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.

Excellent Attorney and Extraordinarily Kind Person

I must say, I am feeling quite emotional and overcome with gratitude as I write this review. I suddenly became very ill in 2015, just as I was excelling at a job I truly enjoyed. Additionally, I was working on my MBA and had lofty career goals. My husband and I, after years of working to put ourselve...s in a position to buy a house, were finally starting to see a better future on the horizon. I can’t say I know what triggered my illness, but I became extremely ill. I toughed it out for nearly two years, seeking every possible treatment I could find. Finally, my body gave up and I knew I couldn’t push through another day. When I filed a claim with my long-term disability carrier, I expected that coverage to keep me afloat until I (hopefully) healed and could return to work. It didn’t exactly happen that way. Months after denying my claim, the insurance company sent me for an Independent Medical Evaluation and after a thorough examination, the doctor’s report proved sufficient to certify my disability and the denial was reversed. Unfortunately, about 7 months later, I was asked to attend another IME. I will spare you the details, but suffice it to say that the doctor who conducted the IME had already made his judgement before ever having met me. As a result, my claim was closed without warning, leaving me absolutely financially devastated. I wrote letter after letter; filed complaints with every agency I could find think of and yet, the insurance company would not budge. In my arrogance, I had been so convinced that I didn’t need an attorney. I thought, “I’m intelligent enough that I can do this on my own”. I was so wrong! Finally, after calling several local attorneys and being told by snooty receptionists that they either did not handle private LTD claims or being promised a return phone call that never came, I resorted to my old pal, Google. That was when I discovered the Dabdoub Law Firm. I picked up the phone thinking it would be a fruitless effort, but the person who answered actually spoke to me at length and truly listened to my story. Within days, I had spoken with Geannina Burgos, Esq., and built a rapport that inspired such confidence that I retained her services immediately. Geannina was kind, attentive, knowledgable, and TRULY sympathetic. She never patronized me, and she was honest from day one about what to expect from the process. I was very impressed by how easily accessible Nina and her paralegal team were. They happily answered my (many) questions and kept me informed throughout the entire process. As a person, Nina is a diamond in the rough. She is brilliant, easy to talk to, and very relatable. I felt like I could tell her anything. In fact, I often vented about the personal issues that had resulted from my struggle with the insurance company, and she was always there to listen and reassure. It was obvious that she cares very much for her clients, and that she feels a sense of obligation to protect them from the very broken system of long term disability insurance claims management. As an attorney, she is a wizard. Without disclosing my personal details, let me just say that the final outcome of my battle with the insurance company was exponentially better than I had expected it to be. I never felt pushed by Nina to take the path of least resistance, though that could have resulted in her receiving her fees much sooner. She wanted ONLY to do what was best for me. And she did. She made me whole again. For that, I owe her a debt of gratitude and I will always consider her a guardian angel of sorts. Please, if you do not think you need an attorney to deal with insurance claims, trust me, you absolutely DO. Save yourself the stress and time that I sacrificed trying to navigate the system alone. Hire someone to advocate for you. For me, Geannina Burgos was the perfect choice, and I highly recommend her services to anyone who is being victimized by the cruelty and indifference of the disability insurance system.

Outstanding and Empathetic Disability Attorney

Nina was incredibly supportive through a long and arduous disability case and brought hope to my husband and I during very challenging times. With her guidance, hard work, and negotiating skill, she got us a settlement that will be a huge help to me being able to focus on moving forward with medical ...treatment and healing. She was a God-sent woman.

THE Insurance attorney to have on your side!

Geannina A. Burgos is absolutely the right attorney to have on your side for cases involving Disability Insurance/Appeals/Litigation. Upon receiving news from my insurance company that they were going to discontinue my benefits, I immediately reached out to Nina(Geannina). She was quick to act on my ...behalf and very thorough. She knew exactly what they were trying to pull and seemed to be ahead of them every step of the way. Communication with her and the law firm was great. The staff was easy to talk to and were always up-to-date on my case. At times, it seemed like I’d see no end to the Insurance company’s charades. Thanks to Nina and her tenacity, we were able to get my benefits reinstated. Thank You Nina!
