PHENOMENAL!!!

Armed with a few doctors’ letters stating I should receive Long Term Disability (LTD), I initially took on my LTD provider alone … and failed miserably. With my denial letter in hand, I went searching for law firms to represent me for the appeal. After interviewing several attorneys, I decided to go ...with Geannina “Nina” Burgos at Dabdoub Law Firm and am EXTREMELY happy with my decision. Throughout the process, I witnessed their outstanding professionalism and knowledge navigating through the layers of the LTD appeal. All throughout, I felt that they truly cared about me, my situation, and were working in my best interest – which is a BIG deal when you are already mentally and physically ill and trying to battle insurance giants. Nina’s appeal letter was phenomenal and resulted in my insurance company overturning its denial within less than four weeks after receipt of the appeal and the evidence Nina provided. Put your trust with Dabdoub Law Firm, Nina, and Sonya – they have their exceptional Google ratings for a reason.

Secured Long Term Disability from age 58-67.

We were extraordinarily lucky to find Geannina Burgos, after 3 other disability attorneys failed to provide any information/answers to our questions. She was most interested in our case, reviewing 5 extensive documents, and spent several hours with us over a couple of days. We found her to be very ...thorough and extremely well versed in all aspects of disability law, including ERISA. She is thoughtful, compassionate, and truly wanted to help us above all else. She secured our financial future through her diligent work ethic and knowledge, and we cannot recommend her enough.

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.

Thank you so very much… You Rock!!

Thank you, thank you Nina & Sonya! When I first contacted you I was scared and felt hopeless, due to the actions of my LTD insurance company. You put my mind at ease from the onset, and always took the time for my many *many* questions. Your knowledge and keeping me updated is so appreciated & finall...y we won!!

Myasthenia Gravis-Rare disease LTD case (Geannina and her team Won my case)

Atty. Geannia Burgos is very Professional and all my questions were answered and every phone call promptly returned. She made sure that I was always kept aware of any progress on my claim. I filed for LTD insurance myself the first time and was denied. Atty Geannia took my case which a lot of folks ...isn't aware if my disability and she won my case. Her assistant, Janiece was very helpful and prompt on answering my emails. From the bottom of my heart, I thank Atty Geannia for your kindness, understanding and expertise. Absolutely the best lawyer and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
