Mr Steven Vargas is the most upstanding, loyal, kind-hearted, and compassionate attorney, that I have ever met. Not only is he God-fearing and humble, he isn't only money-driven, by what society sets as the norm. He is helpful and genuinely cares about each situation at hand. He is well respected and highly respected by his peers in all of the Southern California courthouses by district attorney's, and Judges, alike. He is the most charming man that I have ever met. My role-model in a sense!! Thank you so much Steven Vargas for being awesome and for being you! Your friend, Christina Shipley

Stephen A Varga was my attorney for my case and not knowing the outcome left me confused and needing someone who can help me in the best way possible. Someone i can trust. From the beginning until the very end, he’s guided me with his knowledge and skill and has helped me get through this without doubts of being unprepared. He answered all my questions, concerns, and kept me updated throughout the process. I was not left in the dark. I highly recommend him to anyone who’s going through the process of needing a professional attorney to represent you. Thank you for your time and I appreciate all you’ve done for me by helping me get through this.

When I faced the daunting task of navigating through my workers’ compensation claim, I was fortunate enough to have Andrea Herman by my side. Her expertise and compassionate approach made all the difference. From the initial consultation to the final resolution, Andrea Herman was there to ensure my rights were protected and my concerns addressed. Her responsiveness and attention to detail stood out, providing me with peace of mind during a stressful time. Thanks to Andrea, I received the compensation I deserved, and I couldn’t be more grateful for her dedicated service. Highly recommended for anyone in need of a workers’ comp champion!

If you need representation for any Longshore case please contact Andrea Herman! She works for your treatment and works hard to get you a fair settlement. It’s hard to find an attorney that knows the longshore industry but Andrea is extremely knowledgeable and is willing to let you know what your rights are. Any hiccups we experienced in treatment she was there to make sure the treatment was done timely. I admired her work ethic the most and her caring nature!

My husband passed from Covid which he contracted at a business Conference. In California, if a spouse passes due to a Worker’s Compensation injury… The surviving spouse receives $250,000 from the board if the spouse makes less than 30,000 a year! I did not meet the income requirement And therefore did not automatically receive the death benefit. Attorney More negotiated a settlement with the insurance company's attorney. Without Attorney More I would’ve received nothing. Attorney More is a very passionate and considerate man who stands up and fights for what is right!

Look no further. I was in need of an attorney when my Workers Compensation denied my case twice. I was frustrated and worried. Thankfully my wife heard an advertisement on a Christian radio station and she saved the contact information. I set an appointment and brought in all my paperwork I had been saving. Then the process began. They started to do what they needed to do. I was assigned a new Dr. for my work injury and the Workers Compensation accepted the claim. I got my surgery and physical therapy. And now my settlement closed. I want to thank everyone at the Law Offices of Steven A. Meline for helping me out. Above and beyond! Very professional Law office!! I thank God for leading me here. Please consider this Law firm for any of your Work related injuries. God bless this office!!! Thank you!!! Thank you!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!

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,  initial injury in 2007, 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,  and Mr. Sean Vargas took it from there, 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,  both are familiar with high ranking Corporate Attorneys, and  Sean Vargas 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 individually and as a team! This was truly a blessing!

Hello, some context, I received my graduate degree from Harvard University with a concentration in Legal Studies. I also completed legal coursework at various institutions in the world, including The University of Chicago and The London School of Economics & Political Science. In addition, I served as an expert witness in high profile civil litigation cases. Lastly and most relevant, is that I served as a law clerk for almost 1 year, for a Circuit Court District Judge, specifically in the Family Law/Domestic relations division where I observed over 900 cases across 336 hours in the courtroom. As a result of my academic and professional experiences, I am confident to state that I know much of family law, integrity, truth and unlawful behavior. What some negative review writers are attempting to do, is to mar the reputation of one of the most respected law firms in the world; a law firm, which I respect deeply, a firm which continues to be recommended by top family law attorneys as well as other clients seeking representation in complex family law matters. Stegmeier, Gelbart, Schwartz & Benavente, LLP has provided me invaluable and objective representation, and I firmly believe that they will continue to do so. My experience with Stegmeier, Gelbart, Schwartz & Benavente, LLP has been nothing short of extraordinary and I continue to endorse this firm.

I certainly could have waited to write this review until the lawsuit I'm involved in has wrapped up (I'm a defendant). Hopefully that will be in the next couple of months. But I feel compelled to say something at this point because I want to acknowledge that the way Attorney Moss handles things, the way his mind works, and the way things are explained to me, has helped keep my stress level down, and has greatly abated the angst I feel as my court date approaches, three years into a law suit that I should never have been included in. I know that I am in incredibly competent hands with Attorney Moss. But I wanted other people to know that how you're treated during the process makes all the difference.

