Knight in shining armor :)

When my disability claim was denied for vague, inactionable reasons and the inscrutability of my disability insurance company's appeals process finally drove me crazy, I did a google search for disability lawyers and by a stroke of luck connected to Kevin Schaefer. In talking to Kevin on the phone I ...realized how much sunk into questioning myself and my illness due to the awful treatment I received from the claims manager and her colleagues. Kevin gave me actionable strategies and advice and even more importantly simply made me realize I didn't have to question myself or try to sound more convincing or try to come across as more believable--that I had a right to receive this benefit because I was in fact sick and unable to work. His advice worked and my denial was overturned. He was generous with is time and knowledge and really made a huge difference in my life. I wish I'd known that this kind of support was available when trying to deal with less than honest insurance people at a time when your life is so stressful to begin with. I highly recommend working with Kevin.

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!!

Excellent Lawyer and Firm

I contacted Miami dis attorneys very early while I was still on Short term Dis.. They called me monthly to make sure I was being covered and well taken care of and give me pointers..After two years of being on LTD for bilatereal Mieniere's disease. Even though I was still on SSDI , The LTD company s...igned a contract to pay over the that I aquired from SSDI . It was not a lot but over 10 years it adds up , they was hoping I would go away . Me and that company signed a contract when I was hired and healthy. I wanted to make sure the lived up to their end of the bargain. Kevin took over when LTD dropped me after two years. He is easy to talk too, He actually can understand and relate to how you feel...You do not find that often in todays world. He helped me get the settlement I was looking for in a timely manner and kept me updated reguarly ....He is a great guy and the firm is an A+ ,,,I recommend them highly at times it brought tears to my eyes because you know you are right and the LTD to them you are just a number...That is not the case with Kevin...I cant thank Kevin and these guys enough . Good things do happen in this world this is a firm you can believe in. A+++++++++++++++ And thank you Kevin ...Sorry for my grammar but that is a symptom of my disease.

Disability claim

Kevin and the Dabdoub law firm were exceptional, they settled my claim with liberty mutual after liberty had denied the claim and the appeal presented by my previous attorney. I found Kevin through a referral from a friend of mine who works with attorneys and she highly recommended the firm. I c...ould not be more grateful for the job that Kevin and the firm did and would highly recommend anyone to use their services.

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.
