This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Criminal Defense Attorney

Great Attorney. Had him as a defender in criminal matter and the way he kept and held the State to Jurisprudence gave me confidence throughout the entire procedurals. It was like he had a cord tethering him to the grounded Truths. Specifically speaking upon one of his maneuvers: a Cop had under oath ...lied and Him being faced with the dilemma of A.) Objecting upon "Violating Amendments" with the caveat as Possible additional year(s) added; but required My taking stand for Obtaining facts, thus subjecting us to factually admitting Terms of Guiltiness or, B.) Draw up deal(?) offered up. Well he smacked the cops' testimony for a Power line-drive! I was dubious of helping us either way, but I always had faith in his convictions (Irony?); but not so beit his swaying of it, but -this being of trail phase- he broke out the Szweet Suit! The rest is on recording

Superb Employment Law Attorney

Avi has an extraordinary command of employment law, particularly related to financial advisors. He is incredibly bright, works extremely hard, communicates very well, is responsive, balanced, and his legal writing is outstanding, offering unparalleled attention to detail. Avi fought hard to protec...t my interests and achieve our desired outcome in the end. Beyond being one heck of an attorney (with a criminal litigation background no less), Avi is a consummate professional as well as a truly kind and compassionate person. Hiring an attorney to keep you out of trouble is never cheap, but billing was always fair and money very well spent! I cannot recommend Avi highly enough!!

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"As a former prosecutor, I worked against Avi Lipman on several occasions. I knew I had my work cut out for me whenever Avi was on the other side. Avi is very intelligent, extremely hardworking, and tenacious in obtaining a positive outcome for his client. Avi will be one of the great litigators in Washington for years to come, and I would endorse him without hesitation to anyone needing the services of a great trial lawyer."

Litigation lawyer | Oct 12

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"During the two years I worked with Avi at The Defender Association he demonstrated himself to be a very intelligent and zealous advocate, both for his clients and his co-workers. Avi's dedication was most evident when, on a very serious homicide case, his thorough investigation convinced the prosecuting attorney of his client's likely innocence, resulting in an outright dismissal. Avi's reputation as a highly persuasive and scrupulous attorney is well earned."
