PHENOMENAL!!!

Armed with a few doctors’ letters stating I should receive Long Term Disability (LTD), I initially took on my LTD provider alone … and failed miserably. With my denial letter in hand, I went searching for law firms to represent me for the appeal. After interviewing several attorneys, I decided to go ...with Geannina “Nina” Burgos at Dabdoub Law Firm and am EXTREMELY happy with my decision. Throughout the process, I witnessed their outstanding professionalism and knowledge navigating through the layers of the LTD appeal. All throughout, I felt that they truly cared about me, my situation, and were working in my best interest – which is a BIG deal when you are already mentally and physically ill and trying to battle insurance giants. Nina’s appeal letter was phenomenal and resulted in my insurance company overturning its denial within less than four weeks after receipt of the appeal and the evidence Nina provided. Put your trust with Dabdoub Law Firm, Nina, and Sonya – they have their exceptional Google ratings for a reason.

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.

Highly recommend Attorney Geannina Burgos at Dabdoub Law Firm

Geannina just recently represented me on my long term disability appeal and she won my case and had my benefits reinstated within 3 months. She knew exactly what the insurance company needed in order to prove my case. Due to my situation she was also very thoughtful and was able to do this in a ver...y cost effective way. Geannina is very thorough and extremely well versed in all aspects of disability law, including ERISA. She and her team are so kind and very responsive to any questions. They kept me updated during the entire process. I now have peace of mind knowing that she continues to be there to advocate and represent me if needed. I am truly grateful to have her as my attorney.

LTDBL claim

I was represented by the Daboub Law Firm, specifically Geannina Burgos, J.D., M.B.A. (Nina), Disability Insurance & ERISA Attorney. My case involved depression and anxiety, rather than a physical disability. I initially tried to apply for LTDBL benefits on my own, was rejected, appealed and rejecte...d again. I then found the Daboub Law Firm and, after much negotiation including the filing a lawsuit, they were able to obtain a settlement that was satisfactory to me. Nina was very kind, upfront and detail-oriented. My only regret was that I did not have her representing me at the start. Thank you Nina and Daboub Law Firm for your fine work!!

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.
