I would have to say that it was an absolute pleasure having Marcia Guzman represent me in my wrongful termination case against my former employer. The dedication and commitment Mrs. Guzman and her team put into this case made me feel very comfortable and protected. From the very beginning, the firm maintained great communication and updated me on anything pertaining to my case. Mrs. Guzman and her team fought very hard throughout the entire case to make sure I am properly and well compensated by my former employer. Overall, I’m happy to say that I am very pleased with their professionalism and outcome of the settlement. I would happily recommend the firm to anyone needing an attorney for employment and labor, discrimination or wrongful termination.

After refinancing a property, The title company messed up in recording of our quitclaim deeds. It seemed that something was wrong. We informed the tittle company. It took a while, going back and fort, the tillite company claimed that it was fixed. By now we lost the trust in accuracy of the deeds. We needed an expert to review the documents. Marc was very personable and knowledgeable. He reviewed our documents and told us that everything was ok. He answered all of our questions and explained relevant details. He was very professional and friendly. We felt very comfortable. It seemed like we were meeting a caring family member. We are sure he is our go to attorney when we need one. He is highly, highly recommended.

When our case went to trial he was very prepared even when the opposing side was throwing curve balls. He was able to switch up his tactic during a quick lunch recess. Ultimately we won more than expected and were extremely satisfied with the results. Thank you Marc, you are appreciated! Would definitely recommend.

I don’t typically write any reviews but Shiela was so Amazing from the initial consult to the end of the case that she deserves people to know what a professional, compassionate, kind attorney she is. If your looking for the best attorney than stop looking. I liked her immediately because she listened without any judgments, she didn’t rush me off the phone, she really listened to my case. It was so refreshing to find an attorney that was so good at what they do, make your feel comfortable, and pass zero judgements and care all at the same time. She gives you the facts, helps you understand what to expect which helped me so much. I found Shiela after my previous attorney really messed up a simple case for me and made it beyond complicated. Shiela solved the problem, where most attorneys wouldn’t even want to get involved with someone else’s mess, but she took the time, helped us and solved our case. We are so happy with Shiela and appreciate her very much. Thank you so much for all your help.

From the outset, Doug Moreno made me feel secure. He has so much knowledge in this area and gave me such good counsel during the process. Doug and Megan, kept me abreast of what was happening every step of the way, so there were no surprises. They gave me timely input so that I could make decisions that worked for me. I was very satisfied with the outcome of my case and can now move on with security and confidence. I could not have done this without this amazing law firm.

Thank you Doug and Meghan. I am a retired police officer, who sustained a serious life changing injury while on duty. After the injury, I tried to go through the workers compensation process on my own. That was a huge mistake and the flawed methods of the workers comp system just wore me down. Instead of giving up, I met with Doug Moreno. He made a grand first impression and I hired him on the spot (Everything about him just felt right). The balance of power immediately shifted. I no longer had to fight workers comp on my own. Doug and his assistant Meghan took on the battle for me. After a nearly 6-year workers comp battle (4 years with Doug), my case was respectably settled. Doug had me fighting back tears of gratitude as he revealed the final settlement details. My injury, sometimes referred to as the "invisible injury," did not go unnoticed. I wanted to be 100% again, but when I realized that wasn't going to happen, I just wanted the peace of mind to know that no stone would be left unturned, that I would be treated fairly, and that I would be taken care of. Doug made sure that all of those things occurred. They would not have if I had continued to deal with workers comp on my own. If you are considering an attorney, request a free consultation with Doug Moreno. Then make your own decision (pressure free). Hiring him was one of the best decisions I ever made. Doug and Meghan are both kind, understanding, knowledgeable, professional, and readily available. I will be retaining Doug's services for many years to come.

If you are looking for a lawyer that's honest with you from day one, then Jonathan's your man! If you're looking for a lawyer who will not back down and fight an amazing fight, then Jonathan's your man! If you are looking for a lawyer that will follow through with everything he says, then Jonathan is for you! I was injured because of the negligence of the company I worked for. And since there are laws protecting the employer and not necessarily the employee, Jonathan never sugar coated anything, he gave it to me blatant and honest, and I appreciated that!! The company I worked for was not forthright, they did not return phone calls, and they drug this thing out a lot longer than need be. But Jonathan never gave up, he always returned my phone calls, and he made me feel like I mattered! He was so up front during my consultation, I ended up getting the exact amount he said my case was worth. If I could give Jonathan more than 5 stars I would. Trust me, if you are looking for a lawyer that is going to fight hard for you, than Jonathan's the lawyer for you!

I can actually say I have never met anyone like Mr. Meline he is truly a rare breed of an workmancomp attorney he not just fights for your case but he fights for you the person and let's you know he is there for you. His character speaks for itself, he never let's you get lost among all the paperwork that comes with the many court decisions and dates, he fights for you at beginning all the way until the end. His office is just as caring as he is, no matter how frustrating the process may feel at times, they all have away of helping you through it.

When I first contacted Mr. Cleveland, I was a mess. Mine was a very sensitive case, one that involved a police department. When I left his office that first day (and after hiring him), I felt immediate relief. I knew I had someone in my corner and I wouldn't have to fight the system myself. He kept me very well-informed throughout my case and always answered my questions with tact, never with any trace of impatience. I know I wouldn't have been able to get through my case without him.

I strongly recommended this Attorney office for your Workers Comp need. I am very satisfied with what my Attorney Brian Freeman and his assistants got for me in my WC case. You can trust him 100%. He is not only very friendly and answering any questions I had, but also very experienced, professional, considerate and thoughtful in many details in your favor when he handled my WC case. Most of us, ordinary people don't have much experienced how a WC case develops. Particularly, my work injury was not a broken arm or leg, but I had a injury in my heart by the stress of my overloaded work. I realized later that I need to file a WC claim after couple of ER visits because of my damaged heart, but I had no idea how to proceed. I felt very lucky to find and have Attorney Brian filed my WC claim and get his guidance in every step during my WC claim.

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!

In 2023, my license application was initially denied in California due to a background issue, even though no other state had taken any action. It was an incredibly stressful time, but I reached out to Paul and AJ for help. They handled my case with expertise and dedication, and while the process took over a year, the outcome was worth it. Thanks to their efforts, my license was reinstated in full, without any restrictions. I highly recommend Paul and AJ to anyone dealing with licensing issues or needing assistance. They truly deliver exceptional results!

Jeff Kravitz and his team are extremely knowledgeable in the areas of professional license defense and should be the first call you make when facing practice related accusations and disciplinary actions.

As Paul said, my case is unique. Even though I’m not sure what the outcome will be, I know that Paul and AJ are working diligently to secure a favorable one. If you’re looking for a lawyer to save your license, I’d recommend Paul. If you’re looking for a nurse support group, reach out to Paul as well as he set me up in Cathy’s group and that’s been very helpful in being able to vocalize concerns only people in our situation would experience. Don’t respond to the BRN or diversion, should you receive any correspondence regarding issues with practice. Do what I didn’t do and secure legal representation immediately. It could save your livelihood. Let Paul save what you worked hard for.

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.
