Law Firm Celebrates 87 Years of Service to Palm Beach County and the Treasure Coast. On March 19, 1927, Joseph Lesser was admitted to the Florida Bar and formally began his law practice, which is now known as Lesser, Lesser, Landy & Smith, PLLC, and run by his grandson Gary S. Lesser. Joseph Lesser built the firm on the cornerstone values of honoring clients and the community. The firm’s ideals and mission are still dictated by the young man who came to Palm Beach County from Rome, Georgia to pursue his dreams of a legal career in the Sunshine State. Florida had just experienced a real-estate bust following a significant boom. It was the same year Charles Lindbergh made the first non-stop transatlantic flight from New York to Paris, the cost of a first class stamp was two cents and Babe Ruth became the highest paid baseball player in the country, making $70,000 per year. Today, 87 years later, Lesser, Lesser, Landy & Smith (LLL&S) is one of the oldest law firms in Palm Beach County, with 11 attorneys and almost 30 employees, with 3 office locations helping seriously injured accident victims and their families throughout South Florida. Although Gary S. Lesser, Managing Partner of LLL&S, did not get the opportunity to practice law with his grandfather, his wisdom and influence have shaped the way Gary practices law and manages the firm today. Gary shares the convictions of his grandfather and father and leads by example. He cultivates a company culture where donating time and treasure to charity is as cherished and celebrated as courtroom success. “My grandfather loved being a lawyer,” said his grandson Gary S. Lesser, now the firm’s Managing Partner. “He believed lawyers are supposed to help their clients and help their community. I think it’s that simple, and that’s what our firm believes in today.” The Firm’s lawyers practice in the area of general personal injury and have handled numerous high profile cases of the years including automobile injury, wrongful death, premises liability, malpractice and other related injury cases. Today LLL&S is widely recognized for their leadership in the legal community as well as their dedication to charitable organizations. The attorneys collectively have over 2,000 trials under their belt and are known for their hard work, legal skills, client service and high ethical standards. Lesser, Lesser, Landy & Smith, PLLC and its partners are all “AV” rated by Martindale Hubbell, the highest rating in ethics and legal ability rated by your peers.
