THE SHORT ANSWER
This is attorney advertising, nothing on it is legal advice, and reading it or writing to us does not make this firm your lawyer. That happens when a conflict check clears and both sides sign something.
On this page
This is attorney advertising
This website is a communication about legal services from the Law Offices of Solov & Teitell, APC, and it is subject to the California Rules of Professional Conduct and to Business and Professions Code §§ 6157–6159.2.
The firm is located at 1625 W. Olympic Blvd., Suite 802, Los Angeles, CA 90015, and the attorney responsible for this site’s content is Jamey Teitell.
Using this site does not make us your lawyers
No attorney-client relationship is created by:
- reading anything on this site
- submitting the contact form
- sending us an email
- leaving us a voicemail
It is created when — and only when — this firm has run a conflict check and both you and the firm have signed a written fee agreement.
Until that happens, we are not your lawyers and we are not acting on your behalf. Nothing here should be relied on as though we were.
Do not send confidential information yet
Anything you send before we have a signed agreement may not be confidential.
In some circumstances, sending case details to a firm that turns out to represent an adverse party can create a conflict that stops that firm from helping you.
Send enough to be contacted.
Keep the rest for the conversation.
This is standard, and it protects you more than it protects us.
Nothing here is legal advice
Everything on this site is general information about California workers’ compensation and personal injury law. It is written carefully, it is cited to statute and case law, and it is reviewed — and it is still not advice about your case.
Your case turns on facts this site does not know:
- your date of injuryDate of injury For a cumulative or occupational disease claim, the law sets it as when you first suffered disability and knew or should have known it was work-related — not when the wear began. Almost every deadline runs off this.
- your earnings
- your medical evidence
- your work restrictions
- what your employer’s carrier has already done
- and what the applicable law was on the day you were hurt
The law also changes, and a page that was right when it was written can be wrong later. Each page carries a last-reviewed date so you can see how current it is.
If a deadline might be running, do not rely on a website. Call someone.

Past results do not guarantee or predict a similar outcome in any other case.
The result portrayed in this advertisement was dependent on the facts of that case, and the results will differ if based on different facts.
Fees
No fee unless we recover. You are not responsible for costs we advance if there is no recovery. In California workers’ compensation, the fee is set by a workers’ compensation judgeWCJ Workers’ Compensation Judge. Decides your case. There is no jury., not by the firm — see what a lawyer costs for how that actually works.
What this site covers, and what it does not
This site describes California law. It does not describe the law of any other state, and it does not cover federal systems — the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act, FECA, or the Jones Act — except where a page says so explicitly.
Do not use these pages for a claim outside California.
