Highly Recommend

From the first time I spoke to Nina, she put my nerves at ease. I was totally comfortable with her. She believed in me and my medical condition wholeheartedly. She advised me on which documents were needed for my case. There was a time when I asked myself whether or not all the effort was worth i...t. That’s a question most of us disabled people ask themselves. Especially when our health limits us to only a minimal amount of up time. Nina was a big reason why I kept at it. Her knowledge of the case law with regard to my case was impressive. She was able to secure a win in my case. If you give Nina a call, you won’t be disappointed. I’m positive she will do her best to secure a win for you.

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!

Fantastic attorney

I hired Nina to handle my LTD appeal. I was immediately impressed with the fact that she spoke to me directly right away before I was required to submit any information. She was personable and professional which made the decision to retain her services very easy. Communication was clear, prompt and e...fficient along the way and I was given precise recommendations for the things we needed to obtain in order to successfully file an appeal. This was my first experience hiring an attorney and she made what could have been a very stressful experience a comfortable one and we obtained a positive outcome. I have nothing but good things to say about my experience with Ms. Burgos!

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!

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
