Nina is a great advocate

I feel lucky to have found Nina. She’s competent and empathetic. She’s handling my case remotely because I don’t work or live in the same state as her office. Ask her questions and she will answer you honestly. I hope to never need another disability lawyer, but I would contact Nina right away if... the need ever arises. I would highly recommend her to my family and friends. I might not have gotten any of my benefits if it wasn’t for Nina because I originally underestimated the insurance companies tactics to avoid paying benefits for which I have been paying premiums to for years. Once I hired Nina she handled all of the contact with the insurance company. I feel confident that I have a true advocate with Nina.

Simply the Best !

When private insurance company terminated my disability, I was lucky to find Nina to handle my disability appeal. She wasn't recommended to me by anyone, I found her on my own when researching LTD attorneys based on the users reviews .After first phone conversation with her my husband said that he th...inks that Nina is extremely knowledgeable on LTD. And now I know for sure that this is true. She is brilliant in her field, always proactive, very patient and professional. When you talk to her, you feel that you are in good hands: she explains you the strategy, explain all the details, answer all your questions. With Nina’s hard work, my disability was reinstated after 7 month. We are very grateful to Nina and her paralegal team.

Disability Law

Thanks to Geannina (Nina) Burgos and the entire team at Dabdoub Law firm I was able to successfully win both my short- and long-term disability case. From the day they took my case the entire team was on point with researching and corresponding with my insurance company. The insurance company delay...ed my case multiple times, including providing denials, and the team did not back down. They were tenacious and provided evidence and documentation that could not be refuted by the insurance company. Nina was kind and prompt in keeping in touch with me regarding details of my case. Thank you so much for standing by my side and assuring that my claims were rightfully settled.

My case

I’m pleased to have been referred to this firm. They take great pride in working for you. My case was won and there efforts were above and beyond. I highly recommend anyone that needs legal help dealing with STD/LTD case use them. They work hard to get what you deserve. They keep great communication ...through phone and email. They really take each case as if it were their own.

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!
