About Us

Lippman, Semsker & Salb, LLC

Protecting You. Protecting Your Family. Since 1972.

Since our founding in 1972, Lippman, Semsker & Salb has developed a tradition of excellence in the practice of law. Our Firm provides the legal services that families and smaller businesses need most often. We provide legal services in the following areas:

Wills, Trusts, Estates & Probate

We have a robust practice helping families care for their loved ones, friends, and charitable interests. Drawing from a deep well of experience, we are well-equipped to advise and educate our clients. Our estate planning practice differs from most others in several key ways. First, we ordinarily bill our clients with flat fees, so that our clients can feel free to communicate with us without fear that it will bloat the invoice. Second, we serve clients along the full spectrum, from individuals with very modest assets and simple affairs to large families with high net worth and complex needs. Regardless of our client's needs, though, the level of our service remains stellar.