She was extremely patient and her attention to detail was amazing. I appreciated that she was always very responsive and never made me feel like I was “bugging”, and instead encouraged me to ask any and all questions that came to mind. She also definitely has the level of energy needed to help with trust planning! I was intimated by the process originally, but she made it an easy process.

I could not have been more pleased with the work they did for me, and the results. Dennis and his associates had to follow many paper trails and deal with J&J attorneys that made this particular case a miasma of processes to figure out. I am SO glad I did not make a "class action" choice. Dennis was quite accessible and the lengthy process was always fully explained. It took time but was ultimately worth it.

Ryan is a great lawyer. He is very detailed and knowledgeable of the law, and he always keeps you updated about your case and patiently listens to all of your questions and concerns. Knowing that I was being represented by someone who would unquestionably fight for you until the case is won gave me such comfort. Most importantly, he genuinely cares about helping his clients.

I am a physician with work injury and was extremely hesitant to hire an attorney. I made a series of mistakes including self selected a QME physician who refuted the findings of three other physicians (one being a respected orthopedist) and told me my injury was not work related. My case was free falling off a cliff since a QME physician had made an unfavorable decision. No good lawyer wanted to tackle it. Fortunately, Ryan did an amazing job and saved my case. More importantly, he helped me connect with a trustworthy physician to maximize my recovery. He is an outstanding lawyer with integrity. Above all, an ethical person. I waited until my case was completed before writing this review to give an honest assessment…3 years. I am grateful to Ryan and would recommend him without hesitation.

My husband and I met with Ryan to evaluate and update the Living Trust we executed years ago with an on-line service. We are very glad we did! Ryan was able to quickly summarize the changes we needed to make and suggested additional steps we should take to finalize our estate plan. From beginning to end, Ryan is highly professional and trustworthy. No gimmicks, pressure or uncomfortableness. Highly recommend!

My workers comp case involved many labor hours to conclude, and Mr. Rosenbaum worked tirelessly and endlessly to ensure I was compensated for a life-changing injury. My case involved two different companies, so there was a lot of finger-pointing as to who was to blame for my work injury. John never waivered with my case, and we were triumphant in the end. When all was said and done, John had over 15 huge boxes of paperwork for my case, which, to me, proved the man simply didn't give up. He stayed the course, and I am sincerely grateful for his perseverance and determination. Thank you, John!

To make this short, I came to John, 2 weeks out of my 2nd back surgery, in dire need for legal help that I was not getting from somebody else. Immediately I hired John feeling that he would be the one to actually care about my needs and wants in this suffering I have been going through, in this CRAZY world of workers-comp. He has done things for me that I can guarantee no one else would. He's persistent with anything/everything I needed approved, gave me the latest updates immediately, always answered all my questions and was always there just to discuss the case in person. He's there when you need him, period, and he knows what he is doing, PERIOD. There are just a few more things to get done still and I know I can count on John for making it happen always. I would recommend John to anyone who is in desperate need of help with your case. He is a breath of fresh air that you need when things go sour. Its a blessing.

My now former employer was very unhelpful with managing my claim; in fact, I had been told by their assigned doctor that he was "not buying it" and I was left out in the cold. Finding John was one of the best things to happen to me. Immediately he was helping me find doctors within network, pushed for the insurance company to move forward with the MRI, and helped me get the operation I desperately needed. I cannot thank and recommend John enough!

Mr. Golchin was my lawyer for a case which a careless driver passed the red light at a intersection and hit my car so badly. My car was totaled and I was screened by the emergency. Unfortunately, the other driver did not acknowledge her fault, initially. But becasue of high endeavors, efforts, and consistency of Mr. Golchin, the other driver's insurance take the responsibility of the accident and paid the maximum available amount for my medical expenses and etc. Mr Golchin is available almost 24/7 for answering your concerns and providing you with the helpful advice. He replies all the emails promptly. All the paperwork were done remotely (online) and there was no need to meet him in person. I highly appreciate Mr. Golchin skills, patience, supports, and efforts for finely settling my difficult case.

