STEVE & SEAN: THE ATTORNEYS FOR INJURED WORKERS
1000'S OF FAMILIES
HAVE CHOSEN US
Work comp is all we do, and we are ready and eager to represent you!
what we do for you and your family
We have handled thousands of worker’ compensation cases, getting medical treatment, money and retraining for our clients! Workers compensation is not a lawsuit against an employer; rather, it is an application for benefits against their workers compensation insurance company within the jurisdiction of the workers’ compensation appeals board. All employer’s must have workers’ compensation insurance to cover your injuries on the job. If they don’t, they are subject to a civil lawsuit where negligence is presumed! We aren’t happy to hear when work injuries occur, but we are ready to help when they do.
Steve & Sean have a combined 60 years experience exclusively focused on workers compensation law. They would write the law very differently if it was up to them, but they are as experienced as almost anyone you can find in navigating the current California Labor Code in order to get workers compensation benefits.
Not all injuries are the same, but the way to benefits always start with the treating physicians. Many injured workers are getting ignored or ‘herded’ through the system by clinics like Concentra, ProCare, Kaiser on the job, and others. Let us take control of your treatment and recovery!
We have made headlines with some of the State’s biggest work comp settlements, like $3,000,000 lump sum for a client, and 100% permanent total disability awards for others (the highest possible result in work comp through court), but our first goal is always to help assist our client’s recover so they can get back to being healthy and productive.
Steve Meline
I have been given the opportunity to represent injured workers after 12 years representing workers compensation insurance companies. We know how they work, think, and evaluate claims. We usually know what they are going to do before they do. We prepare every case for trial making it clear to our opponent that they should do the right thing for our clients.
I am the father of two beautiful adult children and patiently waiting for grandkids. Widowed in 2016, I am now spoiled by my dear new wife Karen. We are part of Calvary Chapel Pacific Hills in Laguna Hills. I am also a part of the Christian Legal Society of which I was the Orange County president for 10 years. Interests and activities include fishing, hunting, skiing and working on an old MG sports car.

Do You
Have A Case?
The first question our clients always ask is, “Do I have a case?”. If you are injured at work, then you have a case. Period. Corporations and insurance companies will do everything in their power to minimize the benefits you receive. You need a dedicated attorney on your side who will push those insurance companies to provide the benefits available to you. Our legal team can make that happen.
Call today with the details of your situation; we can advise you on the next steps and start working towards a resolution that benefits you.
For Worker’s compensation
We Maximize Your recovery
If you are injured at work, then you have a case. Your employer and their insurance will do their best to pay you the least amount possible.
In contrast, we will do everything under the Labor Code to maximize your benefits. Corporations have deep pockets and attorneys working in their best interests. You should too! Call Steve & Sean
