It is an unfortunate fact of corporate life that litigation, whether before State or Federal administrative agencies, in State or Federal Courts, or before arbitration tribunals, is sometimes necessary. The Law Offices of Lippe & Associates brings decades of experience before such tribunals to its clients in order to represent their interests. While the firm seldom counsels its clients to be the aggressors in dealing with State Departments of Insurance or CMS, because today's insulted and offended regulator is tomorrow's problem and a potential antagonist, or in dealing with consumers, having counsel with the necessary experience and expertise to represent the Provider with competent advice, and being available to pursue available means of legal action, is indispensable.