In 2014, when I was stranded in Tijuana, MX after escaping political persecution in my home country (long story), I frantically looked for an immigration attorney to seek asylum in the US. I shot off emails to several SD attorneys, asking them questions the answers to which I already knew to gauge their: 1) responsiveness and 2) expertise. You'd be surprised how often lawyers provide the wrong answers even during the first consultation. No way I'm paying a single cent to any lawyer who doesn't know the law. It turned out that Mr Golchin was the only who responded promptly AND correctly. Not only that, he PERSONALLY TRAVELED DOWN TO MEXICO just to meet me, and this was before I even retained him. That just goes to show his sheer dedication and willingness to go the extra mile in performing his duties. He left an extremely positive impression so I retained him. When I was in immigration detention, he worked tirelessly to liaise with ICE officers to get me released ASAP and also visited me personally. With his assistance, I was finally paroled into the US. When the time came to file for a work permit and to file for asylum (I-589), Mr Golchin prepared the necessary form and documents conscientiously and accurately so as to prevent unnecessary delays. When I had to defend my case in court in Los Angeles, Mr Golchin traveled more than a handful of times to my city to represent me in court. Though not a loud/flamboyant lawyer, he knows the law extremely well, he makes a huge effort to acquaint himself with the facts of your case, and when arguing he adopts a deliberate, collected, yet persuasive tone to convince the immigration judge of his position. Mr Golchin and I have always prepared through Skype conferences or personal meetings right before any court appearance. Most importantly, Mr Golchin won my case for me (I'm finally a US asylee) at first instance, and the government attorney had also promised not to appeal the decision. I think, after all said and done, this is the most important point. I wouldn't be singing praises if my case had to go to appeal. I've also always felt comfortable consulting Mr Golchin on not only immigration matters but also other legal matters. He has been of assistance to me in legal matters beyond immigration. In short, I'd highly recommend Mr Golchin for your immigration-related matters. He's the perfect combination of legal expertise and also genuine care and attentiveness for his clients.

What a Workers’ Compensation Lawyer Can Do for You

A workers’ compensation lawyer specializes in helping employees who are injured or become ill as a result of their job to receive the benefits they are entitled to under workers' compensation laws. These lawyers represent injured workers in claims for medical benefits, wage replacement, and other compensation related to workplace injuries or illnesses. They also help when claims are denied, benefits are delayed, or disputes arise with the employer or the insurance company.

Whether you've been injured on the job, developed an occupational illness, or are dealing with a denied workers' compensation claim, a workers’ compensation lawyer can help you navigate the claims process and ensure you receive the full benefits you deserve.

When Should I Hire a Workers' Compensation Lawyer?

You should consider hiring a workers' compensation lawyer in several situations, especially when complications arise during the claims process or when your rights as an injured worker are being challenged. Some common reasons to hire a workers' compensation lawyer include:

  • Claim denial: If your workers' compensation claim has been denied, a lawyer can help you appeal the decision and represent you in hearings or litigation.
  • Inadequate benefits: If the insurance company offers you a settlement that doesn’t cover your medical expenses, lost wages, or other damages, a lawyer can negotiate on your behalf for a fair amount.
  • Delay in receiving benefits: If your benefits are being delayed, a lawyer can help expedite the process to ensure you receive timely compensation.
  • Permanent disability: If your injury leads to permanent disability (partial or total), a lawyer can help you navigate the more complex process of securing long-term benefits.
  • Retaliation by employer: If your employer retaliates against you for filing a workers' compensation claim (e.g., by firing or demoting you), a lawyer can protect your rights and pursue legal action.
  • Third-party liability: If a third party (e.g., a contractor or equipment manufacturer) was responsible for your injury, a lawyer can help you pursue additional compensation through a personal injury lawsuit.
  • Pre-existing conditions: If your employer or the insurance company claims that your injury is related to a pre-existing condition, a lawyer can help you present evidence showing that the injury was work-related.

Hiring a lawyer early in the process can prevent delays, avoid mistakes, and ensure you receive all the benefits you’re entitled to under workers' compensation law.

What Does a Workers' Compensation Lawyer Do?

A workers' compensation lawyer provides a range of legal services to injured workers, ensuring that they receive the benefits they deserve. Their tasks often include:

  • Filing claims: Helping injured workers prepare and file their workers' compensation claims to ensure accuracy and timeliness.
  • Appealing denied claims: Representing workers whose claims have been denied and guiding them through the appeals process, including hearings and court appearances.
  • Negotiating settlements: Negotiating with insurance companies to secure fair compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages.
  • Handling disputes: Resolving disputes between the injured worker, the employer, and the insurance company regarding the amount of compensation or the nature of the injury.
  • Coordinating medical evidence: Gathering and presenting medical records, expert testimony, and other evidence to support the workers' compensation claim.
  • Advocating for benefits: Ensuring that injured workers receive all the benefits they’re entitled to, including temporary or permanent disability benefits, vocational rehabilitation, and medical treatment.
  • Filing third-party lawsuits: In cases where a third party is responsible for the injury, a workers' compensation lawyer may also pursue a personal injury lawsuit to recover additional damages.

