California State Bar #29450 — verify this license with the State Bar of California
Five digits.
California State Bar numbers are issued sequentially, and #29450 was issued in 1959 — six years before the firm existed.
Most firms claiming decades of history are claiming the firm's age. This is one attorney's actual license, and anyone can check it in ten seconds.
Background
Lessing Solov founded the firm in 1965, after returning from service in the Army and earning his law degree at Hastings College of the Law in San Francisco. He did his undergraduate work at UCLA.
The premise the firm was started on has not changed: that an injured worker, an immigrant who did not speak English, and a tradesperson whose body had been spent on a California construction site each deserved a lawyer.
In the six decades since, he has handled civil and workers' compensation matters across Southern California.
He remains active in the practice.
