I had a very hard case and Mrs. Hipes and her team were on top of it all. She understood my case and her team made it much easier as I was going through a very long process. She even gave her options on wording and advise on what her thoughts were and made me feel important and heard. My case would have never been solved WITHOUT the professional, compassionate and legal minds of herself and her staff. This is the attorney and staff you want behind you when you feel you can't fight for yourself. I thank you Mrs. Hipes and your great people for helping me when I thought there was no end in sight. If you are reading this, PLEASE call her first. She is the law firm for you.

Mrs. Hipes dug right into my case. She quickly understood all the details and worked tirelessly to help me find a win. Prompt responses, carefully articulated, and with deep knowledge of the law. I could not have worked with a more kind, professional, and responsive person. As wonderful as she was to me, she was however very tough on the defendant; relentless to ensure they understood what truly happened to me, uncover the truth, and find resolution. I would absolutely recommend Mrs. Hipes for your case.

Atty Hipes is compassionate and has a wealth of knowledge concerning employer discrimination cases. Her team is easy to work with and communicates constantly. I highly recommend her to help guide you through your journey. God bless

I rarely leave reviews, but I felt the need to share the experience I had with Jeanne. Not only is she extremely knowledgeable and informed, but she is also deeply compassionate and dedicated to helping her clients. Unlike so many other attorneys, she is an attentive listener, thinks outside of the box, is thorough, and goes out of her way to make sure her clients understand and agree with what is required to move forward. Would highly recommend!

Ms. Hipes was the utmost professional and expert in my EEOC claim. She stuck to her promised timelines regarding preparation of our response, correspondences with the EEOC, and final submission. She was empathetic, considering the ordeal I had endured, and articulated it very effectively. The response she prepared was thorough, accurate, compelling, and extremely well written. Jeanne knew exactly what needed to happen when and so kindly guided me through the process. I would strongly recommend her for your legal needs. She was a bulldog with my case, but an absolute pleasure to work with.

Jeanne never missed a deadline in negotiating my separation from my employer. She ensured that some of the legalese in the agreement was not all one-sided and was able to help me garner some of my bonus that my employer wanted me sacrifice. Overall, the matter was handled expediently without long, drawn out back & forth or mudslinging. I would recommend Jeanne if you need to resolve a separation of employment and have never gone through this situation before. Most employer severance agreements are written with the employer, not the employee in mind. There is much to be sorted out that does not overly penalize the employee; Jeanne was helpful in sorting all of it.

Ms. Hipes and her staff provided excellent counsel regarding my severance issue. They are extremely knowledgeable and spent time presenting all options to me. My case was professionally presented in a thorough and concise manner to my employer resulting in a successful outcome.

Jeanne, and her Team, at Hipes Law supported and fought for me during a difficult turning period in my life. I would recommend her servies to anyone dealing with EEOC and employment law issues.

Ms Hipes is clearly experienced in her field. This was obvious during conversations, case preparation and mediation. She has sound knowledge of employment law and best practices. I appreciated how Ms Hipes prepared me for mediation considering it is emotional and unchartered territory. She is honest and upfront with her assessment of your case throughout the process which is critical in my view. Ms Hipes has a grand network of colleagues from various aspects of the legal world...opposing counsel, mediators, etc. This is valuable as it helps with knowing the audience. Only experience and positive reputation can give you this advantage. Ms Hipes truly understands what her clients live as a result of being violated. Her actions demonstrate this through her involvement with clients and calculated representation with opposing counsel. She shines in mediations. I found strength through her unshakable but fair approach -- always backed with integrity. Ms Hipes is top in her field. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for representation willing to fight the good fight.

After researching attorneys specializing in employment law and litigation, I selected Jeanne Bynum Hipes to represent me in a breach of contract case against my former employer. I can state unequivovally hiring Mrs. Bynum Hipes was the best decision I could have made. I was so impressed with Mrs. Hipes after our initial meeting with her ability to sort through a tremendous amount of information and then write a demand letter capturing the facts with near precision. The letter Mrs. Hipes drafted was so powerful that it in itself clearly outlined to my former employer that Mrs. Hipes was a professional, skilled trial attorney. Although my former employer attempted to resist and continue their efforts of breaching the contract I had secured with them upon my resignation, Mrs. Hipes was quick and to the point in countering their arguments. Mrs. Hipes won my claim (in full plus attorney fees) without needing to file suit or enter an arbitration/mitigation scenario. Clearly, I would always recommend that a person attempt to work out differences prior to seaking legal representation because there is never a guarantee you will win, but if you find yourself in need of an experienced litigator or employment lawyer, Jeanne Bynum Hipes is the Georgia attorney you should be speaking with! I would describe Mrs. Hipes as calm, calculated, thoughtful, responsive, and honest. I was so impressed with Mrs. Hipes' calm demeanor during stressful responses from my former employer's attorney. Mrs. Hipes always thought the issue through, responded strongly with facts, and in each case shut down the other attoner's attempt to counter our claim. Also, I want to mention, although attorney fees are costly, I feel Mrs. Hipes was more than fair with her billings. In short, I can't recommend Mrs. Hipes high enough and should I ever need an attorney again in the future she is without doubt the attorney I will use.

I was had a Severance package that I thought was too low and Jeanne was able to get it significantly raised,

I strongly recommend Jeanne Hipes as an attorney. She was not only helpful and considerate, but she clearly and compassionately explained what was happening along the way. She worked tirelessly on my behalf to come to a final resolution.