How Are Workers’ Compensation Lawyers Paid?

Workers' compensation lawyers typically charge a contingency fee, meaning they only get paid if they successfully recover benefits for you. This fee is usually a percentage of the benefits awarded, and the specific percentage is often regulated by state law. Here's how it generally works:

  • Contingency fee: The lawyer's fee is typically between 15% and 25% of the total benefits awarded to you. You don’t have to pay any upfront legal fees, and the lawyer’s fee comes out of the settlement or benefit award.
  • No fee if no recovery: If the lawyer doesn’t recover any benefits for you, you generally don’t have to pay for their services.
  • State regulations on fees: Many states cap the percentage that workers' compensation lawyers can charge, and some states require the fee to be approved by the workers' compensation board or judge.

Be sure to discuss the fee structure with your lawyer during the initial consultation to understand how much you will owe if your case is successful.

How Much Does a Workers' Compensation Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a workers' compensation lawyer typically depends on the contingency fee arrangement, meaning the lawyer’s fee will be a percentage of the benefits you receive. General cost estimates include:

  • Contingency fees: Most workers' compensation lawyers charge between 15% and 25% of the total settlement or benefits awarded. For example, if you receive $50,000 in benefits, the lawyer’s fee would range from $7,500 to $12,500.
  • State regulations: Some states limit the percentage that workers' compensation lawyers can charge. In these cases, the fee is usually capped, often at 20% to 25%, depending on state law.
  • Additional costs: Some lawyers may charge for out-of-pocket expenses, such as filing fees, medical records retrieval, and expert witness testimony, though these costs are typically deducted from the settlement after the case is won.

You should always ask for a clear explanation of fees and potential additional costs during your consultation so you understand the financial arrangement.

Top Questions to Ask a Workers' Compensation Lawyer

Before hiring a workers' compensation lawyer, it’s important to ask the right questions to ensure they are the best fit for your case. Key questions to ask include:

  1. What experience do you have with workers' compensation cases?
    Ensure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, especially if your injury is severe or the case involves disputes.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Clarify whether the lawyer charges a contingency fee and whether there are any additional costs you need to be aware of.
  3. What is the likelihood of success in my case?
    Ask for an honest assessment of your case, including the potential challenges and outcomes.
  4. Have you handled cases like mine before?
    Find out if the lawyer has experience dealing with cases involving similar injuries or disputes, such as denied claims or permanent disability.
  5. How long will the process take?
    While it’s difficult to predict an exact timeline, the lawyer should be able to provide a general estimate based on their experience with similar cases.
  6. Will you personally handle my case?
    In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may handle parts of your case. Make sure you know who will be working on your claim.

How to Check the Credibility of a Workers' Compensation Lawyer

To ensure you are hiring a reputable workers' compensation lawyer, follow these steps to verify their credentials and track record:

  • Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing, with no disciplinary actions against them.
  • Look for workers' compensation experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in workers' compensation law and have successfully handled cases similar to yours.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for client reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about the lawyer’s expertise and service.
  • Ask for references: A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients who can speak to their experience in workers' compensation cases.
  • Check for professional affiliations: Membership in organizations like the Workers' Injury Law & Advocacy Group (WILG) or local bar association committees on workers' compensation can indicate the lawyer’s commitment to this area of law.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most out of your first consultation with a workers' compensation lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:

  • Accident report or incident documentation: Bring any documentation related to your workplace injury or illness, including accident reports or notifications to your employer.
  • Medical records: Provide copies of medical records, including treatment notes, doctor’s reports, and any information related to your injury or condition.
  • Employer correspondence: Bring any letters, emails, or forms related to your claim from your employer or the workers' compensation insurance company.
  • Wage and benefits information: Provide information on your wages, benefits, and any lost income due to the injury.
  • List of questions: Prepare questions about your case, the process, costs, and what to expect moving forward.
  • Timeline of events: Prepare a timeline of the incident, your injury, and any medical treatment or communication with your employer and the insurance company.

Being well-prepared for your consultation will allow the lawyer to assess your case more effectively and provide you with the best possible legal advice.
