Best Disability Lawyer in Miami.

Nina and her staff were extremely competent. All that was required of me was to provide the necessary medical records and information pertinent to my injury and they handled everything. Any time I had questions, Nina or a staff member (Mr. Claudio Reyes) called within less than 24 hours. They ta...ke the time to listen and answer my question with professionalism, and patience. I recommend the lawyer Geannina Burgos and her staff 100%

Very satisfied

Upon my initial contact, the representative from the law firm called me instantly. My case was assigned to an attorney right the way. After my first conversation with Nina Burgos (the assigned attorney), I was very satisfied with her knowledge regarding my situation. She put me at ease and explained ...everything with a great detail. She was very attentive to my needs and stayed with me in a constant communication throughout this entire process. She and her supportive staff were very professional each time we made contact. She kept me in loop while my case has been filed (processed). And with satisfactory results at the end, I could not ask for a better attorney. She took the stress away from me while dealing with the LTD insurance company. I would strongly recommend her to anyone who is fighting for their rights and having issues with long /short term disability payments and insurance companies.

LTD claim approved quickly

Geannina and her team were fantastic! They were able to settle my claim quickly, after I had been unsuccessfully fighting the insurance company for months. They went to work on the case immediately, answer all my questions and made me feel like I had professional help in my corner.

Experienced Attorney

Dealing with an insurance company for the first time to secure short-term disability coverage has been unexpectedly challenging. Following a denial, we recognized the necessity of involving an ERISA Attorney to guide us through the appeal process. Through a Google search, we discovered the Dabdoub La...w Firm among a few other options. Despite concerns about being out of state, their experience trumped the distance. After thorough review reading and consultations, Nina truly grasped our requirements. Opting for the Dabdoub Law Firm turned out to be a wise decision, as they swiftly took charge of our appeal process. Thanks to Nina and her team, the short-term disability claim got approved shortly thereafter. As we proceed towards long-term disability, we're hopeful for a similar positive outcome amidst these trying times. We wholeheartedly recommend this professional firm for anyone seeking their expertise.
