Highly Recommend

From the first time I spoke to Nina, she put my nerves at ease. I was totally comfortable with her. She believed in me and my medical condition wholeheartedly. She advised me on which documents were needed for my case. There was a time when I asked myself whether or not all the effort was worth i...t. That’s a question most of us disabled people ask themselves. Especially when our health limits us to only a minimal amount of up time. Nina was a big reason why I kept at it. Her knowledge of the case law with regard to my case was impressive. She was able to secure a win in my case. If you give Nina a call, you won’t be disappointed. I’m positive she will do her best to secure a win for you.

Excellent representation!

I engaged Nina and her team regarding a long-term disability claim due to health issues. Nina had a detailed and unique approach to make sure that the insurance company understood the extent of my disability. It was definitely a difficult case and she was always responsive, thorough, and empathetic ...towards me as her client. I highly recommend her as someone who’s tenacious, knowledgeable, and supportive of her clients.

A productive and supportive experience!

I worked with Nina for over a year to get my case resolved. She was consistent and always assured me that she was working for my best outcome. She fought for me and was relentless in making sure I got the best result. She and the team are amazing and I recommend their services to anyone. Don't do ...it alone, you won't regret it!

Highly recommend!

I required representation regarding a long term disability appeals claim. My previous denial for benefits was reversed and awarded to me because of the excellent handling of my case. The firm was thorough, kept me well informed all along the way, and answered questions promptly. After seeing all the ...details they saw to while ensuring my appeal was properly filed, I realized how valuable their services were. I’m very satisfied and would highly recommend!

Geannina A. Burgos, DABDOUB LAW FIRM fought hard for me

I suffered a head injury after being rear ended on my way to work, initially, I didn’t realize how severely injured I was. Within a couple of days, I developed severe nausea, dizziness, and migraines. I could not work. I had long-term disability insurance through my work. The insurer even agreed to ...pay me my benefits. Then, a year later, they denied my claim. I needed help and after speaking to several attorneys in the DC metro, I found the perfect firm, and attorney, in FL to handle my case. Geannina Burgos, DABDOUB LAW FIRM provided excellent communication and guidance throughout the legal process. They filed a lawsuit against my insurance company. When I had to move across the country due to my financial situation, they arranged for me to appear at a mediation via Zoom so that I would not need to travel, something I could not afford. Geannina helped me through the litigation and mediation process. I could not have made it without her. After 5 hours mediation, we settled my claim. I cannot overemphasize just how great of a job Geannina and her firm did for me. I highly recommend them and I’m grateful for their personal approach and the outstanding outcome.
