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 do right by you and offer the compensation that you deserve. 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.
