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.

PHENOMENAL!!!

Armed with a few doctors’ letters stating I should receive Long Term Disability (LTD), I initially took on my LTD provider alone … and failed miserably. With my denial letter in hand, I went searching for law firms to represent me for the appeal. After interviewing several attorneys, I decided to go ...with Geannina “Nina” Burgos at Dabdoub Law Firm and am EXTREMELY happy with my decision. Throughout the process, I witnessed their outstanding professionalism and knowledge navigating through the layers of the LTD appeal. All throughout, I felt that they truly cared about me, my situation, and were working in my best interest – which is a BIG deal when you are already mentally and physically ill and trying to battle insurance giants. Nina’s appeal letter was phenomenal and resulted in my insurance company overturning its denial within less than four weeks after receipt of the appeal and the evidence Nina provided. Put your trust with Dabdoub Law Firm, Nina, and Sonya – they have their exceptional Google ratings for a reason.

Words cannot express my gratitude with Ms. Burgos!

I hired Ms. Burgos and her firm regarding a long-term disability appeal with a renowned insurance company that famously denies legitimate disability cases. From my first conversation with Ms. Burgos in June of 2023, she demonstrated the utmost professionalism demonstrating a plethora of knowledge... regarding rare chronic illnesses as well as working with insurance companies. It is clear that Ms. Burgos has a passion for what she does, and she is relentless (in a fantastic way) when it comes to having your claim heard so that you can "move on" with your life with some sort of financial stability. I never ever had an issue with Ms. Burgos or her staff returning my calls or emails in an expedient time frame. When Ms. Burgos states she is going to do something on your case, she will absolutely follow through and let you know how things are going. In fact, I told her on occasion to take a break and have a relaxing weekend with her family....yes, that is how hard she works! My advice to those who are struggling with insurance companies and a disability claim, hire an attorney sooner versus later because it will make this extremely difficult, long process less painful. It is going to be a long process, please don't kid yourself that it will be quick. Mine has been over two years, however having Ms. Burgos and her firm represent me was the best decision I made!

Gets Results!

Listen! If there is one disability attorney I would recommend it will definitely be Geannina Andrea Burgos. I was referred to her to help with my LTD disability that was abruptly closed. After months of me fighting an appealing their decision I knew I needed help. I am so grateful that Geannina Andre...a Burgos was able to help me get my benefits back in less than 2 months. This is the best Christmas present ever. I was so stressed with fighting the LTD company and my loss of income. Geannina Andrea Burgos ensured me that she would get an answer and get my benefits back either in court or without court. Luckily we did not need to go to court. If j could give 10 stars I would. If you want an attorney that is compassionate, understanding and efficient that gets results look no further.

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!
