When health challenges caused me to lose my PhD, Josh helped me to defend myself, and fight to ensure I would receive the credit on my projects that I deserved. He advised and worked with me through one of the lowest points of my life. He's an excellent writer, and crafts legal arguments clearly and concisely. When the administration repeatedly mishandled my academic grievance, he articulated the shortcomings and mistakes I encountered on a level I would not have been capable of without him. I can tell it is in alignment with his values to help fight for what's right, and he did his best to help me wherever possible through this difficult chapter of my life. The process and outcomes were dramatically improved because of his input, and I will be forever grateful to him and all the energy he put into fighting for me. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking assistance with legal matters.

I consulted Layer Lippes through ISB regarding the early lease termination (ahead of time) that was caused by the long-lasting-but-never-solved horrible black ant issue in the apartment. Lawyer Lippes provided very helpful advice which pushed the landlord to agree on the early termination of the lease (Before I got the advice, I had been in a two-month discussion with the landlord but my efforts turned out in vain). Many thanks!

Joshua's expert advise guided me through pursuing a release from a rental agreement and a successful relocation.

I met and consulte with Josh in sbi of Student Union at UB about my case. The case is about my ex-roommate charge me sexual harassment which is a total nonsense and fake charge. For the first hearing, I did not bring any witness or evidence so Judicial Office believed her words and one year suspension is my outcome. Then I find Josh and with his help of editing my appeal letter and giving me all the helpful suggestion and ideas to restate my case in the second hearing. Finally I proved my innocence in Judicial Office and avoid all the trouble and tragedy. I can tell that Josh is a really very professional lawyer and he will give his best help to anyone who needs it!

I hired Mr. Joshua Lippes after I was injured in a car accident. I was referred to him by a family friend for a previous problem. So, I decided to hire him for this. He was able to negotiate a settlement of the case without filing a lawsuit and even reduced his fee by 50%. He said that it was only fair to offer the reduced rate, which I was thrilled about. He is an honest, thoughtful, and skilled lawyer. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

I'm an international student at UB. Unfortunately, I met with an accident this year and I had my first ticket to take care of. Being completely new to the legal system in this country, I had no idea what I should be doing. I hired Josh and he did a wonderful job in informing me of what we would be looking at and how to go about things. Thanks to him, the proceedings in court went smooth. I feel confident that I have someone to go to now if I'm in any legal trouble. (Not that I would WANT legal trouble, but I feel prepared in case something comes up).

I hired Josh to help fight a DWI charge and he did an amazing job. He managed to lower it to a lesser violation so that now I don't have a criminal record. Throughout the entire process he was extremely kind, knowledgeable, and did everything in his power to make sure that I didn't get convicted. I would 100% recommend him!!

Josh was a great attorney and at a more than fair price. He got me the best deal possible and was great at informing me about every step along the way. Would definetly recommend for college students and all others.

My stupidity almost tainted my record but because of Joshua Lippes I have the chance to correct my wrong-doings and act like this ordeal never happened. It was a swift case and the best case scenario was my judgement (having the case thrown away is actually best but you know what I mean) The price was more than fair when I compared to other lawyers who "help" college students and I'm glad I chose Joshua as my lawyer and hopefully I won't need him again, but just in case, I saved his number!

Joshua helped me out when I received speeding ticket right before I had to leave Buffalo. He's very professional and explained the process in very simple terms. He was able to reduce my moving violation down to just parking tickets, which I thought wouldn't happen. Overall, I would definitely have Joshua as my lawyer once again if ever need be.

I met Mr.Joshua in SBI Legal Assistance office at University at Buffalo. I was wrongly accused for stalking. As an international student, I wasn't aware of the laws in USA. Mr.Joshua thoroughly asked me about the incident and negotiated with DA and Judge for an ACD and he succeeded. Mr.Joshua even guided me with the Judicial Affairs proceedings in the university and helped me in getting my suspension at the university uplifted. He even picked me up to the court hearings. I would definitely recommend him for any legal assistance.

I am a normal 18-year old and naive college student who had never got in trouble with big authorities or the legal system before. I am a pre-health student, hoping to be a doctor. After using a friend's student ID to purchase food (I lost mine at the time), I was accused of a felony of using someone's credit card---which was not true at all considering I didn't even touch anyone else's credit card in my life. In return, I lost my resident advisor job as well as my chance to be a student assistant teacher. Attorney Lippes was recommended to me by a school staff member. He was open to questions, explained the processes I needed to go through, easy to talk to, and overall a great attorney. I was frightened for my future because of this felony accusation, but Attorney Lippes was great to talk to and handled my situation very well. In the end, my wrongly accused felony turned into an ACD (Adjournment in Contemplation of Dismissal---basically a dismissed and locked case as long as I didn't do anything wrong in the next 6 months) with 50 hours of community service, an essay, and nothing on my permanent record.
