No office visit required

I hired Melendez Law Office to represent me in my workers comp case in 5/2018. Jesse Melendrez helped me to the end of my claim, June 2020. During the 2 years working with him and his staff I never needed to visit the law office in person. Jesse and his team made it easy to communicate with the o...ffice by phone, email and/or text messages. Him and his staff were very professional, carrying and knowledgeable about the law. They did their best to helped me understand the processe step by step and were their for me! The best of all is that Jesse did make sure I got the best doctor's care for my injuries and physical therapy care in my area. l would recommend Melendrez Law Office to a friend or family member dealing with a worker's compensation case. Thank you Jesse for the help!

Difficult situation made easier

Initially, I didn't think I needed an attorney for my Workers Compensation case, but I was wrong. I felt as if I was being abused by the insurance company and I wasn't going anywhere to close my case or to get the treatments that I needed. I was at a stand still. Jesse had simplified the procedure... for me and made sure that I my care and treatment were handled in a timely manner. I don't think I could have made it out with my sanity still intact without Jesse's presence. He answered all my questions with clarity and at a level that I could understand. I did not just speak insurance or work comp jargon, but broke down the legal procedures in a way that is reassuring. He is understanding and compassionate about his field and his clients. At least that is how I felt. I did not have to wait days to hear from him. If you need someone knowledgeable in the field of Jesse's expertise, please give him a call. Thanks Jesse for all your help!

Amazing work

Hi I came to Jesse with a workers compensation case in sports. I signed a few papers when I met him at the meeting and he has fixed absolutely everything on the way without me touching a finger almost and he got me a great settlement. More than I expected. Top experience and a very kind man.

I'm very happy to have used Mr. Melendrez's services.

I recently hired Mr. Melendrez for a workers compensation lawsuit I was apart of. I had never done this before,thank goodness I found Mr.Melendrez. He gave me his advice on what the first steps would be and was honest about the outlook on my case. After hiring Mr.Melendrez, he constantly updated me v...ia paper mail and email about my case. Mr. Melendrez quickly responded to all calls and emails from me. A deposition was required in my case. I was terrified. Mr.Melendrez explained the process to me and after doing so,I felt more confident going into it. It went smooth.Also Mr.Melendrez flew to my area for the deposition and was on time. I was required to see multiple doctors during the case. Mr.Melendrez made sure reminders and all necessary information was sent to me at least a week ahead of time. Mr.Melendrez then kept me updated with the paper work and communication after the doctor appointments. I felt very informed during my case. He took the time to explain procedures and answer any concerns I had throughout the entire case. With Mr. Melendrez's services I was able to reach a settlement in my case that I was very satisfied with. I would recommend Mr. Melendrez to any of my family and friends if they needed the services he offers.

I called the perfect attorney for my case.

My case was an uphill battle from the start but Jesse was able to see my case through all of the hurdles and challenges and settle it favorably. I’m extremely grateful he represented me! There are angels among us who help us in the toughest times of need and Jesse is one of them! Thank you. Thank you.... Thank you, sir. - E. Hayes

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."
