Amazing Job!

Nina handled a very difficult disability Insurance case for me. She was amazing and patient. Definitely recommend!

Professional Competence

My case was a complicated one to say the least. I'd spoken to a few attorneys in my state on the west coast, and went over the particulars of my case. I knew I was due disability benefits, but my ex-employer was denying me from every angle possible. The separation was NOT amicable. I chose her becaus...e of the 3 I was deciding between, she was the only one who was hands down confident and could speak to the nuances of the case having argued many of the intricacies herself. I couldn't have been happier I made the decision! Though the insurance company did everything they could to avoid paying, she ultimately was able to secure a monetary resolution for me, that was 3 times what I would have been happy with! She shredded the insurance company's arguments with little difficulty. During the entire process, I was consistently kept in the loop and if I had any questions, I had a response within a day. Her firm was exceedingly professional, and though she was on leave for a time during the case, she ensured the lawyer that was standing in for her was well versed on the case and was able to make critical progress. Progress that, when it really came down to it, was a critical factor between whether or not I was going to receive the money I was due. I would highly recommend her in general, but if your case is remotely complicated, with an end result that was in doubt, you couldn't choose a better lawyer to represent you and your best interests! Thank You again Nina!!!!

Professional and Trustworthy

I’m so glad Nina was assigned to my case. Employer Short and Long Term Disability insurance is a difficult at best and as much as your case worker says they are for you, they are not. I originally spoke with Nina after searching for lawyers inline. She is very upfront and honest. Nina is very custome...r focused and does what is best for you. Everything she told me about the process was spot on. Without going into great detail, my STD insurance was held up but very close to a decision. When I signed up with her to represent me and she notified the insurance company, they immediately approved payment. Nina then advocated with her partners to consider only the Long Term Disability case, since there was minimal involvement saving me several hundred dollars. In the short time, Nina and her team has been involved in my case, they have already gotten me approved for LTD. I look forward to working with her for the maintenance of my case. The headache of dealing with the insurance company is gone. It’s refreshing to work with someone with integrity who actually cares for their customer. Thank you Nina!

Compassionate Professionalism when you need it most.

Nina and team have been a godsend to me in one the most difficult times in my entire life. No one can ever prepare themselves for the unexpected hardship that comes with learning that your life will never be the same again. Trigeminal Neuralgia is a beast to live with. Nina’s expertise and confiden...ce and most off her compassion for those whom suffer with this disease, She is diligent, professional, caring and to her and her entire team, I just want to say THANK YOU for all the support, I recommend to ALL whom suffer from chronic pain such as Trigeminal Neuralgia don’t wait, call Nina and her team, you do not have to fight alone, let the experts help you too.

Highly Recommend

Nina and her staff were extremely competent. All that was required of me was to provide the necessary medical records and information pertinent to my injury and they handled everything. Any time I had questions, Nina or a staff member called within 24 hours. Their responsiveness alleviated a great... deal of anxiety and assurance that my case was progressing as it should.
