LEE SOLOMON, Attorney at Law
Mr. Solomon is an accomplished trial lawyer with an unusual blend of legal knowledge and skill. Whether handling a matter involving accidents or injuries or business litigation matters, he quickly gains the confidence of clients by focusing on understanding and achieving their goals while helping minimize inherent legal risks. Mr. Solomon has assisted individuals as well as domestic and foreign business organizations of all sizes, and in all stages of growth, with their legal needs in Houston and around the nation. His individual clients have been victims and families of victims in accident and injury cases. His business clients have included Fortune 500 companies as well as middle-market and start-up companies, with many of his clients being family-owned or closely held businesses.
In personal injury matters, Mr. Solomon understands that there is more to achieving a successful result in a case than simply preparing for trial. There are often other important issues that should be considered, such as the financial ability of a defendant to pay a settlement or judgment, and the leverage or lack thereof that is a natural consequence of those financial issues. Mr. Solomon is adept at reading and understanding financial statements, but more than that, he understands from his service as Vice President and General Counsel of a large, publicly traded company, how business decision makers may assess the risk and deal with that they face when their company is responsible for causing personal injury or death.
Mr. Solomon also understands that there are also important matters that an accident or injury victim or family must deal with as they go through the grieving process and try to put their lives back together. He is available and willing to help victims and their families when they need someone to lean on.
Clients quickly learn and appreciate that Mr. Solomon is capable of leading trial teams, gathering and assimilating information, analyzing complicated situations, identifying risks and leverage points, and helping develop and implement an action plan to achieve a favorable result. In these endeavors he is backed by a broad range of trial experience, legal and business knowledge and experience, superb writing abilities and oral presentation skills, as well as outstanding academic credentials (graduating first in his class from undergraduate school with a business degree in finance, and graduating second in his class from law school).
