Born and raised in Baltimore, Mr. Lipman currently lives in North Baltimore.

“The interests of a client should align with those of his or her attorney to the greatest extent possible. Unfortunately, such is not always true: a client’s incentive to maximize his or her monetary recovery diverges from that of an attorney charging billable hours IF that unscrupulous, but perhaps otherwise ethical, attorney is intent on maximizing the number of hours billed. Conversely, the collections lawyer charging on a contingency basis turns a profit only when the client prevails by settlement or at trial.

Unglamorous and often maligned, the practice of collections law is an honest and righteous endeavor, when practiced with integrity. The effective collections lawyer methodically engages the levers of law with zeal to recover what is rightfully owed to responsible creditor while remaining sensitive to the plight of debtors and cognizant of his duties as an officer of the Court. In work as in life, it is values such as tenacity, humility, diligence, and good will that lead to repeated success.”
