Extremely Happy

When I learned that after 4 detailed and heavily supported appeals my former Insurance Company were going to dump and leave me to the wolves when they decided they would stop paying my LTD benefits I was completely lost and hadn’t a clue on what I’d do and how I’d continue to go on. Despite concl...usive findings from my treating physicians , the SSDA and highly experienced Industry folks; they concluded that I wasn’t ’disabled enough’! As if I’d needed that kind of doubt and mistreatment after undergoing such a significant and life altering condition. I jumped into the google rabbit hole and after frustrating repeated attempts and talking with a lot firms I found Geannina “Nina” Burgos’ at Dabdoub Law Firm. Immediately I felt heard and validated. Out of the gate she was genuinely empathetic, very detailed in her questioning and was careful to explain what the possibilities were. For someone who didn’t have a clue how this would work I left that conversation feeling optimistic Throughout the process, I experienced outstanding professionalism and knowledge navigating this. At no point did I feel that she didn’t care about me, my situation, and wasnt working in my best interest. I EXTREMELY happy with my decision.

Excellent

I was devastated when my insurance company denied my LTD mental health case after being paid for many years. Nina knew exactly what to do and did not pressure me to make a hasty decision regarding settlement. In the end, I was fairly compensated for my case. She represented me well.

Nina obtained money we could not have gotten on our own

Geannina A. Burgos, with the help of her team, worked hard to obtain a fair settlement for me. Nina had a good understanding of what the possibilities and risk’s were and worked hard to overcome any known risks. Nina is very good at navigating a very complex and daunting process. Nina and her team w...ere on top of things and very responsive and timely in getting things done that needed to happen on time. She reached out to us, rather than us having to chase her down, to get statuses and information about where we were in the process and how it was going. She also made herself available when I asked to speak to her. Nina took the time to answer any questions and concerns my wife and I had and she explained the possible expected results. Dabdoub Law Firm had a great support team during a challenging time of life.

Extremely happy

I was so confused and overwhelmed dealing with the long term disability company. The stress was making my symptoms worse. I am so glad I got Geannina. She knew exactly what to do. I highly recommend her!

Very satisfied

Upon my initial contact, the representative from the law firm called me instantly. My case was assigned to an attorney right the way. After my first conversation with Nina Burgos (the assigned attorney), I was very satisfied with her knowledge regarding my situation. She put me at ease and explained ...everything with a great detail. She was very attentive to my needs and stayed with me in a constant communication throughout this entire process. She and her supportive staff were very professional each time we made contact. She kept me in loop while my case has been filed (processed). And with satisfactory results at the end, I could not ask for a better attorney. She took the stress away from me while dealing with the LTD insurance company. I would strongly recommend her to anyone who is fighting for their rights and having issues with long /short term disability payments and insurance companies.
