Long Term Disability

I have so much gratitude and appreciation for Nina and her team and how they restored my hope when my long term disability claim was approved. The compassion and understanding that they showed me was such a blessing through an extremely difficult time. I can’t tell you how wonderful it felt t...o have someone with such confidence and excellence take on my case. It really felt like I had a friend who not only cared, but was also standing up and fighting for me when I had lost the will to fight for myself. When it comes to a process that can be extremely complicated, Nina and Sonya are experts. Their knowledge, experience and professional presence are truly outstanding. They are excellent at what they do and will support you every step of the way.

Highly recommend if your looking for compassionate and trustworthy professional.

I was very hesitant to work with a lawyer out of state. Due to my health i cannot deal with much stress, so I wasn’t sure if I should pursue the case. Nina understood my medical diagnosis and let me know right from the beginning that she would make everything as stress free as possible. She was so ve...ry understanding and easy to talk to. She would reply to my emails right away and went beyond my expectations. I am so very impressed and highly recommend her.

Long Term Disability Claim

I was able to speak with Ms. Burgos the same day I first consulted with the firm re: my long term disability claim settlement. Quay immediately connected me with Nina after gathering a few facts on my claim history. Nina expeditiously assessed my case and offered legal guidance and recommendations o...n next steps. She is extremely knowledgeable and explained in detail the possible courses of action available (including ramifications of each) as well as recommendations on how we could work towards prompt resolution and settlement. I was very hesitant in navigating this claim with legal representation but after speaking with Nina, I was comfortable and knew it was the right strategy. It was a pleasure working with Ms. Burgos and I highly recommend and endorse her without hesitation.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
