Thank you so very much… You Rock!!

Thank you, thank you Nina & Sonya! When I first contacted you I was scared and felt hopeless, due to the actions of my LTD insurance company. You put my mind at ease from the onset, and always took the time for my many *many* questions. Your knowledge and keeping me updated is so appreciated & finall...y we won!!

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.

Professional Competence

My case was a complicated one to say the least. I'd spoken to a few attorneys in my state on the west coast, and went over the particulars of my case. I knew I was due disability benefits, but my ex-employer was denying me from every angle possible. The separation was NOT amicable. I chose her becaus...e of the 3 I was deciding between, she was the only one who was hands down confident and could speak to the nuances of the case having argued many of the intricacies herself. I couldn't have been happier I made the decision! Though the insurance company did everything they could to avoid paying, she ultimately was able to secure a monetary resolution for me, that was 3 times what I would have been happy with! She shredded the insurance company's arguments with little difficulty. During the entire process, I was consistently kept in the loop and if I had any questions, I had a response within a day. Her firm was exceedingly professional, and though she was on leave for a time during the case, she ensured the lawyer that was standing in for her was well versed on the case and was able to make critical progress. Progress that, when it really came down to it, was a critical factor between whether or not I was going to receive the money I was due. I would highly recommend her in general, but if your case is remotely complicated, with an end result that was in doubt, you couldn't choose a better lawyer to represent you and your best interests! Thank You again Nina!!!!
