Helped where I was ignored!

I had a workplace injury, a common theme with the workload I had and about 8 months of being injured with few doctor appointments and a set number of PT that ran out the first three weeks, I was sent to do another job and flat out ignored as it caused me sharp pain and no one was willing to listen an...d change my work limits in a timely manner. If I left, I’d be blamed. If I kept working at their rate, my injury would get worse so I turned to Jesse who’d been recommended and for good reason. He was quickly reaching out, getting into contact with those that had been ignoring me and I received better attention and care though if I’d sought his help sooner, might’ve gotten better doctors. Even if I couldn’t reach him directly, it was only a day or two before I’d hear back from him or the team who was equally useful and attentive. I’m not sure how well things ended since I wanted to finish it all and move on but there’s no doubt he was willing to fight and be heard where his clients are ignored. Very thankful he took my case and managed a settlement!

Jesse Melendrez is Top Notch!!! One of the Best Attorneys in California!!!

I was very pleased with the way Jesse Melendrez represented me in my worker’s compensation case. I was previously represented by PLBSH Law Offices of Perona Langer Beck Serbian and Harrison attorney who did not do anything for me and caused so much frustration and major delays. They never returned ...calls or emails and gave no updates at all. They did not respond timely to court documents and it almost cost me. I hired Jesse Melendrez Law Office and he had to clean up their mess they made. He is great at responding and communicating either if it’s a phone call or by email. He will have his assistant return your call if he can’t speak to you but will never leave you hanging. He’s is very knowledgeable in worker’s compensation law and very professional, has good attitude, good listener and truly cares about his clients. I highly recommend Jesse Melendrez ESQ to anyone looking for representation in worker’s compensation case. You will be pleased with Jesse Melendrez representation! He will fight for you!!! Thank you Jesse for your help with my case!!!

Very helpful and professional!

Mr. Melendrez helped close a very difficult case where the insurance company threw many obstacles to prevent and deny my pay and treatment. He went to work to ensure I have my treatment and pay that I was owed despite how horrible the insurance company was. He was always responsive and kept me in th...e loop regarding my case. I would recommend Mr. Melendrez and his team!

Amazing and extremely knowledgeable in his work.

Jesse was able to do alot more than I would have guessed for my case. He was also very responsive, polite, and came across as very confident and established in his work.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I'm happy to be the first to comment about Mr. Melendrez as a lawyer. We worked together on several matters, and attorneys, judges, and clients know he has a big heart. I know Mr. Melendrez is one of the most dedicated lawyers you can find in Southern California. If he had a catch phrase, it should probably say something amazing, but he is much too humble."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
