Professional and Trustworthy

I’m so glad Nina was assigned to my case. Employer Short and Long Term Disability insurance is a difficult at best and as much as your case worker says they are for you, they are not. I originally spoke with Nina after searching for lawyers inline. She is very upfront and honest. Nina is very custome...r focused and does what is best for you. Everything she told me about the process was spot on. Without going into great detail, my STD insurance was held up but very close to a decision. When I signed up with her to represent me and she notified the insurance company, they immediately approved payment. Nina then advocated with her partners to consider only the Long Term Disability case, since there was minimal involvement saving me several hundred dollars. In the short time, Nina and her team has been involved in my case, they have already gotten me approved for LTD. I look forward to working with her for the maintenance of my case. The headache of dealing with the insurance company is gone. It’s refreshing to work with someone with integrity who actually cares for their customer. Thank you 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.

Attorney Geannina Burgos - Excellent!

Geannina (Nina) at DABDOUB Law is a highly seasoned, savvy & stellar attorney! She worked diligently on my complex LTD case with a high profile Insurance Company and helped me win a settlement well before it went to trial. Even if it wound up at trial I had only great expectations that she would go ...the extra mile on my behalf! I highly recommend her. The staff there were very pleasant and professional and I always got a prompt response to any concerns or questions. THANK YOU NINA!!!

She won my case!

Nina worked diligently on my LTD case, and won it for me. The insurance then cut me off and she won my case with them again. I am grateful for all the hard work done on this so I was able to get the benefits I need.

Excellent representation!

I engaged Nina and her team regarding a long-term disability claim due to health issues. Nina had a detailed and unique approach to make sure that the insurance company understood the extent of my disability. It was definitely a difficult case and she was always responsive, thorough, and empathetic ...towards me as her client. I highly recommend her as someone who’s tenacious, knowledgeable, and supportive of her clients.
