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.

Best Insurance Attorney

Nina's knowledge and assistance certainly paid off. She did a great job helping with the LTD carrier that tried to take me for a ride. I hired her not knowing what to expect. However, she pulled through and was able to help me recoup lost dollars from the carrier. I really appreciate her being so per...sonable, reliable and always being on top of things. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

A very very happy client.

Wow, Ms. Geannina Burgos took on a 70 Billon plus Insurance Company. That my previous attorney got scared and dropped me as a client, After explaining my case, Nina didn't even hesitate to except me as a client along with her firm DABDOUB LAW FIRM some 3000 miles away. Not knowing how the communicati...on would go because of living in another state. Her team ALWAYS kept me in the loop had emails daily and weekly to keep me informed that eased my mind. Within a very short time Nina had the first offer on the table from this 70 billion plus dollar insurance company. I think this was a slap in the face. We / Nina decided this was not in my best interest, so Nina went back to this the insurance and worked her magic. Insurance company came back with another offer that I was very satisfied with their offer and accepted. If you want to be correctly represented go with Ms. Geannina Burgos and her firm, Nina took the stress out of stress even being 3000 miles away. I'm very satisfied with the settlement in my case. Just think, this lady ( Ms. Geannina Burgos ) single handedly went up against one of the largest Insurance company in the UNITED STATES. Nina has her clients interest first, honest and not scared to fight big Insurance Company.

Excellent Service

Nina is truly amazing. After 11 months of losing hope on getting my appeal favorable, she did an outstanding job and my appeal was ruled favorable within 3 weeks of being filed. Nina took all of the stress and worry off my plate. And knowing that I have her in my corner for the foreseeable future put...s me at ease. I know I am not fighting this battle alone.
