Known for his successful outcomes and driven by a passion for helping plaintiffs achieve justice, he has been immersed in civil litigation for them even before his formal legal education began.

With a profound commitment to his craft, Mr. Teiman is adept at navigating diverse legal challenges, ensuring optimal outcomes for his clients. His case history spans elder abuse, government claims, insurance disputes and consumer class actions. An Orange County and Huntington Beach resident for over 20 years, he is grateful for the opportunity to serve the community he calls home.

Mr. Teiman’s educational path began with a bachelor's degree from California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, in 2006, followed by a transformative seven-week backpacking journey across Europe, expanding his empathy and global perspective. Initially setting his sights on a teaching career after earning a master's degree in education from National University in 2011, his aspirations shifted towards the legal field, propelling him to the Loyola Marymount University Law School, where he graduated with a J.D. in 2017.

While at law school, Mr. Teiman immersed himself in numerous activities and internships that honed his legal understanding, including the Center for Conflict Resolution, the Young Lawyers Program and the Human Rights Clinic, among others. His pre-law school years were spent gaining valuable experience at a bankruptcy law firm in Orange County, where he discovered his zeal for litigation, prompting a shift to a prominent Los Angeles law firm.

Mr. Teiman’s professional ethos was shaped early on while working at a 40s-style diner chain for over a decade, where he honed his customer service and prioritization skills. Today, he stands as a respected figure in the legal field, actively involved in multiple legal organizations such as:

• The Orange County Bar Association
• The Los Angeles County Bar Association

• The Consumer Attorneys of California (CAOC)
• The American Association for Justice

Furthermore, Mr. Teiman contributes to the legal community through his involvement with the Loyola Law School Orange County Alumni Council, authoring articles for the CAOC Forum magazine, engaging in appellate work and holding certifications to practice in California and before the United States District Court for the Central District of California and the United States Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit.
