Kevin P. Schaefer

For past 5+years my Long COVID diagnosis forced me into long-term disability(LTD), my work insurance company wrongfully denied my claim. I felt overwhelmed and hopeless. Where I am drowning in Long COVID symptoms and more than half of the world including my own family(who don’t live with me and do... not not understand my everyday’s struggles with Long Covid) denied the existence of Long Covid and its symptoms, Kevin’s extensive knowledge about Long COVID really surprised me. He understood the complexities of my condition and how to present it effectively to the work insurance company. Kevin provided both expertise and compassion. He is not only an excellent ERISA attorney who knows the appeals process well, but he also has successful experience with Long COVID cases. He guided me through every step, explained everything in clear terms, and fought tirelessly for me. Because of his skill and dedication, he won my appeal and secured the benefits I needed and deserved. One thing I really like about Kevin is his honesty and he is upfront about everything. Which makes things whole a lot easier to understand. If you are facing a denial of disability benefits from your work insurance company, especially for a complex condition like Long COVID, do not hesitate. Kevin is the attorney you need. I wish there were more than 5 star ratings available, because Kevin and Dabdoub Law Firm(team) deserve more than 5star.

I first spoke to Kevin Schaefer from the Dabdoub Law Firm on the 20th of April 2021 after three months of having submitted a work-related stress STD claim to Met Life in January 2021. Every month my claim was denied. On my monthly appeals I submitted updated documentation from my Health Care provider...s supporting the STD. During this period, I remained on an unpaid leave that increased my hardship both for my health and mental situation in particular after having worked for my firm for 42 years as a Senior Vice President. Kevin, immediately proved to be the best attorney for the job. He immediately was very compassionate, provided great counsel and provided excellent customer service and professionalism. Kevin over this 12-month period worked with me, responded within 24 hours and provided me with his personal mobile number. Kevin in summary is an amazing attorney very humble easy to talk to and I highly recommend him to my family and friends. I remain sincerely appreciative of this long case and forever thankful.

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.

Kevin clearly prepared me for the various steps involved in submitting a claim as well was what information was pertinent. Also, he kept me up to date on timing and when to expect the next step. This was helpful in managing my own life and to not feel overwhelmed. He also set expectations with no pro...mises. I appreciate his honesty and integrity.

Hello my name is Patrick Leake and I'm not one to give reviews but I had to make an exception in regard to Mr. Kevin P. Shaefer of Dabdoub law firm. I have been dealing with a variety of health issues over the past 5 years. Prostate cancer, Cardiomyopathy ,knee and back issues. My long...-term insurance company dropped me after only 2 years after I was seen by one of their independent Physicians. I contacted Kevin Shaefer of Dabdoub law firm and I must say it was the best phone call I have ever made. After he reviewed my information he notified me immediately to give me the particulars of my case. He was up front and honest about what I was up against in which I really appreciated. After a few months Mr Shaefer notified me about the date of Mediation hearing. On the day of the Mediation Mr Shaefer's opening remarks were supremely articulate and on point. His professionalism and experience was very impactful in the decision of the insurance company. The monetary amount of the case was not that significant but Mr. Shaefer treated it as such. He got more than we both expected. He is truly a lawyer that has his clients best interests in mind. I can't thank him enough. I recommend (highly) to anyone. I am forever grateful to Mr. Kevin P. Shaefer and Dabdoub law firm.
