The elite of Lawyers the haut monde of Florida

I have been in a executive role for over 20 years never dreaming that I would ever get hurt at work but the whole situation was a fluke. The once the greatest asset to the company became the company's greatest liability and how quickly can we get rid of this once shining star. I felt the pressure as ...soon as i got a note from the doctor saying I could only work half a days until they could figure out what is wrong I begin to feel the pressure. I immediately started searching Law Firms. I looked into Ms. Burgos track record and realized don't judge a book by its cover because Nina is a Pit Bull and she will fight for your rights when most Attorneys would give up. I will not mention the pain I am in but Ms. Burgos is not just a Lawyer, she is more knowledgeable about pain then you know. We had a heart to heart about my pain and all I will say is she talked me off the edge of the building to wait, to be patience. I did what she said and that is why I am writing this and happy to be able to say she has encouraged me to keep up a positive attitude no matter what and I am so happy to say she and her colleges Won the day for me today! I cannot put into simple words over the years of battle and the relationship I have with Ms. Burgos and her colleges has been through thick and thin and I do not think other lawyers would be so dedicated. If you want a lawyer who cares and will be there for the long run, then I would not recommend any other Lawyer than Geannina Andrea Burgos she is the Best!

Cigna STD and LTD

I wish I could give more than 5 stars but that's as high as I am able to rate the professionalism, kindness and sincere compassion that has been given to me during my journey to obtain my STD and LTD from Cigna, with the most astonishing help from Nina! Without her help and devotion to both my STD an...d LTD case I do not believe I would have been approved for both! Though I brought my case with barley a week to send in my appeal, Nina was able to get the appeal typed up and sent in and my STD was approved within a week. A few weeks later my LTD was approved. If you need a dependable attorney who is compassionate about what she does then I would recommend Nina Burgos's.

Great Lawyer

She helped us with my dads case with the insurance... Did a great job always keeping us up to date with the updates! She was bilingual that was great and came in handy because my dad does not speak english! Won the case and got my father as much compensation as she could! We are really thankful with ...nina!

Successful mediation is life changing

Last year I began searching for a national law firm who had experience opposing a very powerful Long Term Disability company. I had my LTD insurance through a major employer and they had begun denying my benefits as no longer a medical necessity. Geanina Burgos (Nina) at Dabdoub Law Firm responded t...o my online inquiry and that is when our relationship began in the fall of 2018. I needed a law firm that would only charge me fees if my case would win. Nina took over all communications with this LTD company and in March of 2019, Dabdoub filed a federal complaint against this powerhouse. I’m pleased to say that in September we settled in mitigation. Above all, my experience with Nina and Dabdoub could be described as professional, kind, compassionate, honest, straight-forward, diligent and extremely patient with me throughout this process. They understood my needs; financial, emotional, and the need to be heard and validated. Most importantly I needed to win and Nina made sure that happened. When, because of hurricane Dorian, our mediation was being rescheduled at the last minute, Nina and her staff took it upon themselves to spend the next 24 hours on the phone mediating on my behalf. She believed in me and fought for my benefits. She was very up-front about my odds of success and realistic settlement amounts. We were more successful than I anticipated and it’s all thanks to the team at Dabdoub. Everything is signed and I’m awaiting the arrival of my settlement check all thanks to Nina and the team at Dabdoub. Winning this case is life-changing for my family. Thanks, Nina!

Highly recommend if your looking for compassionate and trustworthy professional.

I was very hesitant to work with a lawyer out of state. Due to my health i cannot deal with much stress, so I wasn’t sure if I should pursue the case. Nina understood my medical diagnosis and let me know right from the beginning that she would make everything as stress free as possible. She was so ve...ry understanding and easy to talk to. She would reply to my emails right away and went beyond my expectations. I am so very impressed and highly recommend her.
