For over thirty years, Lesser & Associates has been providing aggressive representation for individuals and businesses throughout the united States and abroad. While the main emphasis of the firm has been based on the defense of commercial and recreational diving claims against industry members, the attorneys in the firm have a long and successful history in both the defense and prosecution of virtually all types of liability claims in many fields. Mr. Lesser, a four-time Southern California Super Lawyer, not only received the National Law Journal Top Defense Verdict of the Year for 2004 but he has obtained multi-million dollar verdicts and settlements for injured plaintiffs. Mr. McGuire, an experienced trial lawyer who was selected as a 2007 Southern California Rising Star, has tried numerous cases to verdict achieving successful results for plaintiffs and defendants alike.

With offices currently in California, Hawaii and Florida, the firm is ideally located to deal with virtually all types of injury claims, particularly water related. Additionally, the attorneys are admitted to practice in five states, can be admitted into Federal Court anywhere, and have extensive contacts with firms in many other states, so they are regularly admitted on a pro hac vice basis in many other jurisdictions at a minimal cost. Finally, the firm has an extremely high success rate in matters taken to trial. The firm’s members are masterful trial attorneys, and have successfully litigated many death, brain damage, and other serious injury claims before juries on multiple occasions. Further, no successful appeal has ever been taken from any of the jury verdicts received by the firm.
