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

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.

Effective disability advocate

I consulted with Nina for my father's case against a large private disability firm. After five years of receiving the benefit he paid into we received devastating news that based on a review of the case my father was no longer disabled with an immediate termination. I immediately filed an appeal, req...uested all medical documents and sent a letter disabusing the insurance company of their "facts" of his disabilities. Unfortunately we were unsuccessful and were denied as "their doctors" disagreed. We consulted with a few attorneys all over the country (Illinois, Florida, etc..) Nina's was quick to respond providing a phone consultation. She explained the process in depth, clearly setting our expectations and letting us know her strategy for winning his disability payments back (his entitlement!). Nina was patient and helped to address any concerns we had. She ensured that clear and concise arguments were made for each point of the insurance company's denial was addressed in an irrefutable manner. This was a long and tedious process (all thanks to the insurance company) however we have now received the good news that we have won the case and we didn't have to go to court. The reason why I am mentioning court is that Nina did prepare us for the fact that depending on the responses the insurance company could have brought us to another level of appeal in the court system. This was a concern as we are located in IL and she is located in FL however as I stated earlier Nina was very candid, thorough, and created a great rapport from the very first consult. This gave us the confidence to move forward and we are very happy to provide this feedback in writing for Nina. I hope we never have to do this again however we now know who to call and have the utmost confidence that our case will be handled in the best hands. Thank you very much Nina for all that you have done for my father. I cannot express the gratitude felt for financial burdens that impacted him being lifted.
