Amazing Hard-Working Attorney

An incredibly hard-working and compassionate attorney. Nina represented me in a very legally complex case, and she illuminated the path forward towards a very positive resolution for my disability rights and rightful benefits. A great law firm with an amazing attorney, my family really are blessed to... have such an attorney working on our behalf.

Words cannot express my gratitude with Ms. Burgos!

I hired Ms. Burgos and her firm regarding a long-term disability appeal with a renowned insurance company that famously denies legitimate disability cases. From my first conversation with Ms. Burgos in June of 2023, she demonstrated the utmost professionalism demonstrating a plethora of knowledge... regarding rare chronic illnesses as well as working with insurance companies. It is clear that Ms. Burgos has a passion for what she does, and she is relentless (in a fantastic way) when it comes to having your claim heard so that you can "move on" with your life with some sort of financial stability. I never ever had an issue with Ms. Burgos or her staff returning my calls or emails in an expedient time frame. When Ms. Burgos states she is going to do something on your case, she will absolutely follow through and let you know how things are going. In fact, I told her on occasion to take a break and have a relaxing weekend with her family....yes, that is how hard she works! My advice to those who are struggling with insurance companies and a disability claim, hire an attorney sooner versus later because it will make this extremely difficult, long process less painful. It is going to be a long process, please don't kid yourself that it will be quick. Mine has been over two years, however having Ms. Burgos and her firm represent me was the best decision I made!

Highly recommend Attorney Geannina Burgos at Dabdoub Law Firm

Geannina just recently represented me on my long term disability appeal and she won my case and had my benefits reinstated within 3 months. She knew exactly what the insurance company needed in order to prove my case. Due to my situation she was also very thoughtful and was able to do this in a ver...y cost effective way. Geannina is very thorough and extremely well versed in all aspects of disability law, including ERISA. She and her team are so kind and very responsive to any questions. They kept me updated during the entire process. I now have peace of mind knowing that she continues to be there to advocate and represent me if needed. I am truly grateful to have her as my attorney.

Gets Results!

Listen! If there is one disability attorney I would recommend it will definitely be Geannina Andrea Burgos. I was referred to her to help with my LTD disability that was abruptly closed. After months of me fighting an appealing their decision I knew I needed help. I am so grateful that Geannina Andre...a Burgos was able to help me get my benefits back in less than 2 months. This is the best Christmas present ever. I was so stressed with fighting the LTD company and my loss of income. Geannina Andrea Burgos ensured me that she would get an answer and get my benefits back either in court or without court. Luckily we did not need to go to court. If j could give 10 stars I would. If you want an attorney that is compassionate, understanding and efficient that gets results look no further.

I highly recommend Geannina and Dabdoub Law Firm!

Geannina “Nina” Burgos at Dabdoub Law Firm is knowledgeable, empathetic, and very thorough. She fought and successfully negotiated a settlement for me with my LTD insurance. I felt that she genuinely cared and was a real spit fire on my behalf. Thank you Nina and the Dabdoub team! I highly recommend... the Dabdoub Law Firm!
