Woolverton Woolverton & Wolsey open new offices in Los Angeles. This firm name is a name change from the Stockwell firm.
By Lonce Lamonte - December 8, 2025
Much remains the same but with renewed energy. Attorney George Woolverton just moved into his new offices around November 16th 2025 at 3415 Sepulveda Boulevard, Suite 1260, in Los Angeles, California 90034.
He also has a new firm name in Woolverton Woolverton & Wolsey. His former name was Stockwell Harris Woolverton & Fox, and that office for many years was at 3580 Wilshire Boulevard on the 19th floor in Los Angeles 90010.
The legal services are essentially the same with workers’ compensation defense, subrogation, civil liability defense and employment and labor law. But one new ambition is to evolve the technology. That’s part of the energy that’s coming along with the new firm’s name.
