Long term disability benefits termination appeal

I came across Dabdoub law firm on the I ternerones as I was searching for an effective law firm that could represent me as I was about to be denied while submitting an initial appeal on my own and I knew I need help. I read all the reviews and came across Geanina Burgos a partner at this firm and I w...as very impressed with the reviews that I read and decided to call and she immediately took my call and spoke to me about what to expect and expectations but she was very sure she could win my case. I was still hesitant and decided to continue looking or give it more thought. Three months passed and I went back to read and compare the firm with another firm and this time while reviewing the other firm’s reviews I knew I wanted to work with Geanina Burgos as she had a track record and she knew the work and had experience as she apréciales in long term disability benefits cases. I called again and signed up and I am so happy did because she worked in a short period of time to get my case ready to submit the appeal. Her staff was also very friendly and responsive as well as organized. They kept me informed at every step of my case. It did not matter that she is in Florida and I am in california. Although my appeal was denied we went through mediation where she really negotiated my case and I settled for a nice amount I never thought I could get. I am so happy and thankful to Geanina for all she has done to take care of me. I highly recommend Geanina Burgos for long term disability cases because she is experienced in this area, she is very smart, she work hard to get your case resolved and she does not give you the run around and she is so secured and honest that you can be at peace that you have the right lawyer looking out for your interests. Thank you Geanina and thank you to your staff for all you have done for me. I appreciate you!

Highly recommend!

I required representation regarding a long term disability appeals claim. My previous denial for benefits was reversed and awarded to me because of the excellent handling of my case. The firm was thorough, kept me well informed all along the way, and answered questions promptly. After seeing all the ...details they saw to while ensuring my appeal was properly filed, I realized how valuable their services were. I’m very satisfied and would highly recommend!

Geannina A. Burgos, DABDOUB LAW FIRM fought hard for me

I suffered a head injury after being rear ended on my way to work, initially, I didn’t realize how severely injured I was. Within a couple of days, I developed severe nausea, dizziness, and migraines. I could not work. I had long-term disability insurance through my work. The insurer even agreed to ...pay me my benefits. Then, a year later, they denied my claim. I needed help and after speaking to several attorneys in the DC metro, I found the perfect firm, and attorney, in FL to handle my case. Geannina Burgos, DABDOUB LAW FIRM provided excellent communication and guidance throughout the legal process. They filed a lawsuit against my insurance company. When I had to move across the country due to my financial situation, they arranged for me to appear at a mediation via Zoom so that I would not need to travel, something I could not afford. Geannina helped me through the litigation and mediation process. I could not have made it without her. After 5 hours mediation, we settled my claim. I cannot overemphasize just how great of a job Geannina and her firm did for me. I highly recommend them and I’m grateful for their personal approach and the outstanding outcome.

Nina is a great advocate

I feel lucky to have found Nina. She’s competent and empathetic. She’s handling my case remotely because I don’t work or live in the same state as her office. Ask her questions and she will answer you honestly. I hope to never need another disability lawyer, but I would contact Nina right away if... the need ever arises. I would highly recommend her to my family and friends. I might not have gotten any of my benefits if it wasn’t for Nina because I originally underestimated the insurance companies tactics to avoid paying benefits for which I have been paying premiums to for years. Once I hired Nina she handled all of the contact with the insurance company. I feel confident that I have a true advocate with Nina.

Simply the Best !

When private insurance company terminated my disability, I was lucky to find Nina to handle my disability appeal. She wasn't recommended to me by anyone, I found her on my own when researching LTD attorneys based on the users reviews .After first phone conversation with her my husband said that he th...inks that Nina is extremely knowledgeable on LTD. And now I know for sure that this is true. She is brilliant in her field, always proactive, very patient and professional. When you talk to her, you feel that you are in good hands: she explains you the strategy, explain all the details, answer all your questions. With Nina’s hard work, my disability was reinstated after 7 month. We are very grateful to Nina and her paralegal team.
