A founding partner at Lipson,
Neilson, Cole, Seltzer and Garin PC
with offices in Troy and Las Vegas, he
practiced business law and was, as Rabbi
Yedwab called him, a "super-lawyer.
Selfless with his time and resources,
he often worked pro-bono cases
because, the rabbi said, "his greatest
pleasure in life truly was helping other
people."
He took on other people's problems
like they were his own," said Mr.
Lipson's niece Risa Heller of
Washington, D.C. "He would do any-
thing for anyone. He left a truly amaz-
ing legacy of how he affected people's
lives."
Rabbi Yedwab called him "the rock,"
the person who could do things every-
one else thought were impossible.
"His determined spirit, combined
with a natural charisma, made him
something special, an incredible man,"
Rabbi Yedwab said.
