Long term disability benefits termination appeal

I came across Dabdoub law firm on the I ternerones as I was searching for an effective law firm that could represent me as I was about to be denied while submitting an initial appeal on my own and I knew I need help. I read all the reviews and came across Geanina Burgos a partner at this firm and I w...as very impressed with the reviews that I read and decided to call and she immediately took my call and spoke to me about what to expect and expectations but she was very sure she could win my case. I was still hesitant and decided to continue looking or give it more thought. Three months passed and I went back to read and compare the firm with another firm and this time while reviewing the other firm’s reviews I knew I wanted to work with Geanina Burgos as she had a track record and she knew the work and had experience as she apréciales in long term disability benefits cases. I called again and signed up and I am so happy did because she worked in a short period of time to get my case ready to submit the appeal. Her staff was also very friendly and responsive as well as organized. They kept me informed at every step of my case. It did not matter that she is in Florida and I am in california. Although my appeal was denied we went through mediation where she really negotiated my case and I settled for a nice amount I never thought I could get. I am so happy and thankful to Geanina for all she has done to take care of me. I highly recommend Geanina Burgos for long term disability cases because she is experienced in this area, she is very smart, she work hard to get your case resolved and she does not give you the run around and she is so secured and honest that you can be at peace that you have the right lawyer looking out for your interests. Thank you Geanina and thank you to your staff for all you have done for me. I appreciate you!

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.

Great Lawyer

My lawyer, Geannina kept me informed throughout the process. Geannina was extremely courteous and professional, always treated me like a person, not a case. She came through and helped with my appeal. If you’re looking for a lawyer, to help you with an appeal, I highly recommend Geannina.

Excellent Service

Nina is truly amazing. After 11 months of losing hope on getting my appeal favorable, she did an outstanding job and my appeal was ruled favorable within 3 weeks of being filed. Nina took all of the stress and worry off my plate. And knowing that I have her in my corner for the foreseeable future put...s me at ease. I know I am not fighting this battle alone.

Nina

From the second I called Nina @ Dadboud Law Firm I felt relieved and knew from her caring, knowledgeable and professional voice.I Icould and would trust her. My husband and I knew we found the right person. Actually , my husband found Nina's Lawfirm online. We live in Charleston SC and Dadboud lawfi...rm located n Florida. We did not mind having an attorney out of State. I was so grateful they were able to take on my Appeal case. Knowing that they would not have been forthright and honest about the ability of winning... I know they would not have taken the Case. Nina was ALWAYS available by phone or text. Sonya was an integral participant in winning my case too. . Trust Nina at DABDOUB. Thank you for all you all did to ein my APPEAL
