Thank you Geannina Andrea Burgos and the team at Dabdoub Law firm.

My family and I would are forever thankful to Geannina Burgos (Nina) for the positive outcome of my disability case against Prudential. Nina and her team were always professional, dedicated and compassionate towards me. Besides being extremely knowledgeable, Nina showed empathy toward me and my dis...ability. Thanks to Nina, my family and I can now concentrate on my health care issues without the added stress of having to worry about the insurance aspect of any illness. We will gladly and graciously recommend the law firm of Dabdoub and in particular the services of attorney Geannina Andrea Burgos.

The best defense is a strong defense

I would like to start this review by saying that not only was Geannina, a diligent attorney but a kind human being that took personally the wrong that my insurance company was doing to me. She left no room for doubt as to why my appeal should be accepted, every document, medical request, and personal... information she request was a building block that assured me i was in the right hands and that my appeal or case was in the right hands, and i was right. hers is a brilliant legal mind that i recommend hole hardheartedly. I'll end this by expressing my humble appreciation for incredible work and that of her team. thank you.

Compassionate and professional

After my disability insurance company wrongfully terminated my long term disability policy and having no choice but to file a lawsuit against the company, I was devastated financially and emotionally. that was until I spoke with Nina and her staff. Nina and her staff took time to speak with me and le...arn about how this wrongful termination had financially destroyed me to the point that I had considered suicide just to provide financially for my child. Nina not only listened my story as unfortunately, she hears many stories of devastation, but Nina showed real compassion and told me that she would fight for me. Nina and her staff kept in constant contact by calling me or emailing with every update or offer. I felt as if there were any chance to prevail, Nina would make sure it happened. I believe that Nina got me the best settlement under the current ERISA laws. I would suggest Nina and her staff to anyone that is in need of an attorney that will completely support you and fight for you during litigation. Nina and her staff literally saved my life which allows me to be here and care for my child.

Excellent Lawyer! Such a pleasure to work with Geannina!

I only have good things to say about Geannina and Dabdoub Lawfirm. It was such a pleasure to work with Geannina and I am so grateful for all of her help. She walked me through every step of the process and made sure I was informed and understood every legal action taken. She was more informative and ...helpful than my doctor at times in navigating the world of post concussive syndrome. Thanks to her I took a neuropsychological evaluation to help my case, but also gave me evidence for myself as well to see how my brain was working/not working post my accident. Dealing with my disability insurance and with my disability was incredibly stressful and frustrating. Geannina took the stress out of the whole situation. I only wish I had called Dabdoub law firm earlier in the process! I am so grateful for all of her work!
