Secured Long Term Disability from age 58-67.

We were extraordinarily lucky to find Geannina Burgos, after 3 other disability attorneys failed to provide any information/answers to our questions. She was most interested in our case, reviewing 5 extensive documents, and spent several hours with us over a couple of days. We found her to be very ...thorough and extremely well versed in all aspects of disability law, including ERISA. She is thoughtful, compassionate, and truly wanted to help us above all else. She secured our financial future through her diligent work ethic and knowledge, and we cannot recommend her enough.

Experienced Attorney

Dealing with an insurance company for the first time to secure short-term disability coverage has been unexpectedly challenging. Following a denial, we recognized the necessity of involving an ERISA Attorney to guide us through the appeal process. Through a Google search, we discovered the Dabdoub La...w Firm among a few other options. Despite concerns about being out of state, their experience trumped the distance. After thorough review reading and consultations, Nina truly grasped our requirements. Opting for the Dabdoub Law Firm turned out to be a wise decision, as they swiftly took charge of our appeal process. Thanks to Nina and her team, the short-term disability claim got approved shortly thereafter. As we proceed towards long-term disability, we're hopeful for a similar positive outcome amidst these trying times. We wholeheartedly recommend this professional firm for anyone seeking their expertise.

Geannina Burgos is a great attorney

I was initially skeptical when looking for an ERISA law firm and contacted Attorney Ms. Burgos at Dabdoub Law Firm in Florida - I wondered how we would communicate from a great distance. After speaking with Ms. Burgos I was re-assured it would be seamless. Ms. Burgos is a consummate professional & ...attorney coupled with empathy and a great sense of humor. She is well versed in ERISA law and she and her staff guided me every step of the way. Ms. Burgos and her staff were VERY and immediately responsive to my e-mails and/or calls. In the end she was able to negotiate a good outcome for me. It is without any reservations that I recommend Ms. Burgos for those in need of an attorney for ERISA claims.

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.

I highly recommend Geannina Burgos to anyone in need of legal assistance with Long-Term Disability, SSDI, or ERISA.

After conducting an exhaustive search for attorneys in the South Florida area and writing a methodical comparison that took into consideration cost, benefit, understanding of LTD, SSDI, and ERISA law, and their level of empathy, I am very glad to have chosen Geannina Burgos from Dabdoub Law Firm to r...epresent me. Nina was remarkably familiar with insurance companies and their tactics for unfair denials. She and everyone at her practice were knowledgeable and empathetic about my health and gave me a clear understanding of the process, which can be convoluted and confusing, especially in the time of COVID-19. They did everything necessary to achieve a fair reinstatement of my benefits. They care about patients' well-being and they care about the law. I have no reservation in recommending Geannina Burgos and her practice to anyone in need of legal assistance with Long-Term Disability, SSDI, or ERISA. Thank you, Nina!
