BIO

Ace Lipton, our principal attorney, has been practicing law in San Francisco since 1978. Originally from Hackensack, New Jersey, Ace is a graduate of Cal-State Hayward and the University of California’s Hastings College of the Law. His practice emphasizes representation of restaurants and bars (sale of business, Alcoholic Beverage Control problems, commercial leases), Criminal Defense (DUIs, drug cases, assaults).

 

Ace has been an owner of small bars and restaurants. He understands how obnoxious and difficult the legal system seems to local bar and restaurant operators. His practice is sensitive to the concerns of the everyday person who is often unable to afford justice. So, he strives to control litigation costs and fees, to keep  the cure from becoming worse than the disease.

 

A long-time player with the Hastings Rugby Club, his current spare time diversions center on the SF Giants and his work as a part-time minister of The Interfaith Circle, promoting Inter-religious understanding and ministering to the spiritually disenfranchised.
