While in court I heard about San Diego attorney Noel Meza of Greene Roberts law, violating a court order by disclosing the names of abuse victims of priests. California law is very clear on this issue. In Starbucks Corp. v. Superior Court, 86 Cal. Rptr. 3d 482 (Cal. Ct. App. 2008) – The court notes in dicta that "[t]he judicial use of 'Doe plaintiffs"' to protect legitimate privacy rights has gained wide currency, particularly given the rapidity and ubiquity of disclosures over the World Wide Web." Even in criminal cases, at the victim's request, the court may order the victim's identity to be recorded under a pseudonym (Jane or John Doe) in all records and proceedings "if the court finds that such an order is reasonably necessary to protect the privacy of the person and will not unduly prejudice the prosecution or the defense. Cal. Penal Code § 293.5(a)

This attorney was consulted in the past and provided erroneous information and should not be trusted if you are seeking an attorney.

Oddly enough, Noel Meza represents the priests in the lawsuit and has since been determined to have a verified criminal record. I attached a screenshot of the case from the San Diego Superior Court. Also, I located on the same court website numerous lawsuits in involving Noel Meza:
Case Number Party Name Matches Opposing Party Case Location Case Type Filed
UN******* MEZA, NOEL SPANN, BILL North County Civil 07/11/2003
UC******* MEZA, NOEL GRIEGO, ANTHONY San Diego Civil 07/30/2003
U******* MEZA, NOEL GREENWOOD, DAVID San Diego Civil 05/10/1999
U******* MEZA, NOEL OUTLAW, ROBERT San Diego Civil 12/12/1997

U******* MEZA, NOEL GOFORTH, JOHN San Diego Civil 08/08/1995
N******* MEZA, NOEL SPANN, WILLIAM

Tip for consumers:
The information and advice given by Noel Meza demonstrates his knowledge of the law - very little. Then after seeing him in court, it was clearly sanctionable conduct where he disclosed the names of victims. I hope this information helps the public at large make an informed choice when seeking out an attorney.
