The attorneys at the Law Offices Of Meline & Vargas, A.P.C have more than 40 years of experience handling injury claims. Founding partner Steven A. Meline spent 12 years representing worker\u2019s compensation insurance companies where he was able to develop valuable inside knowledge of how worker\u2019s compensation claims are handled. He used that knowledge to found his own firm, representing injured workers, and now helps thousands of clients across California secure sizable compensation packages following a workplace injury. We never let an insurance company get away with paying less than the client deserves.<\/span><\/p>

Today, Mr. Meline and his legal partner, Sean C. Vargas, handle lifting injuries, machine injuries, fall-related injuries, repetitive motion injuries, cumulative trauma injuries, toxic exposure injuries, workplace violence, motor vehicle accidents, and wrongful death. They primarily handle cases in Orange, Los Angeles County, and the Inland Empire, but can remotely handle any case in California. Both Mr. Meline and Mr. Vargas believe that the purpose of an injury case is to serve the injured person by walking them through the workers\u2019 compensation system so they can focus on their recovery. They operate under a client-first model and offer every client a compassionate and dedicated representation. The firm even offers bilingual communication options for clients who prefer to communicate in Spanish. Vietnamese speaking clients can also be accommodated.<\/span><\/p>

If you have been hurt or become ill because of your job, do not hesitate and hire an experienced and dedicated legal team. Let the attorneys at the Law Offices Of Meline & Vargas, A.P.C fight on your behalf so that you can focus on your recovery.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Sean C. Vargas, Attorney<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

I am passionate about helping people who have been hurt at work, to receive every possible benefit available. I have advocated on behalf of thousands of injured workers, handling files from the initial application through trial and appeal. I have also served as a Pro Tem Judge at the WCAB. Call me at 714.542.5544 to discuss your case!<\/p>

Even if you have an attorney and would like a second opinion, feel free to call.<\/p>

Away from court I am married to an incredible wife Virginia, and together we are raising three boys and a girl. We love to attend our local church, surf and participate in anything related to the outdoors. In our downtime, we can be observed fighting over biographies and history books from all periods or watching nature shows, nature-related reality shows, sports, or Dude Perfect.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Steven A. Meline, Founding Attorney<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

I have been given the opportunity to represent injured workers after 12 years representing workers’ compensation insurance companies. I know how they work, think, and evaluate claims. I usually know what they are going to do before they do. I prepare every case for trial making it clear to our opponent that they should do the right thing for our client.<\/p>

I am the father of two beautiful adult children and patiently waiting for grandkids.<\/p>

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.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
