Outstanding client experience start to finish

Kevin did an amazing job of driving the case along to denial overturn which I'm very grateful for. He is very upfront and fully transparent with how the process was going to go and keeping me informed as it progressed. Kevin didn't wait for information to come to him, he proactively addressed the c...ore needs to build a high-quality case that would ultimately end in favorable outcome. His friendly demeanor combined with his laser-like tactical approach to case management is world class. If I ever need legal aid in this area of private disability insurance I will only call upon Kevin!!

Professional Consultation

Mr. Schaefer provided professional consultation and exhibited heartfelt compassion and understanding in answering questions regarding ongoing long term disability and my myriad of debilitating diagnoses. Mr. Schaefer is extremely knowledgeable and is willing to guide you through the process of LTD, ...along with the forms and specifics of what the insurance company deems important. Found him to be very accessible. Highly recommend Mr. Schaefer without any reservation to anyone seeking capable support.

Long Term

Kevin was very professional and really cares about his clients. I explained my condition and living situation with being a single mother with 2 kids and having a medical condition that stops me from taking care of my kids like I use too. He knows the insurance companies very well when it comes to wha...t do. He was consistent with keeping me updated with what's going on with my case. I really love how if you contact him, he will get back with you that same day and if it's after hours, you will certainly get contacted back that next business day. He tells you the truth he doesn't beat around the bush he's honest with you. If I didn't get him to represent me I think I would still be waiting to get approved.

Best ERISA Lawyer Ever!

I was referred to and hired the Dabdoub Law Firm to handle an ERISA matter regarding UnitedHealthCare's refusal to pay the doctor and surgery center for Kyphoplasty surgery, even when my doctor contacted them personally to have the procedure approved and they refused. Mr. Schaefer was extremely nice..., always took my phone calls and answered emails right away. He had to file an appeal and the insurance company finally paid both bills. Winning this appeal saved me thousands of dollars. I work in a law office doing personal injury law. I will refer anyone and everyone to this firm with any insurance problems in the future. I have also advised my doctor to refer people to them where there is a problem with insurance approvals for medical procedures. Mr. Schaefer is knowledgeable and very professional.

Kevin P. Schaefer, Esq.

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your professional assistance with my appeal denial by the Hartford Life and Accident Insurance Company. I was very stressed out and felt overwhelming hopelessness after losing my insurance benefits that I was entitled due to my disability. I have gr...eat difficulty with chronic pain, anxiety and depression caused by Spasmodic Torticollis, Myoclonus Dystonia, and Genetic Torsion Dystonia that I suffer with every day. I worked as a Registered Nurse for 30 years until 07/2013; when I was forced out of work due to my disability. I have cared for thousands of patients over the years during the most vulnerable time of life and always strived to provide the highest level of care and dignity to all my patients. I started receiving long term disability benefits 02/2013, and qualified for waiver of my life insurance premiums. On 10/11/16, for the first time in over three years, I was in denial about my dystonia and attempted to start orientation in a per diem nursing job caring for one patient at home in a very limited capacity (6-8 hours a week), but was unsuccessful because my condition exacerbated after 4 hours of orientation for the job. The Hartford Insurance company automatically denied my waiver of premium life insurance benefits protected by ERISA law because of my unsuccessful job attempt. Thank you so much for helping me with my case, it is amazing how cold people are and companies will do whatever financially benefits them. Thank you so much for taking my case and writing a letter to the Hartford with pertinent documents getting them to reverse their unlawful decision. If it hadn’t been for God answering my prayers, and sending you to my rescue, I don’t know what I would have done. I highly recommend you, Kevin Schaefer, Esq. and Edward Dabdoub, Esq. along with all the attorneys at the Dabdoub Law Firm in Miami, Florida because you are all very professional and outstanding. Thank you very much for all that you have done for me, and all who need attorneys that specialize in helping the disabled. Sincerely, Laura
