Highly knowledgeable and experienced in construction and engineering-related legal matters

2
Diligent, thorough, and prepared in handling complex cases

Excellent communication and client-focused approach

4
Willing to go above and beyond for clients, even on a pro bono basis
“Moreover, he bent over backwards to help my mom and so far has done it all on a pro bono basis.”
5
Honest and professional in his conduct
“Mr. Lippl is knowledgeable, honest and professional attorney. He thoroughly researched our case, fully explained the legalities of our situation, provided recommendations and an honest assessment of the likely outcome.”
Cons
1
Rigid in fee structure with upfront retainer requirement
“After two phone conversations (less than five minutes each) and a few one sentence emails he expected a $3000 retainer for 10 hours, paid upfront with no discussion of whether or not we should move forward with the case.”
2
Potential challenges in achieving desired outcomes, even with a strong case
“The only reason I did not give five stars is that even though we won some aspects of our case, we did not succeed on any punitive damages. The lack of punitive damages in our case is a sign of a broken justice system and was a kick in the teeth to us and John.”
