Kevin P. Schaefer

I am incredibly grateful to Kevin Schaefer, Sonya Myers, and the team at Dabdoub Law Firm for representing me in my long-term disability appeal. After my claim was initially denied by the insurance company, I had to navigate a complicated process during an already difficult time. Choosing the righ...t attorney felt like one of the most important decisions I would make. Before hiring anyone, I researched firms across the country—including California, Florida, New York, Georgia, and Texas—and interviewed several attorneys directly about their experience, approach, and how they would handle a case like mine. After that extensive search, I hired Kevin and Dabdoub Law Firm to represent me. Kevin stood out from everyone I spoke with. From our first conversation, he made it clear that if he accepted my case, he would be fully invested in it. He never promised a particular outcome, and I appreciated his honesty, but it was equally clear that the merits of my case mattered to him. I never felt as though I had simply handed my file over to a law firm, and that remained true throughout the entire process. That commitment was especially evident in how Kevin handled the ERISA aspects of my appeal. His command of this complicated area of law was clear in his ability to cut through the noise and identify the strongest path forward. He did not pursue every possible argument merely because it was available. Instead, he focused on what truly mattered and built a clear strategy around it. He took his time, explained his reasoning, and sought my approval before moving forward with important decisions, so I understood where things stood at every stage. Kevin’s calm and honest demeanor also made a tremendous difference. He was realistic about the uncertainties while remaining confident in the merits of what we were pursuing. That steadiness was invaluable when I was facing a large insurance company. Sonya was excellent throughout the process as well—responsive, organized, and patient with the volume of records and updates I provided. She made an overwhelming process much easier to manage. One of my greatest concerns was whether anyone could understand my circumstances well enough to explain them convincingly. Kevin did. When I read the completed appeal, I was struck by how thorough and well argued it was and by how accurately it reflected what I had experienced. For the first time in the process, I felt truly understood, and that meant a great deal to me. My appeal was ultimately successful, and I could not be happier with the result. However, I would stand by this recommendation based on the quality of the representation alone, regardless of the outcome. The care, communication, legal knowledge, and judgment behind their work were apparent long before I knew the insurance company’s decision. If you are facing a long-term disability denial and wondering whether anyone will truly understand your situation, Kevin Schaefer and the team at Dabdoub Law Firm are the people I would recommend.

I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Kevin. From the very beginning, he was professional, knowledgeable, and truly compassionate about my situation. Navigating a long-term disability case can be overwhelming, but Kevin made the entire process feel manageable and kept me informed ev...ery step of the way. Kevin communicated effectively throughout the process and was always reassuring, which gave me a lot of peace of mind during a very stressful time. He was extremely thorough, detail-oriented, and always prepared. Any questions or concerns I had were answered promptly, and I always felt like my case genuinely mattered to him—not just as a client, but as a person. His dedication and persistence ultimately led to a successful outcome, and I am incredibly grateful. If you are looking for an attorney who is not only skilled but also truly cares about his clients, I highly recommend Kevin. This was a stressful chapter in my life, and having the right legal support made all the difference.

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 got Kevin Schaefer involved way too late in the process. My appeal was days away from being denied. Kevin was upfront and honest about my chances and possible outcomes from the beginning. He was able to get my appeal approved for which I am very grateful. If you find yourself needing to use an ERIS...A LTD policy, do yourself a favor and hire Kevin. Do not try to navigate it alone. Just focus on your recovery and let him fight for you.
