Steve Meline and Sean Vargas saw me through a tough time... Steve 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. As my case progressed onward, Sean Vargas saw me through to the end. He handled the details of my file, saw me through critical meetings and dealt with relevant parties, all flawlessly. As the insurance company tried to low-ball my claim, Sean stood up, balancing firmness, diplomacy and professionalism, persisting on a more satisfactory and just compensation for my injury. Down-to-earth and compassionate, Sean also saw me through my deposition. As I was a bit tense, Sean sat down with me ahead of time, and more like a friend than just an attorney, helped me understand the process in layman's terms, thus giving me the clarity and confidence I needed, easing my nerves and making it easier to get through my deposition. During the negotiation process, Sean combined excellent judgment, skill, and technical expertise bringing to fruition the maximum benefit we sought. Throughout my case, I've found Sean to be well organized, dedicated and always prepared. 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. All in all, the legal team of Sean Vargas and Steve Meline stood right beside me throughout the whole process of my workers' comp case. With integrity, they put their heart into their work. They believed in me when I was on thin ice and gave me guidance, support, hope and much-needed representation. 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. I'm very pleased and I would recommend them to anyone who's had the unfortunate circumstance of suffering a workplace injury. read more

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, past time limits for filing another claim due to disability that had spread from my original injury. My 2 requirements were a law office that 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! read more

I had lived a quiet life and thought I never needed an attorney, until I got an accident at work 2 years ago. I realized quickly that in an environment where people focus only on productivity and profits, my injury means for them a loss. There were conflicts, and I am voiceless. Luckily I found Steven Meline Law Office on websites and met the attorney Steven Meline in his Office. He is a big tree! I believed him almost immediately. His colleague, Mr. Sean Vargas, took my case. Mr. Sean Vargas helped me throughout the process until my case was closed. He is also great! I don't have enough words to thank my attorneys, Mr. Steven Meline, Mr. Sean Vargas, and all the staff. Later on, when I had difficulties claiming my Supplemental Job Displacement Non-Transferable Voucher, Mr. Sean Vargas showed me again how powerful an attorney is in the field of Workers' Compensation. Money could not fix the damage to one's health, but the way the attorneys work make me feel very grateful. Thank you again, and again, THE LAW OFFICES OF STEVEN A. MELINE. I recommend all of my friends, in case needed, come to the OFFICE and seek their advice. read more

I don't know how to explain myself on paper or when updating my opinion in a review but all I have to say about Steven Meline and staff are good things. We have never used or needed an Attorney before but fortunately I came across this Christian Business Directory and there it was Steven Meline Attorney At Law with the scripture at the bottom of his page - Acts 2:21 So we took a chance, even though it was a little drive but we just felt that the Lord was talking to us. Maria and staff are the best, always kept us up to date with the case as needed. We also want to thank Sean Vargas, Esq. for assisting Steve with the final closing of the case, great team work. It was a very difficult case but my wife and I are very happy with the outcome. Thank you Jesus! Yes! I would definitely recommend Steven Meline & Sean Vargas for their Attorney services read more

I can't thank Mr. Sean Vargas and Mr. Steven Meline enough. I was injured at work and was taken out work for 2 months and a half. I wasn't trying to pursue anything and was content with my employment status. All of a sudden I get a call from my workers comp adjuster wanting to buy me out with a compromise and released (pretty much a lump sum and quit my job). I wasn't happy with their offer so I reached out for guidance and found Mr. Sean Vargas and Mr. Steven Meline. They're we're both honest and told me if they can't beat my original offer from my workers comp adjuster than they'll work on my case at no charge. Within a week of being contacted by their office. I got double my original settlement amount and no resignation. Thank you both Mr Sean Vargas and Mr. Meline. God bless you both!!! read more

A few months back i was injured at work, I filed a Workmans compensation claim and I put in some information regarding my claim online to get assistance/consultation with the process. Immediately, Sean Vargas reached out to me from Law offices of Steven A. Meline and he was extremely informative, explained the process in a very elementary/easy way to understand and promised to work hard on my case and get me the compensation I deserved for my injury. This last week he was able to negotiate (higher) settlement amount with the attorney representing my former employer's insurance company and I will be receiving my check in less than 30 days. If you are hurt/injured at work, you need to call this office and work with Sean Vargas and crew!!....They get you results! Neil S. read more
