Mark Lipinski, a private defense attorney known as a pillar of the community in Bradenton, was found dead in his home Thursday morning. He was 65.
Lipinski, originally from Chicago, opened his private practice in Bradenton in 1990 and has since defended a wide range of cases.
One of Pratt’s favorite stories about Lipinski, recalled by others as well, was from one of the first criminal cases in which Pratt sat second chair to Lipinski in court in the 1980s.
But it was his fond memories of the Christmas party that Lipinski used to throw with long-time friend Vincent M. Lucente that Brodsky said showed him how big a heart the defense attorney had.
And all in the legal community were welcome at Lipinski’s party, eventually growing so large it had to be held at the Bradenton City Auditorium.
And that was because Lipinski, he said, knew the art in the practice of law.
Lipinski helped many other defense attorneys who were just getting their private practice started over the years. Often there would be two or three vacant offices in the second floor of their office building, Guy said, and Lipinski would let attorneys starting out stay there rent-free.
