Knowledge and Confident

On my very first call to Dabdoub Law Firm I was immediately connected to Kevin Schaffer. He asked have you been denied, what did they send, what did they say, did they ask you to do this, all within the first few minutes of the call, regardless if I engaged his services he was already helping me. We ...then discussed the process of my employer’s disability insurance company, of which he was also very familiar and explained that multiple things were going on there as they were completing an acquisition. As a previous business leader this all made complete sense and I needed someone who knew all of this and their processes which immediately put me at ease. Finally he actually knew about the chronic disease I am diagnosed with, has had other clients with the same and knew what would need to be done to put together the proper rebuttal. Eight months later I have now been approved. I always had the confidence he knew what was going on and would manage anything that came up. Kevin is extremely knowledgeable and successful in his field as shown by all his success.

I FOUND REAL HELP WITH KEVIN!

I was diagnosed with chronic heart failure.... I needed my short term disability and felt I was in no condition to deal with reading the insurance policy nor claim docs and interviews etc. since most of the time fatiqued, dizzy and with nausea not to mention foggy brain function from all my meds. I c...onsulted a few attorneys and finally was impressed and hired KEVIN SCHAEFER. Without a doubt a nice person! He returned my call and replied to my emails promptly ! He filed the claim. Process took a while but all payments due have been paid. Subsequently transitioned to long term care policy and that also took a while but claim was approved on 4/26. I'm a feisty old lady its difficult to earn my trust but I TRUST KEVIN he earned my trust with his honesty. THANK YOU KEVIN

Kevin helped me fight a denied disability claim

Initially, I approached Kevin to discuss my case and see what it could be done. I was impressed with his experience in helping others in similar cases. He successfully help me to get the short and long term disability approved. I highly recommend his services in fighting the insurance system.

Quality time, patience, reassurance, and honesty are Kevin’s keys to success

I was referred to Attorney Kevin Schaefer in July of 2021. After speaking on the phone for quite some time, I realized he was the attorney I wanted on my side to go up against the insurance company that had discontinued my disability benefits. Attorney Schaefer told me about the realities and difficu...lties of fighting this battle. He gave me honest statistics, and reassured me that he would do everything in his power to help me. The process was exhausting for me, but every phone call or email from Attorney Schaefer or member of his attentive staff, helped alleviate some stress and anxiety. The hardest part for me through this whole thing was the physical assessment test where I was to be pushed to my limits. I had so many fears of the pain this would cause. Attorney Schaefer talked with me several times at length about this test because of those fears. The advice he gave me changed my fear to empowerment. He said “just do your best.” I repeated those words to myself over and over again during the days leading up to the test, and all the way through it. Trust the process. Be honest with yourself and the people you are working with, and do your best. We won the appeal! Thank you all for helping me get my life back on track financially.

Your 1st choice for Disability Insurance Legal Support

I can honestly say Attorney Kevin Schaefer and Dabdoub Law Firm of Coral Gables, FL have exceeded my expectations in the appeal of my long term disability insurance denial by my employer's insurance company. I spoke with the actual attorney from the beginning and not a "screener" like the 4 other la...w firms vying for my business. Every communication was direct and fruitful. The advice they gave me to get an independent physical therapist evaluation proved fruitful and personally insightful. But the real value in Kevin Schaefer and the Dabdoub Law Firm was in their belief in my case and willingness to risk it all at trial if necessary as well as their ability to negotiate directly with the insurance company for a satisfactory settlement. In fact, in the end we received more than I expected to get. Also, the attorneys fees to accomplish the settlement were minimal. I give attorney Kevin Schaefer and Dabdoub Law Firm my highest recommendation. Sincerely, Thomas G. Crane
