Highly recommended

My friend recommended Mr. Meline to me, after he had a good experience and result with his Workers Compensation case. My case has also been resolved now and I am very satisfied. I found Mr. Meline to be very sincere and I truly believe he had my best interest at heart. He also was very kind and respe...ctful, which really meant a lot to me after going through the worker compensation experience. I highly recommend him.

Wonderful Attorney - Worker's Compensation

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.

Does not return phone calls!!

Originally referred by the OC Bar. This gentleman started my case all gung ho and ready to take them to court if need be. Two years later after numerous imcompetent events in this case (QME doctor completely missed the main injury), we are "settling" for a low amount and he is not even returning call...s as I am still waiting for something to finalize more than 30 days after signing the settlement agreement. The defendant sent a letter two weeks ago saying they had already stopped disability payments (how I was paying the mortgage and bills) as soon as they "heard" about a settlement being reached. A month later I am broke, not able to pay any bills, and my attorney hasn't returned any of my calls in 2.5 weeks. Going down in a financial ball of flames due to legal imcompetence and extremely poor representation. Not good and not acceptable. 24 hours from now I will return to the OC Bar and update them on this referral and ask for their advice. I will uodate this review as needed.

Steven Meline

Replied last October 27, 2023

I am surprised by Bradley's unexpected representations. This gentleman unfortunately suffers from a rare condition which made Brad vulnerable to a certain cumulative trauma and defined his treatment needs. The Primary Treating Doctor I hand-picked for Brad "got it" and fully expressed his Permanent Disability and future medical care entitlement accordingly. As Brad points out, the QME didn't agree with this assessment. I successfully secured a settlement offer based on our treating doctor. I offered to take the deposition of the QME to argue for and present our perspective. Brad however preferred to take the larger than usual settlement I got for him and get on with his life. The carrier then exercised their option to interrupt his permanent disability advances during the 30 day pendency of the settlement. Brad's calls were promptly returned by my assistant with offers of help. I believe the settlement check was in Bradley's mail box by the time he posted the above review. I want the best for Brad. After handling thousands of cases, at the conclusion of each and every one, I only wish I could do more for all my clients in this horribly unfair California Workers Compensation system, and I will do all I can for you.

THANK YOU!

From the moment I first talked to Mr. Meline I knew my case was in good hands. He immediately gave me realistic expectations and put my mind at ease so I could begin the process of healing. He handled everything. He walked me through everything. His staff was responsive and very helpful and kind.... Maria and Karen were always able to answer questions no matter how small. I appreciate them so much. Thank you!
