The Best!

I hired this firm to help me with an ERISA case. It was very hard trying to find a firm that would take my case as not many firms will take on big insurance companies for LTD. They helped me every step of the way, they are caring and very professional in everything that they do. From beginning to end... and even after my case was won they still continue to help me every time the insurance company asks for continuous information. Ms. Burgos, from the firm, understands the needs of her clients. She is an extraordinary attorney whose expertise has generated a positive outcome in my case. I highly recommend this amazing attorney as well as this law firm. I could not have done the work they did for me on my own. I would advise anyone in need of a lawyer to call this firm immediately as they truly are one of a kind. They have done an excellent job helping me in my time of need and thereafter. Thank you Ms. Burgos for your kind and professional consideration with my very difficult case.

Thank you for the moral and financial win against Cigna!

My wife and I would like to thank you Nina for winning my disability case against Cigna. Nina and her team showed total professionalism and dedication working my case. Besides being knowledgeable Nina also showed compassion for my well-being. Thanks to Nina, I can now move forward and focus my on-goi...ng health-care, not having to worry about the complex insurance issues. We will gladly pass along the wonderful experience we had with Nina Burgos and the Dabdoub Law firm.

Wow, what an attorney!

After becoming disabled and being declined by my employer's LTD carrier, I decided to engage with legal counsel. Ms. Burgos was tough as nails, experienced with what I needed, and had a sense of humor too! I thoroughly enjoyed working with her -- as she won my case.

Dedicated and Thorough

I hired Geaninna and Eddie to handle my LTD case. I only wish I hired them sooner in the process, because I had tried to initially appeal a denial on my own. This made my case even more complicated and messy for them to sort through. My medical files were extensive and my multiple conditions are ...complex. This was not an easy case. Yet, I would speak to Geaninna (Nina) and she knew my case so thoroughly that she mentioned parts I had forgotten. It was moments like this that I knew I was in good hands. Additionally, the passion and dedication was evident. I have worked with other attorneys and this was different in a good way. I was more than just a case. I was a person they treated more like family, dedicated to getting me this best possible outcome. They fought hard for me. I wish she could be my attorney for anything I needed in the future. I trust her and this firm.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
