important to note: he went up against a huge company for me and they had a team of very experienced lawyers. Even so, he fought for me and got me so much more than I expected. Thank you Daren, from the bottom of my heart! God bless you!!!!!!!

Everything you need and more
When I was discriminated and denied a job for being pregnant, I was devestated, overwhelmed, mad and hurt. When I met with Mr. Lipinsky he let me know it was going to be ok, any questions or concerns he answered right away. He made me feel like a friend not just a client, someone I can talk to and would listen. He really looks for your best interest at heart. I looked around for other lawyers before finding Mr. Lipinsky, and he was the only one that trully explained everything to me in detail and spoke to me with the truth with anything and everything dealing with my case. With Mr. Lipinsky you don't only have a lawyer that will fight for what is entitled to you, but a friend that lets you know its ok and things like this happen to the best of us.
