Mr. Douglas Robinson executed a strong and effective and impressive appeal to have my disability benefits reinstated, which were terminated by Lincoln Financial over 2 months ago.. He and his team and their law office are HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. The firm offers clear insight to what they can do on your behalf and the expected outcome. I chose wisely.
I worked successfully for many years as a manager for a bank. I never thought I would get sick and be unable to work. Unfortunately, I was diagnosed with a condition that is not well understood and had a complicated case. I needed the help of an experienced attorney that has handled short term and long term disability claims and understands ERISA. I was relieved when I found Doug Robinson. He worked very hard on my case and never gave up. He represented me in a lawsuit against Cigna and I am very pleased with the outcome. Also, Mrs Ginger Lanier was a true professional the entire process. I highly recommend Doug Robinson if you need help with your long term disability claim.

Outstanding Private Disability Lawyer
I was a senior paralegal at a large global corporation when I became sick and had to stop working. Since my illness was difficult to diagnose, I was initially denied short- and long-term disability through Prudential. I was referred to Doug Robinson by someone who had used him with great success. Not only is Doug extremely professional, but he is also an expert in this area of the law. He made several recommendations to me on how to build a stronger case. Within 5 months of beginning working with Doug, I was approved for both short- and long-term disability. I highly recommend him if you are fighting a private disability claim - no matter how complex your illness(es) are.

Appeal of Cigna Disability Insurance denial
Attorney Doug Robinson and his Legal Assistant Ginger Lanier expertly and professionally represented me in appealing the denial of my disability insurance from Cigna Insurance. During the consultation visit, they reviewed all of the materials in great detail and provided valuable advice on how to process my appeal with Cigna, even if I didn’t hire them. It was apparent from the start that Doug and Ginger cared about me. Doug’s reputation for perseverance and assertive representation for his clients is well earned. He and Ginger keep me informed every step of the way and in the end, won the appeal and got the entirety of my benefits reinstated. I have every confidence in Doug and Ginger, and wouldn’t hesitate to seek their help again. I encourage anyone facing a battle with any insurance provider to hire Doug Robinson and his team.

Excellent attorney
Doug was professional and helped my father regain his long term care benefits. John Hancock stopped paying my father's long term care claims and with Doug's help, he was able to get them to reinstate his benefits. This has taken a lot of financial pressure off our family. With strong confidence I recommend him.

A Godsend
I would not have my Cigna benefits today if it weren’t for Doug Robinson and his paralegal, Ginger Lanier. If your benefit is higher than average, you simply must retain an attorney that knows the law, knows the regulations, and knows all the ways those things can be interpreted and executed so that your insurer pays out as little as possible. You need someone that is steeped in this legal sector and is aware of changes in tactics and case law. Doug knows the systems, knows the twists and turns, and he cares.
Don’t get me wrong. He doesn’t work for free. No one can do that. Especially with someone who’s situation is as complex as mine. A cookie cutter approach would have landed me broke and on the streets by now. Doug’s guidance, and predictions, have been spot on, he told me what things had to be done and told me the costs up front, and he took steps to minimize my costs. The people he has referred me to for evaluation and for other legal services have been excellent. In the past three years, he and Ginger went out of their way to help me navigate the system many times—things they weren’t required, or even expected, to do and I’m grateful.

Great job
Douglas and Ginger were great. I had a disability claim against Lincoln Financial, and they had denied me benefits. Douglas filed against them and got my benefits, and even after I began to get my social security disability benefits, Douglas got me a final settlement. His office and staff were wonderful, and were always available to answer any questions. They had my benefits directly to my account, with a summary each month, as well as a year end summary. I would give them 10 stars for the great work and compassion they showed me.

Successful Appeal Against Cigna
After frustrating attempts to deal with Cigna I was denied on my disability claim. I found Doug’s firm online, read many reviews and called for a consultation. After meeting Doug in person I hired him as my attorney that day. I have never gone through an ordeal like this but he is very knowledgeable and understanding. I appreciated the way he handled my case, made sure that I understood what was going on and kept me informed. I can say to anyone in this type of position who needs help that Doug is awesome. Not only is he diligent when working on your case but a very nice and caring person to.

Worth Every Penny
Mr. Robinson recently helped me prepare my private insurance LTD claim. As my health is not good and I get easily confused, I was afraid I would mess things up on my own. His guidance was invaluable through this process.
Mr. Robinson was a pleasure to work with and explained everything well, while being careful of the time so the cost stayed reasonable to me. He and his assistant responded to my calls/emails quickly and were always effective in their communications.
They made me feel like a valued customer even though my case was 'small potatoes' for his firm. I strongly recommend working with Doug Robinson if you have a case that is in his area of expertise.

Awesome ERISA Attorney
Doug Robinson helped me to successfully resolve a disability claim with Unum that was frustrating and complex. He walked me through every step of the process and his advice and guidance was invaluable. I don’t think I could have found a better attorney to represent me and I would not hesitate to hire him again or to recommend him to my friends and associates.

Review for Mr. Douglas Robinson
After having a consultation with Mr. Douglas Robinson at the firm of Evans, Scholz, Williams & Warncke, LLC, we felt very comfortable in our decision to hire him for our claim with Liberty Mutual Insurance. He was upfront and honest in reference of what was to be expected during the process from both his firm and from Liberty Mutual and also from us. His secretary, Ms. Lanier was a blessing in helping us with the process of all the documents needed and answering many questions that we had during the claim process and not to mention keeping us abreast of all activity during the process.
No doubt in our mind that we would certainly refer Mr. Douglas Robinson to any of our friends, family, or even an acquaintance. He's a winner in our book for sure !!!

Satisfied Client
Attorney Robinson was very easy to work with; personable, thorough, and extremely knowledgeable. He was very successful in getting my long term disability for which I paid premiums to CIGNA Insurance for over 8 years. We had many discussions about status and options of the cases as they were presented. He had excellent advice and I appreciated his hard work ethic, his compassion and dedication towards his clients. He won both my cases for me so I am very satisfied!

Atlanta lawyer successful with Cigna long term disability claim
When Cigna denied my long term disability claim, I came to Doug for help and he was successful in getting the denial overturned. When Cigna closed the claim upon reaching the 2-year own-occupation mark, he was able to get me on continuing benefits.
The best thing about Doug other than his success rate, is his personality. He has a calm demeanor, communicates well and is accessible. He has the tenacity to get the best results possible. It's hard to find these qualities in one lawyer. Doug was recommended to me by another successful claimant, and I happily recommend him to others as well.

Land Attorney
Hired Doug Robinson to save my Mom's property that was being scammed from her by a shady real estate agent who mislead an 85 year old school teacher with dementia. He felt certain he could win the case and save her property. He racked up the hours for the firm, and she passed with great fear of losing property that had been in her family over 100 years. From the time of her death he was a "sloppy" lawyer. True, she signed a bad agreement, but he sat in on the Amendment as the Land Attorney and did not even get a closing date. This has cost my family dearly, financially and emotionally. I would never use him again.
