Helped me when no one else would!

I found Nina through a google search after contacting several local lawyers. I had repeatedly been turned away after a brief explanation of my situation. When I called Nina's firm I was initially turned away by the person that takes the information. But the Nina read his notes and decided to call me ...to ask more questions. She listened while I explained my situation in detail and decided that I did have a case. I am so thankful that Nina took that extra time to call and talk to me. To me it proved she cares about people and not just taking easy cases. I would highly recommend hiring Nina.

The lawyer for you

My very first encounter with the Dabdoub Law Firm was a conversation with a lawyer. Of course, I had been comparison shopping for a law firm, and Geannina Burgos was the only lawyer who actually spoke with me. This was the first "difference" I noticed about the law firm and Gina, She let me ask many... questions and responded to ,y questions with patience, understanding, and without " speaking down" at me. She took my next couple of phone calls and was so personable and understanding that I HAD to hire her to help me win my case, which she did. Quite frankly, even if I would have lost I would still be writing this review of Gina. I felt like we were partners fighting together to win. All along the way, even with a hurricane hitting, during our appeal time frame, she stayed on top of my case. She was professional but yet easy to talk to. She was empathetic towards my situation She understood I had good/bad days and knew the best way to contact me was via email. She made the process of dispensing the earnings very easy. I cannot say enough good things about her. She renewed my faith in lawyers If you need or like a lawyer who will partner with you, is personable, empathetic, reliable and dedicated Geannina Burgos is the lawyer for you!!

EXCELLENT!

I love the treatment that I have received at this law office. When your health does not allow you to work and you have not income, you think you are fine, because you have disability insurance, then you find out your disability insurance company does all they can, to avoid paying your benefits; that... is when you need someone that cares and is competent and willing to fight for your rights, I found that person, Attorney ...GEANNINA A. BURGOS......She did what I couldn't do on my own: She got the Insurance Co. to pay me the benefits they owe me... I am grateful for her help.. If you having trouble dealing with an insurance co... call GIANNINA....She will fight for your rights.

Highly Skilled and Exceptionally Compassionate

Nina and her assistant Sonja could not have been more helpful in handling my case. Faced with progression of a rare disease and unable to work after a near 30 year career, I was denied disability benefits through my employer. I did not have the physical or mental capacity to appeal and apply by mysel...f. After reading some reviews, I contacted Dabdoub Law Firm. My call was taken immediately, questions were answered, and I was put directly through to Nina. To my surprise, she was even quite familiar with my illness. She was kind and compassionate from the start. I have found this to be true for both her and her assistant, Sonja, as well as the entire staff I have been in contact with. They were by far the most professional of any of the offices I initially contacted. Nina and Sonja handled my case with efficiency and skill. They took control and assured me I could quit worrying and start focusing on my treatment. They made certain everything was in place and kept me informed every step of the way. Over the course of these months, I feel as if I have been treated like family. They have always been available to answer my many questions and reassure me, even when I was not functioning the best. They were able to get my short term benefits reinstated and get my long term benefits approved. Nina was very knowledgeable about my condition and took the time to talk to me about how it affects my life. They handled all the communication from the insurance so I did not receive any more calls, mail, or requests for information from them. That had been a huge source of stress for me. Nina and Sonja handled every detail, and I have no doubt I could not have received my benefits without them. They are continuing to work on my behalf to be sure the benefits are not disrupted as they were before. I am so grateful to have found Nina to take this over for me and fight for the benefits I earned over the course of my employment.
