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

I am so thankful that I contacted the DabDoub Law Firm, after speaking to Nina I knew I had made the right decision.

I will gladly recommend Nina Burgos to others in need of counsel. She was very honest about my options and provided me a clear view of what the process would be. I found myself in a hopelessness state before I contacted DabDoub Law Firm. Aetna uprutply terminated my LTD benefits. I made my appeal wi...thout counsel which was a very exhausting process and not realizing the emotional effect that was brewing inside. The outcome was a payout of 2 add'l months and LTD benefits terminated. In the interim I was forced to make a hardship withdrawal of my 401k to continue my healthcare and keep sane. Upon the notice of termination of benefits, I fell into a deep depression that lasted 2 months. One day I cried out to God for help, after praying I was prompted to open a search engine and I found this wonderful law firm that specializes in ERISA. Once I spoke with Nina to explain my situation, she was honest and provided me a clear view of what to expect. I felt at peace when I decided to hire her even though I reside in a different state. I am grateful to Nina for helping me get my settlement and referring me to a social security disability attorney in my state.

Excellent experience

We hired Nina for an appeals case with an insurance company. All we can say is that her team was nothing but complete excellence. They provide great service, they are on top of every detail and they communicate at all times. They won the case for my mother, and we couldn’t be happier. We are extreme...ly grateful to them. Best choice we’ve ever made. Thank you team!!

Long Term Disability Claim

I was able to speak with Ms. Burgos the same day I first consulted with the firm re: my long term disability claim settlement. Quay immediately connected me with Nina after gathering a few facts on my claim history. Nina expeditiously assessed my case and offered legal guidance and recommendations o...n next steps. She is extremely knowledgeable and explained in detail the possible courses of action available (including ramifications of each) as well as recommendations on how we could work towards prompt resolution and settlement. I was very hesitant in navigating this claim with legal representation but after speaking with Nina, I was comfortable and knew it was the right strategy. It was a pleasure working with Ms. Burgos and I highly recommend and endorse her without hesitation.

Excellent Lawyer! Such a pleasure to work with Geannina!

I only have good things to say about Geannina and Dabdoub Lawfirm. It was such a pleasure to work with Geannina and I am so grateful for all of her help. She walked me through every step of the process and made sure I was informed and understood every legal action taken. She was more informative and ...helpful than my doctor at times in navigating the world of post concussive syndrome. Thanks to her I took a neuropsychological evaluation to help my case, but also gave me evidence for myself as well to see how my brain was working/not working post my accident. Dealing with my disability insurance and with my disability was incredibly stressful and frustrating. Geannina took the stress out of the whole situation. I only wish I had called Dabdoub law firm earlier in the process! I am so grateful for all of her work!
