Welcome to Grossman Ripps & Albert

Grossman Ripps & Albert offers its clients the benefit of nearly 70 years of collective experience working in the law, combined with a forward-thinking approach. Dan Grossman began practicing law in the Upper Valley region of Vermont and New Hampshire in 1980 — and started his own practice in 1982. Markell Ripps joined him in that practice in 2010, and a few years later they formally joined forces as Grossman & Ripps. They were joined by Cara Albert in 2017 and by Chris Burgess in 2021. The firm, which also employs four experienced paralegals, was renamed Grossman Ripps & Albert in 2021.

Dan Grossman retired from the practice of law in 2023, and the other three lawyers are committed to continuing to serve the firm’s clients by practicing together at the same location on River Road in Norwich, Vt.

Since its establishment, the practice has specialized in the following areas:
  • Real Estate Transactions: Title searches and title insurance for clients buying, selling, and refinancing property.
  • Real Estate Services: Closing and settlement services for mortgage brokers, banks, and other lenders.
  • Estate Planning Services: Wills, trusts, and powers of attorney for clients in the middle class.
  • Estate Administration Services: Probate of non-adversarial estates.
  • Small Business Law: Representation for limited liability companies in relation to real estate transactions.
