About
I care about my clients as people. Besides aiming to win them an acquittal or the best possible settlement , I work with each client to help minimize the stress one feels when facing criminal charges or having had one's property seized and held by the government. I hugely respect our Bill of Rights, whose wise principles are reinforced every time I can convince a judge that law enforcement violated the Fourth or Fifth Amendment by unlawfully searching or improperly questioning my clients.Besides practicing law, I love tennis, hiking and backpacking (preferably in the company of dogs). Protecting the world's remaining wild places and creatures is a long-standing passion, which has led me to pro bono legal defense of people arrested during environmental protests in Humboldt and Mendocino counties and to serve six years as a Mendocino County planning commissioner.

I was facing a 8+ year sentence. He was able to help reduce it to a 150 day sentence. He also got my camera back and had it waitting for me when i finished my sentence! I've been recommending him to everyone. A. lawyer that is on your side! Thank You Mr. Lipmanson!! Mr. B
Liberty For You is what the license plate on his Prius reads, and I believe it's his motivating factor above all others. Don is a generous and intelligent man, with whom I put my faith in, and was extremely pleased with the outcome. Don is intelligent and respectfull, two qualities I think are very important for a good attorney. I highly recommend him.
We are forever indebted to Don. He brought an expert witness(retired CHP) who was outstanding as well ! He filed a motion for suppression of evidence as my fiancé was pulled over for a vehicle violation for failure to use his blinker. He was able to prove that this was an unlawful pull over and arrest as the officer was profiling. He got the officer to admit this on the stand !!! All charges were dropped as the evidence had to be thrown out. He was caught with 8 lbs of marijuana and got off scott free. He was facing atleast 1 yr in jail and up to 5 yrs. If you are in need of criminal defense lawyer he is your man.
