Fantastic attorney

I hired Nina to handle my LTD appeal. I was immediately impressed with the fact that she spoke to me directly right away before I was required to submit any information. She was personable and professional which made the decision to retain her services very easy. Communication was clear, prompt and e...fficient along the way and I was given precise recommendations for the things we needed to obtain in order to successfully file an appeal. This was my first experience hiring an attorney and she made what could have been a very stressful experience a comfortable one and we obtained a positive outcome. I have nothing but good things to say about my experience with Ms. Burgos!

Excellent and Tenacious, Caring Lawyer

I discovered the Dabdoub Firm when searching for attorneys that handle my particular situation. There are very few, and I decided to contact the firm. I was pleasantly surprised within the first few minutes of my first conversation with Nina. She knew so much about my situation, how things work, and ...particularly important, she is deeply knowledgeable about my health condition, which is Lyme Disease and Co-Infections. Anyone that has experienced this illness knows, it's extremely difficult to find professionals (including doctors) that know the intricacies of these illnesses. After about 2 hours give or take of our initial conversation, I felt very confident that she would be the perfect choice for me. The process from there was smooth, and communication was excellent. even though I failed to respond several times due to forgetfulness, etc., Nina made sure to use all possible options for trying to contact me. I never felt like a burden or nuisance with my questions, and Nina was very clear on all details and made sure to point out the challenge of my particular situation, which helped level my expectations. While the ultimate outcome was moderate, it was reasonable due the challenges of my case, and still worth the fight. Nina was tenacious in advocating for the best possible outcome. I personally could not have found anyone as good or better.

Outstanding and Empathetic Disability Attorney

Nina was incredibly supportive through a long and arduous disability case and brought hope to my husband and I during very challenging times. With her guidance, hard work, and negotiating skill, she got us a settlement that will be a huge help to me being able to focus on moving forward with medical ...treatment and healing. She was a God-sent woman.

I highly recommend Geannina Burgos to anyone in need of legal assistance with Long-Term Disability, SSDI, or ERISA.

After conducting an exhaustive search for attorneys in the South Florida area and writing a methodical comparison that took into consideration cost, benefit, understanding of LTD, SSDI, and ERISA law, and their level of empathy, I am very glad to have chosen Geannina Burgos from Dabdoub Law Firm to r...epresent me. Nina was remarkably familiar with insurance companies and their tactics for unfair denials. She and everyone at her practice were knowledgeable and empathetic about my health and gave me a clear understanding of the process, which can be convoluted and confusing, especially in the time of COVID-19. They did everything necessary to achieve a fair reinstatement of my benefits. They care about patients' well-being and they care about the law. I have no reservation in recommending Geannina Burgos and her practice to anyone in need of legal assistance with Long-Term Disability, SSDI, or ERISA. Thank you, Nina!
