SOLOMON, SALTSMAN & JAMIESON is a practice comprised of passionate, dynamic, successful lawyers who defy the common image of the practice of law. They are distinguished by their enthusiasm and their innovative approach to prevail over legal obstacles. For almost 40 years, their unique approach has fueled the synergy of the firm, promoted successful collaborative outcomes, and ignited the gusto that has become their trademark. 

They host “Legal Help Live,” a long running, highly rated television show (previously on KRLA Radio).

This is the sixth consecutive year that their peers have nominated the three founding partners to Super Lawyers; and their newest partner, Bruce Evans, was again recognized in Rising Stars. Since the 1970s, Solomon, Saltsman & Jamieson has been the recognized standard-bearer in obtaining and retaining alcohol licenses for all types of on- and off-site alcohol sellers, as well as practice areas including administrative law, Indian gaming and entertainment, civil litigation, business litigation, serious personal injury matters, government relations and land use planning. They also represent various tribal communities in establishing their rights to the many uses of their land. They have secured many multimillion-dollar verdicts and settlements, including a $35 million trial verdict against the State of California and a recent precedent-setting decision in the California Supreme Court on Administrative Law. 

Cases accepted range from serious personal injury matters with bodily injury including paralysis, amputation or brain injury, to corporate and business litigation such as shareholder derivative actions, fraudulent real estate actions, and partnership disputes.

Solomon, Saltsman & Jamieson has been successful in settlement and trial verdicts that range from several hundred thousand dollars to 35 million dollars. STEPHEN JAMIESON and STEPHEN SOLOMON have settled or tried cases for an aggregate amount of over 50 million dollars for their plaintiff clients. Where Solomon, Saltsman & Jamieson defends cases, the results are similarly impressive. Whether on Plaintiff's side or Defendant's side, our hard work, strategic planning and innovative thinking make our clients successful.

In November 2006 this firm won the landmark case in the California Supreme Court, Department v. Appeals Board (Quintanar). Now the ABC has been forced to dismiss 112 pending disciplinary cases defended by Solomon Saltsman & Jamieson. The Supreme Court unanimously agreed with Ralph B. Saltsman’s argument that when ABC prosecutors communicated secretly with the Director concerning their cases, the Department violated state law.

TRIALS: 55 YEAR OLD BUS DRIVER WINS $2,247,000 PLUS ATTORNEYS FEES AND COSTS IN DISABILITY DISCRIMINATION LAWSUIT
