Review Douglas Robinson

Excellent Representation

Posted by

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

Posted by

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.
