Best Disability Lawyer in Miami.

Nina and her staff were extremely competent. All that was required of me was to provide the necessary medical records and information pertinent to my injury and they handled everything. Any time I had questions, Nina or a staff member (Mr. Claudio Reyes) called within less than 24 hours. They ta...ke the time to listen and answer my question with professionalism, and patience. I recommend the lawyer Geannina Burgos and her staff 100%

Very satisfied

Upon my initial contact, the representative from the law firm called me instantly. My case was assigned to an attorney right the way. After my first conversation with Nina Burgos (the assigned attorney), I was very satisfied with her knowledge regarding my situation. She put me at ease and explained ...everything with a great detail. She was very attentive to my needs and stayed with me in a constant communication throughout this entire process. She and her supportive staff were very professional each time we made contact. She kept me in loop while my case has been filed (processed). And with satisfactory results at the end, I could not ask for a better attorney. She took the stress away from me while dealing with the LTD insurance company. I would strongly recommend her to anyone who is fighting for their rights and having issues with long /short term disability payments and insurance companies.

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!!!!

Myasthenia Gravis-Rare disease LTD case (Geannina and her team Won my case)

Atty. Geannia Burgos is very Professional and all my questions were answered and every phone call promptly returned. She made sure that I was always kept aware of any progress on my claim. I filed for LTD insurance myself the first time and was denied. Atty Geannia took my case which a lot of folks ...isn't aware if my disability and she won my case. Her assistant, Janiece was very helpful and prompt on answering my emails. From the bottom of my heart, I thank Atty Geannia for your kindness, understanding and expertise. Absolutely the best lawyer and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
