Meet the Attorneys at Solov & Teitell

Decades of California workers' compensation and personal injury experience — and a firm small enough that the lawyer you meet is the lawyer who handles your case.

Lessing Solov

Founding Attorney

Lessing Solov graduated from the University of California, Los Angeles, and then joined the United States Army. After his service, he attended Hastings College of the Law in San Francisco, one of the oldest law schools in the western United States. He founded the firm that became Solov & Teitell in 1965 and has been practicing law in California for more than half a century.

Attorney Solov has handled countless civil and workers' compensation cases across Southern California. His practice spans the entire arc of California workers' compensation law, from the pre-reform statutes of the 1970s through SB 899, SB 863, and the modern compensation system. That depth of institutional knowledge is something almost no firm in Los Angeles can match.

How we work — together

Solov & Teitell is a small firm by design. When you sign with us, you are not handed off to a paralegal pool or a rotating cast of "case managers." You meet the attorney who will be representing you, and that attorney remains the point of contact through every hearing, settlement conference, and benefit dispute that comes up in your case. That is unusual in California workers' comp, and it is intentional.

It is also why our Spanish-speaking and Korean-speaking clients almost always come to us through word-of-mouth. Multilingual representation in this firm does not mean "we have a translator on call" — it means the lawyer reviewing your medical records and arguing your case at the WCAB speaks your language directly.
