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!

The Right Knowledge and Expertise for Concussion Cases

I was in a car accident that resulted in a concussion and several injuries that prevented me from returning to work. When I needed my benefits, I found the process was not as straightforward as I expected. My concussion made navigating the process, appeals and documentation requirements even more dif...ficult. We did our research and reached out to friends across several law fields to find a trustworthy firm to help us navigate our appeal. Dabdoub came to us with high recommendations on their team and their reputation. I only wish I knew enough to enlist them even earlier, because the peace of mind we gained working with them enabled me to focus on my recovery. Instantly from my first call with Geannina Burgos I was reassured knowing she was on our side. Her experience with concussion cases differentiated her right away, she knew the law so thoroughly, had the right experts and her confidence and support made a very uncertain feeling process less daunting. She was also phenomenal at collaborating with other lawyers on my team. I highly recommend her and the Dabdoub firm.

Long Term Disability Claim

Nina recently won my case without a trial. Her expertise and tenacity for doing what is right for a client was evident during our first conversation. Nina assured me that my case was solid and that she would win back my benefits. Her confidence allowed me to allow her to do what she does best. I ...recommend Nina to anyone in need of LTD legal assistance. She is an intelligent and accomplished attorney and I am happy to have had the pleasure of working with her. Thank you, Nina!

Nina Delivered

I was devastated to receive a denial of benefits letter without warning from Cigna. All benefits disappeared while I was least able to defend myself or my family. I scoured the web, yet choosing an attorney was difficult, as this was an area in which I had little expertise. Prayerfully, I found Nina ...and believed her record of success, integrity, energy, and determination was the right combination. It proved to be. She was able to dissect this complex matter and knew exactly what was indicated for a successful appeal to include additional testing. She managed the timeline effectively. In retrospect I see now that I would not have had a chance at success had I gone it alone. I applaud Nina for her professional expertise and demonstrated wisdom that resulted in a successful appeal.

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.
