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.

I highly recommend Geannina and Dabdoub Law Firm!

Geannina “Nina” Burgos at Dabdoub Law Firm is knowledgeable, empathetic, and very thorough. She fought and successfully negotiated a settlement for me with my LTD insurance. I felt that she genuinely cared and was a real spit fire on my behalf. Thank you Nina and the Dabdoub team! I highly recommend... the Dabdoub Law Firm!

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.

Disability Law

Thanks to Geannina (Nina) Burgos and the entire team at Dabdoub Law firm I was able to successfully win both my short- and long-term disability case. From the day they took my case the entire team was on point with researching and corresponding with my insurance company. The insurance company delay...ed my case multiple times, including providing denials, and the team did not back down. They were tenacious and provided evidence and documentation that could not be refuted by the insurance company. Nina was kind and prompt in keeping in touch with me regarding details of my case. Thank you so much for standing by my side and assuring that my claims were rightfully settled.

Tough, Effective and Caring LTD Attorney

Nina is an excellent attorney to have on your side when you are struggling with health issues and are unable to work. The disability insurance system is broken and the giant, powerful insurance companies don't have your best interests in mind. Trying to recover and survive is hard enough, and dealing... with an insurance denial of LTD benefits is a heavy burden for someone who is trying to handle multiple stressors resulting from disabling injuries. Nina got my LTD benefits approved after a denial and the outcome was much better than I had expected. I owe her and her team my deepest gratitude for their effective and compassionate help during my difficult time. They made a deeply confusing and arbitrary process simple by breaking down what tasks they needed me to do and they handled the rest of it. I highly recommend Nina and her team because of their responsiveness, the ease of working with them, and the way they kept me informed of what I needed to know without overwhelming me with everything.
