Grateful to Ms. Burgos

Ms. Burgos was assigned to be insurance case, which to me seemed helpless. She patiently explained how the law works and was always honest about the possible results. She always took the time to personally keep me updated and/or return my calls. I never felt like “just another client” to her. In addi...tion to her expertise, she made sure she understood what my personal picture looked like. She went well above the call of duty to ensure my family and I were served some type of justice. We will be forever grateful to Nina and the entire Dabdoub Law Firm. God bless you all.

Appreciation

When I needed an attorney to help me with my LTD denial. I decided to go online. Ms. Geannina Burgo from Dabdoub Law Firm contacted me about my issue that I had. I explained everything to her. When she said she would help me, I was so happy and bless I didn't know what to do. Ms. Burgos kept in ...contact with me about my case. Ms. Burgos gave me the upmost respect, not just as a client but as a person which made me feel appreciated. I'm so grateful and bless that I had Ms. Burgos as an attorney. Ms. Burgos is a pleasant person to talk with. I will always remember her, if I need an attorney again and recommend her to anyone that needs as attorney. Ms. Burgos is an awesome attorney, she never gave up on my case. Thank you very much Lindy

Thank you Geannina Andrea Burgos and the team at Dabdoub Law firm.

My family and I would are forever thankful to Geannina Burgos (Nina) for the positive outcome of my disability case against Prudential. Nina and her team were always professional, dedicated and compassionate towards me. Besides being extremely knowledgeable, Nina showed empathy toward me and my dis...ability. Thanks to Nina, my family and I can now concentrate on my health care issues without the added stress of having to worry about the insurance aspect of any illness. We will gladly and graciously recommend the law firm of Dabdoub and in particular the services of attorney Geannina Andrea Burgos.

The best defense is a strong defense

I would like to start this review by saying that not only was Geannina, a diligent attorney but a kind human being that took personally the wrong that my insurance company was doing to me. She left no room for doubt as to why my appeal should be accepted, every document, medical request, and personal... information she request was a building block that assured me i was in the right hands and that my appeal or case was in the right hands, and i was right. hers is a brilliant legal mind that i recommend hole hardheartedly. I'll end this by expressing my humble appreciation for incredible work and that of her team. thank you.

The help you need when you feel like giving up!!

I was fighting with my short term disability and I was getting absolutely no where. They would not return my calls and never sent me anything by mail that I asked for including my policy and even my denial. The only call I got was the denial call. I had enough so I called DABDOUB Law Firm and I wa...s connected to Geannina Andrea Burgos. Not only did she understand what I was going through but was there to comfort and help me understand how we can fight back to get what I rightfully deserved and what I paid for in premiums. I will say it wasn't any easy process dealing with the disability company with the short term appeal and the long term disability application. These companies do everything in there power to make you feel hopeless and that you give up. I can say that is the wrong choice and with the help of Ms. Burgos you can win against these bullying insurance companies. What made the difference was having someone on my side that new the law and what needed to be done to get them to approve my claim. I even had to undergo a Functional capacity test which really helped my case and could be very beneficial to your case. My job was very labor demanding and my health diagnosis makes it impossible for me to continue this job field and will definitely impact my future employment. But I know I will continue to have Ms. Burgos there to help me with whatever arises in the future. Finally they approved my long term and now believe it or not we have to appeal for the short term cause they did not approve that but we wont give up. I Highly recommend Ms Burgos and Dabdoub Law Firm
