Steven Allan Meline

I needed an attorney to take on Keenan and Associates, well known for their history of deny and force settlement.  I also had an old case, original injury 2007, past time limits for filing another claim due to disability that had spread from my original injury.   My 2 requirements were a law office t...hat was Christian based and had successfully fought and won against Keenan and Associates. I found that with Mr. Steve Meline and Mr. Sean Vargas.  The staff at their office was always courteous, and I truly did call alot for status.  They helped me to understand the laws and what to expect.  Mr. Meline came up with a way to put pressure on Keenan and to help create the environment to want to settle in my favor,  while Mr. Sean Vargas was at all the hearings,  deposition and an awesome negotiator! An appeal was submitted to the State Work comp board by their office and the State overturned the previous denials that the Dr's office couldn't even get done.  I knew exactly what was happening,  what to expect and the outcome was amazing! Due to their experience,  they are familiar with high ranking Corporate Attorneys, and  knew just how to work with them on my behalf.  We just settled and we are thrilled to be out of the work comp fiasco so I can finally get the right care by my Dr for CRPS. CRPS is hard to prove and very debilitating and painful.  We always ended discussions with prayer for the right outcome and our prayers were answered.  If you want experienced,  competent, knowledgeable attorneys,  with the added grace of true faith in doing the right thing,  I highly recommend their office! I can't thank them enough for what is an extraordinary settlement!  They not only express their Christian values freely with you if you make your shared faith known to them,  but also are involved in the community as volunteers.  All glory to God for such an extraordinary team of Professionals!

Steve Meline saw there was hope for me in my situation even though I was concerned about factors and challenges regarding my circumstances. About four months after injuring my back at work, not being able to work, still having lower back pain, and running low on savings, I realized I needed help. ...It was a timely blessing learning about Steve's law firm through an ad playing on KWVE radio. I called for an appointment and Steve met with me later that same day. Though nervous at first not knowing what was before me, Steve set me at ease making me feel comfortable and welcome; I was greeted with compassion, sincerity and professionalism. As I presented details, Steve listened intently taking copious notes. With truth and honesty prevailing, I was pleased to hear he would take my case. Soon after, I was sent to see a much-needed doctor for the first time and thus began my journey towards recovery and restitution. All told, the legal team of Steve Meline and Sean Vargas believed in me and stood with me through to the end. In my time of need, they gave me hope, support, and the much-needed representation I desperately needed. The office staff performed tremendously behind-the-scenes, as well. Samantha and Maria, handled all my necessary paperwork in such efficient manner and whenever I had a question or concern, they took time with me, never leaving me feeling rushed and always being pleasant and accommodating. Now, having gone full circle, my case has finally settled. In the end, the team of Meline & Vargas were able to obtain a maximum settlement for my injury. I'm very thankful and now I'm able to get my life up and going again. I know I made the right choice being represented by Steve Meline & Sean Vargas and I would recommend them to anyone who's had the unfortunate circumstance of suffering a workplace injury.

I incurred a work injury (herniated disc in my neck) in 2013 and initially worked directly with my company's Safety department, medical provider and insurance company. The pain was excruciating but I continued working almost full time. Having never experienced a work injury, I quickly discovered th...at the Worker's Compensation system is not dedicated to the well-being of the employee but, instead, on claim/expense mitigation. I tried working through "the system" for three months and finally could not continue due to the physical pain combined with the stress of trying to get appropriate care. That's when I was referred to Mr. Meline. What a blessing! He spent time on the phone explaining the whole process and I easily understood why it is prudent for employees to have representation. He and his staff "took over" and relieved me of the stress of fighting the insurance company. Ultimately, I received the pain management regime that took away the pain (still pain free after 3+ years without surgery). All I wanted was to receive appropriate medical care and was not looking for or expecting a settlement but Mr. Meline explained that insurance companies do not want to pay for lifetime care - they want to "get rid of the problem" by settling the claim. In the end, he negotiated an amazing settlement. Personally and professionally, he is a very kind, gentle, caring, genuine and skilled attorney that has your best interest as his focus. I cannot imagine trying to navigate the insane world of Worker's Comp. without him. I recommend Mr. Meline without reservation.

Steven did everything he could to get me the best settlement, and fought for me even though the system is really not favorable for the claimant. He was very helpful, always answered my questions, and treated me with respect. I would definitely recommend Steven for any worker's comp claim anyone might... have.

I would like to thank Mr Stefve Meline and his staff for all there help. Karen and Maria are very professional and they always returned my phone calls with an answer to my questions. I remember before each deposition we would say a prayer together, and thank you for paying for my parking ticket. I wo...uld use them again. Thank You Wally Hicks
