Outstanding and Empathetic Disability Attorney

Nina was incredibly supportive through a long and arduous disability case and brought hope to my husband and I during very challenging times. With her guidance, hard work, and negotiating skill, she got us a settlement that will be a huge help to me being able to focus on moving forward with medical ...treatment and healing. She was a God-sent woman.

I highly recommend Geannina Burgos to anyone in need of legal assistance with Long-Term Disability, SSDI, or ERISA.

After conducting an exhaustive search for attorneys in the South Florida area and writing a methodical comparison that took into consideration cost, benefit, understanding of LTD, SSDI, and ERISA law, and their level of empathy, I am very glad to have chosen Geannina Burgos from Dabdoub Law Firm to r...epresent me. Nina was remarkably familiar with insurance companies and their tactics for unfair denials. She and everyone at her practice were knowledgeable and empathetic about my health and gave me a clear understanding of the process, which can be convoluted and confusing, especially in the time of COVID-19. They did everything necessary to achieve a fair reinstatement of my benefits. They care about patients' well-being and they care about the law. I have no reservation in recommending Geannina Burgos and her practice to anyone in need of legal assistance with Long-Term Disability, SSDI, or ERISA. Thank you, Nina!

Thorough, Tough and Caring!

Geannina Burgos is certainly one of the best Social Security/Disability attorneys in the United States. As we live in two different areas in Florida, we never met face to face. Even so, I knew that she understood and deeply cared about my case. After failing not qualifying to receive SSDI, my com...pany's disability insurance policy covered me. After five years, I was dropped from monthly benefits. After a thorough search of Social Security/Disability Attorneys in Florida, I hired Ms. Burgos. I hit the jackpot. Unlike most attorney's, I dealt directly with her the majority of the time. She did have an assistant to collect data, but I spoke with her regularly. As we neared the mediation process she prepared me and my spouse thoroughly. We understood that it could take up to six months to settle. As a result of her incredible ability to negotiate and through the efforts of her managing partner and my spouse, we were able to settle the first day! I cannot thank her enough for her tenacity and hard work. She really cares!

Highly Recommend Ms. Burgos!!!

It is my honor to highly recommend Ms. Burgos and her legal team. She represented me in a long-term disability case. She listened attentively, was compassionate, answered all my questions, and was extremely knowledgeable and responsive. I am very grateful to Ms. Burgos for a quick, and positive re...solution to my case.

Highly Recommended & Reliable Disability Attorney

It was instantly clear from my initial consultation with Nina that not only was she extremely knowledgeable about Disability Law, but that she was going to fairly represent me and fight for me. I hired her on the spot, and knew I made the right decision... In working with Nina over the past year,... I have found her to be extremely professional, reliable, and trustworthy. No matter how stressful the situation became with my LTD case, Nina was always forthcoming and presented facts and options to me in a straight forward fashion. She is a skilled negotiator, as well as a compassionate professional, who really cares about her clients! I honestly can't thank Nina enough for all of her hard work, efforts and legal expertise. I highly recommend her and her firm to anyone in need of a Disability Lawyer. You will be in good hands!
