Wow, what an attorney!

After becoming disabled and being declined by my employer's LTD carrier, I decided to engage with legal counsel. Ms. Burgos was tough as nails, experienced with what I needed, and had a sense of humor too! I thoroughly enjoyed working with her -- as she won my case.

Disability case

After 30 years in medicine, health problems recently forced me to leave medical practice. While I am pretty well versed in medicine, I am hopelessly ignorant (and intimidated) with respect to pursuing a disability claim. The single best thing I did throughout the process was to retain the services ...of Ms. Burgos and her firm. She and her associates have been a wonderful surprise. She is obviously well versed legally; she is also extremely pleasant, attentive, and demonstrates a remarkable degree of patience with an annoying doctor who asks lots of dumb legal questions. Her office staff is wonderfully responsive as well- they usually are able to respond to my questions or concerns on a same day basis. Best of all, they follow through on their promises; cannot give higher praise!

Dedicated and Thorough

I hired Geaninna and Eddie to handle my LTD case. I only wish I hired them sooner in the process, because I had tried to initially appeal a denial on my own. This made my case even more complicated and messy for them to sort through. My medical files were extensive and my multiple conditions are ...complex. This was not an easy case. Yet, I would speak to Geaninna (Nina) and she knew my case so thoroughly that she mentioned parts I had forgotten. It was moments like this that I knew I was in good hands. Additionally, the passion and dedication was evident. I have worked with other attorneys and this was different in a good way. I was more than just a case. I was a person they treated more like family, dedicated to getting me this best possible outcome. They fought hard for me. I wish she could be my attorney for anything I needed in the future. I trust her and this firm.

successful appeal of disability claim denial

This attorney successfully spearheaded my disability claim and appeal of the initial denial. I am very satisfied.

Thank You!

I would definitely recommend the firm. They worked vigorously on my behalf to reach a settlement that was fair. I had a complicated case and although my journey has been rough they assured me in a way that helped me not give up. Thanks so much Nina!

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.
