Very impressive

After UNUM abruptly stopped My LTD benefits I was overcome with Emotions, the fear of no income, the anger of them simply deciding to categorize My illness and stop payments and the severe stress of never being in this position and not knowing who to turn to for Help or what to do next. I decided to ...search around for an attorney and Pray, a lot. My Wife came across Dabdoub Law Firm‘s website and immediately My gut feeling told Me to contact them. I can honestly say it was one of the best moves of My Life! They immediately put Me at ease w/My situation, I gave Dabdoub Law Firm some paperwork they requested and they immediately went to work. My appeal didn’t take long and UNUM restarted My claim. I am completely impressed at the professionalism of Dabdoub Law Firm and the results they achieved on My behalf!!! Thank you Nina and the office of Dabdoub Law Firm.

The elite of Lawyers the haut monde of Florida

I have been in a executive role for over 20 years never dreaming that I would ever get hurt at work but the whole situation was a fluke. The once the greatest asset to the company became the company's greatest liability and how quickly can we get rid of this once shining star. I felt the pressure as ...soon as i got a note from the doctor saying I could only work half a days until they could figure out what is wrong I begin to feel the pressure. I immediately started searching Law Firms. I looked into Ms. Burgos track record and realized don't judge a book by its cover because Nina is a Pit Bull and she will fight for your rights when most Attorneys would give up. I will not mention the pain I am in but Ms. Burgos is not just a Lawyer, she is more knowledgeable about pain then you know. We had a heart to heart about my pain and all I will say is she talked me off the edge of the building to wait, to be patience. I did what she said and that is why I am writing this and happy to be able to say she has encouraged me to keep up a positive attitude no matter what and I am so happy to say she and her colleges Won the day for me today! I cannot put into simple words over the years of battle and the relationship I have with Ms. Burgos and her colleges has been through thick and thin and I do not think other lawyers would be so dedicated. If you want a lawyer who cares and will be there for the long run, then I would not recommend any other Lawyer than Geannina Andrea Burgos she is the Best!

Helpful and energetic

If you've lived with long–term disability, or known anyone who ever has, you know that sometimes it can be dark, lonely, and frustrating. Insurance companies work for their bottom line, and medical professionals and their admin teams struggle with filling out and sending paperwork. Gina Burgos helped... me cut through all that, get some help, and get some answers. Her team supported her quickly and effectively; always energetic, always understanding, and always willing to listen and provide real, actionable advice – and not just platitudes or empty outrage – she was an absolute pleasure to work with, speak with, and even laugh with. Honestly – real talk – she helped change my life.

Cigna STD and LTD

I wish I could give more than 5 stars but that's as high as I am able to rate the professionalism, kindness and sincere compassion that has been given to me during my journey to obtain my STD and LTD from Cigna, with the most astonishing help from Nina! Without her help and devotion to both my STD an...d LTD case I do not believe I would have been approved for both! Though I brought my case with barley a week to send in my appeal, Nina was able to get the appeal typed up and sent in and my STD was approved within a week. A few weeks later my LTD was approved. If you need a dependable attorney who is compassionate about what she does then I would recommend Nina Burgos's.
