Highly Recommend Ms. Burgos!!!

It is my honor to highly recommend Ms. Burgos and her legal team. She represented me in a long-term disability case. She listened attentively, was compassionate, answered all my questions, and was extremely knowledgeable and responsive. I am very grateful to Ms. Burgos for a quick, and positive re...solution to my case.

Nicholas M. Pallotta

Honestly I'll start off just saying that from minute one, the whole Dabdoub law firm she was working with was very cordial and receptive from the beginning. I called them after attempting to get assistance from two other firms, to which I will simply state that my "Free Consultation" with one of them... lasted 5 minutes and I was told I had no idea what I was talking about. Anyways, after calling Dabdoub and actually having the opportunity to be heard, we exchanged files, documents, claim forms, etc. Which all went super smooth. Contact was a really large concern for me as my legal problem had been made worse several times by misinformation, or simply the lack of it altogether. Continuing on, I got fully assigned/set up and spoke to Geannina, who kindly gave me a rundown of how Long-Term Disability cases typically go, how they would help, who they were reaching out to and talking with, and really by the end of the first phone call I couldn't think of a single question she hadn't already answered for me. Needless to say, I felt like she "grabbed the case by the horns" so to say and just felt reassured for the first time in a while that things would be handled properly. As time went on there were some basics back and forth, and any time she was busy assisting elsewhere I felt her team supported her greatly. The one I became familiar with was Janiece, and I feel noteworthy as she did an awesome job of helping me sort out some groundwork and move the case along. All the while, still eager to help if I had any questions. All in all, if I ever needed another legal matter settled or even just looked at in general, I'd toss my hat in her corner 100%. And just to think. At the time of my case I was and am from/in an entirely different state than her. So take it for what it's worth, a lawyer who can handle cases cross-country and still keep up with everything else. I may have taken too many characters with my review, however I felt it necessary to use them as such. Also, you gave me 4000 characters aaaand she's a cool, worthwhile lawyer so there.

The Genuine Article

I first approached Geannina unsure if my case had any merit. After hearing me out she gave me an honest assessment where I stood legally and offered up helpful advice. Once we got into the thick of it, she was a real pro interfacing with my team of doctors and always had a willingness to listen to my... long-winded updates, and even the occasional venting about how unfair and ridiculous my whole situation had become. I have no idea how she was able to take a very unfair situation and turn the tide in my favor but I'm indebted to her tenacity and willingness to do what it takes to get the job done. If I had to do it all over again, Geannina would be my "go to" attorney. She deserves all the accolades she can get.

Grateful to Ms. Burgos

Ms. Burgos was assigned to be insurance case, which to me seemed helpless. She patiently explained how the law works and was always honest about the possible results. She always took the time to personally keep me updated and/or return my calls. I never felt like “just another client” to her. In addi...tion to her expertise, she made sure she understood what my personal picture looked like. She went well above the call of duty to ensure my family and I were served some type of justice. We will be forever grateful to Nina and the entire Dabdoub Law Firm. God bless you all.

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.
