Words cannot express my gratitude with Ms. Burgos!

I hired Ms. Burgos and her firm regarding a long-term disability appeal with a renowned insurance company that famously denies legitimate disability cases. From my first conversation with Ms. Burgos in June of 2023, she demonstrated the utmost professionalism demonstrating a plethora of knowledge... regarding rare chronic illnesses as well as working with insurance companies. It is clear that Ms. Burgos has a passion for what she does, and she is relentless (in a fantastic way) when it comes to having your claim heard so that you can "move on" with your life with some sort of financial stability. I never ever had an issue with Ms. Burgos or her staff returning my calls or emails in an expedient time frame. When Ms. Burgos states she is going to do something on your case, she will absolutely follow through and let you know how things are going. In fact, I told her on occasion to take a break and have a relaxing weekend with her family....yes, that is how hard she works! My advice to those who are struggling with insurance companies and a disability claim, hire an attorney sooner versus later because it will make this extremely difficult, long process less painful. It is going to be a long process, please don't kid yourself that it will be quick. Mine has been over two years, however having Ms. Burgos and her firm represent me was the best decision I made!

A true professional who cares!

Nina is great. This was a very trying time for my family and I. After speaking with a few law firms, I was told to contact Nina. Nina was great. Answered all of my questions and concerns. She was very thorough with my case and took the time to answer my questions. Her staff was equally as respo...nsive and respectful. I am very happy with their efforts and the returns it has paid. I definitely recommend this law firm when you disability is questioned.

Nina obtained money we could not have gotten on our own

Geannina A. Burgos, with the help of her team, worked hard to obtain a fair settlement for me. Nina had a good understanding of what the possibilities and risk’s were and worked hard to overcome any known risks. Nina is very good at navigating a very complex and daunting process. Nina and her team w...ere on top of things and very responsive and timely in getting things done that needed to happen on time. She reached out to us, rather than us having to chase her down, to get statuses and information about where we were in the process and how it was going. She also made herself available when I asked to speak to her. Nina took the time to answer any questions and concerns my wife and I had and she explained the possible expected results. Dabdoub Law Firm had a great support team during a challenging time of life.

Gets Results!

Listen! If there is one disability attorney I would recommend it will definitely be Geannina Andrea Burgos. I was referred to her to help with my LTD disability that was abruptly closed. After months of me fighting an appealing their decision I knew I needed help. I am so grateful that Geannina Andre...a Burgos was able to help me get my benefits back in less than 2 months. This is the best Christmas present ever. I was so stressed with fighting the LTD company and my loss of income. Geannina Andrea Burgos ensured me that she would get an answer and get my benefits back either in court or without court. Luckily we did not need to go to court. If j could give 10 stars I would. If you want an attorney that is compassionate, understanding and efficient that gets results look no further.
