Firm History and Goals
Mr. Lippe began practicing law in 1982 with the firm of Bronson, Bronson & McKinnon, and environmental law in 1985 with the firm of Pillsbury & Wilson. In 1987, Mr. Lippe successfully represented the Environmental Protection Information Center at trial in the first lawsuit challenging the California Department of Forestry’s approval of Pacific Lumber Company Timber Harvest Plans after Maxxam, Inc. acquired Pacific Lumber.
In 1988, Mr. Lippe formed the partnership of Towner & Lippe to practice public interest environmental law. In 1994, Mr. Lippe formed the Law Offices of Thomas N. Lippe to continue this practice.
The Law Offices of Thomas N. Lippe, APC, specializes in environmental law, including land use, timber, water rights and water pollution, coastal resources, endangered species, landslide, flooding, and unlawful business practices relating to the environment.
