Expectations exceeded...

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.

Awesome

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.

Very Highly Recommended

I worked for a company for almost 22 years and when I resig!rom from the company, I encountered symptoms regarding my back and other parts of my body. At first I was skeptical about doing anything about it but I found Steve's website and set up a consultation to see what options if any I may have sin...ce I had not reported any injury to company personnel before my resignation. After my consutation with Steve, he was very understanding and assured me that I had legal rights to go forward with litigation to make sure that I receive proper medical treatment and hopefully some type of monetary compensation to help me get back on my feet. Without Steve's help, I don't think I would have received all the medical attention that I did and a very fair settlement that he fought very hard for me to receive. I highly recommend Mr. Steve Meline to anyone looking for a WC attorney. Very nice office personell working for him that are always there to answer any questions you may have. Thanks Steve

A perfect storm

Mr. Meline took my case in 2001, I had injured myself at work and tried to wait before reporting to see if the injury would rectify itself. When I came to him it was already too late to open a new claim, and the insurance company dug it's heels in, so I couldn't receive any medical assistance. Due to... his understanding of the law, and his incredible negotiating skills, the insurance company chose to settle with a buy out, which helped me may the medical bills that I had built up. This man's compassion, humility, understanding of law, shrewdness and confidence combines to create a very effective tool to help you achieve the best possible outcome from an otherwise unfriendly system. More recently I had another claim that was a re-injury to an existing problem. I didn't feel that it was fair to rake them over the coals over something that didn't fully belong to them. The insurance company was being quite cooperative and I only wanted them to provide the medical care needed to recover. Mr. Meline was still available to me to assist through the process. His drive comes from wanting to help people, not profit. This I feel is what makes him the perfect man for the job, his drive is altruistic, and he appears to trust that it will all work out in the end. This faith is the beauty of his success.
