Exceptional Legal Support That Finally Delivered Results After Years of Denials

I worked with Dabdoub Law Firm after years of struggling with New York Life Group over both short- and long-term disability claims, and the experience has been exceptional. Nina took on a complicated situation involving multiple denials across two different claims and two different years, and she han...dled it with a level of precision and commitment that I simply could not get from the insurance carrier. In 2023, I was off work from January through August due to COVID and the severe breathing issues that followed. By late March, I had been diagnosed with severe asthma and had only about 60% lung capacity. I started multiple inhalers and a biologic treatment that can take months to take effect. Despite all of this, NYLG stopped paying my claim in April 2023 based on their internal medical review, insisting I could return to a physically demanding job. My 2025 claim became even more complex. I have been out of work since January dealing with a full cluster of Long COVID symptoms, including persistent respiratory issues, neurological problems, and chronic fatigue that make consistent work impossible. Even after I received a full diagnosis and provided documentation from multiple medical teams, NYLG continued to deny my benefits. That changed once I contacted Dabdoub. Nina didn’t just accept the case-she actively strengthened it. She coordinated independent testing and medical reviews that backed up what my doctors had been saying all along. As a result, NYLG finally approved my long-term disability claim and will be issuing all owed back pay. Nina is now guiding my short-term disability claim from this year, and even helping address the short-term claim from 2023 that was wrongfully denied. After dealing with months-and in some cases years-of setbacks, Nina brought clarity, direction, and results. Her work turned an incredibly difficult situation into something manageable, and for the first time in a long time, I feel like progress is being made. I’m genuinely grateful for her professionalism and dedication.

Excellent Experience

I had an excellent experience with my long-term disability lawyer, Ms. Geannina Burgos at Dabdoub Law Firm. From the start, she was professional and attentive. Ms. Burgos guided me through every step of the process, ensuring I understood my options. Thanks to her expertise, the initially denied long ...term disability claim decision was overturned and approved which led to receiving benefits and ultimately Ms. Burgos negotiated an approved claim buyout. Ms. Burgos and her staff expertise of long-term disability law was impressive, and they fought for my rights. While a client, I felt supported throughout the entire process, and I highly recommend Ms. Geannina Burgos and Dabdoub Law Firm services.

Seek no other!! Nina is the best

I wish I could give 10 stars!! When I tell you the best ever, I mean it. Nina is a very talented creative piece of work. The insurance company tried to deny me and she fought back with such strong technique. She’s extremely educated in the law of disability. My doctor did not want to assist me or sup...port my application. But having such a strong, amazing lawyer, such as Nina, I had no worries throughout the process, she always contacted you, when you reached out. She was always there to assist you. She knows how to give enough information without giving too much information out. These insurance company play extremely sneaky games and Nina was able to assist on my behalf please use Dabdoub Law firm to assist you with your long-term disability claim if you do not know what you are doing, and please do not fight alone. It is extremely worth it. Also, her assistant Sonya was the best as well. I promise hiring Nina to represent you will be the best choice of your life!!!
