Simply The Best

I chose Dell and Schaefer after watching several videos that Greg had made and I also checked his reviews. I contacted him through his website and within 1 hour Greg called me on a Sunday afternoon. We discussed my medical issues and how they were rapidly damaging my abilities to continue my dental p...ractice of 32 years. He told me that he would handle my case himself. I asked for names of dentists that he had represented. I spoke to 3 and they all said hire Greg ASAP. I had 3 specialists who recommended that I stop practicing but I had a tough time dealing with losing my practice of 32 years. I was dealing with depression and anxieties due to my reduction in hours along with knowing that my disability insurance company had a bad reputation of denying legitimate claims. Greg had a way of calming me down and he told me he had dealt with my company hundreds of times. He was not at all intimidated. He said that he was going to help me and was confident that we would win. Greg guided me through the entire process and it was completed in the time frame he said it would be. He and Vanessa returned all my calls and emails rapidly. I would think of questions on weekends or late at night and he would always return my emails and calls. Once everything was into the insurance company they had an inexperienced claim consultant on my case that was challenging my disabling conditions. Greg fired off a letter giving them 5 days to make a decision. They moved my case up the ladder to a "lead" consultant and within 2 days we had the approval letter. He was also able to collect a period of partial disability, my business overhead expense policy, get me deemed totally disabled get my three insurance premiums refunded to me. We also received all past due benefits for the maximum monthly payment for the past 8 months since I stopped working. Greg continues to handle my claim and thankfully he will always be on my claim until my policy expires. My family will be thankful to Greg, his assistant Vanessa and their entire team forever.

Thank you Greg Dell for the great job you did for me!

I hired Attorneys Dell & Schaefer during one of the most difficult times of my life. As a financial advisor that had built my career by advising clients I never thought I would need professional assistance to handle my long term disability insurance claim. Without Dell & Schaefer I don’t think I woul...d have ever collected any disability benefits. Greg Dell handled my claim from start to finish and he was constantly in communication with me throughout the entire process. I was lucky to have Mr. Dell and his team representing me. I was very satisfied with the lump sum settlement I received. The staff at Dell and Schaefer are very knowledgeable and understand the disability claim process.

Competent & Professional

I hired Greg Dell to handle my LTD claim with the most horrendous insurance company in the world; The Hartford. It is difficult, if not impossible, to find a firm/attorney that specializes in LTD claims. Greg has always been available for consultation, and brings an ease and no nonsense approach ...to the arena. He brings the experience and perspective to your case that one needs because it is difficult to remove yourself from the emotional knee jerk responses that are typical in these situations. He is very fair with his time and efforts and is not an attorney that will bill you to death every time you look his way. I really appreciate that. I highly recommend Greg, and feel more secure with my LTD claim knowing I can turn to him when I have questions, concerns, and when The Hartford behaves badly.

I'VE BEEN A CLIENT FOR 5 YEARS!

A CLIENT FOR 5 YEARS! Most likely ... if you are reading this now...... you are searching for 'The Right Disability Attorney'! Realizing that no professional, including Greg Dell, can make everyone happy, the attorneys at Dell attempt to. They are still representing my best interests and have l...iterally collected every dime I am entitled to under policy. Insurance companies know that Greg Dell's firm is large enough to have assets sufficient to fight if necessary. They won't 'roll over' because they don't have the money to stay in the ring. Your insurance company, I assure you, know who 'Greg Dell' is. After they receive that 1st letter from Mr. Dell, putting them on notice that they are no longer to contact you, (that ALL correspondence goes through him) .... I assure you their 'method of operation' changes gears. Please listen to me. It has been my experience that once you call your insurance carrier and tell them you are even 'thinking about' filing a claim - their 'helping hands' attitude changes immediately. You are no longer an asset... you have now become a ‘liability’. Your insurance carrier knows that they will never make another dime from you. From now on you will only cost them money… perhaps for the rest of your life. It's just business folks.... we try to mitigate liabilities. If they can find a way to stall, question and deny ..... most likely they will. Understand that insurance companies make money three ways: 1. Collecting premiums. 2. Investing revenues. 3. Denying claims. They have already collected your premiums and will now determine if they can justify denying your claim ... they simply will. GREG DELL WILL NOT LET THEM GET AWAY WITH THIS CRAP! If you are a professional and find yourself in the unfortunate position of filing a disability claim - I admonish you to not try this on your own! HIRE A PROFESSIONAL! Your decision is whether to hire a ‘disability claims consultant’ or an 'attorney' which specializes in professional disability claims. You'd be wise to decide upon the later. The reason being an attorney has ‘power’ and ‘authority’ and actually ‘represents you’. He/she has authority (power of attorney) to actually communicate with your insurance company and do ‘Whatever It Takes’. A disability claims consultant does exactly that… they ‘consult’ with ‘you’ (not the insurance company) and make recommendations … they tell you what to say and do. Mr. Dell notified my insurance company that my claim was legitimate and justified and that they were simply going to pay my claim. 5 years later I have received every single payment, in full and on time! If you have not decided yet… please listen to me. You are about to step on the field of battle with Goliath. You must never forget that these insurance people are good… very good. They know what they are doing. All day long claims adjusters look for ways to deny claims. They know all the tricks. Unless you are King David .... you are going to need much more than a rock. In conclusion consider this ... right now you are not looking for a friend. You need someone who knows what they are doing....and does it exceptionally well. Do yourself a favor and call Greg .... call him right now. I assure you.... you'll sleep much better tonight!

Fabulous service and results

My initial contact with Gregory Dell was to obtain guidance and advice with the maze of forms and information requests from my disability insurance carriers. I have always been impressed by the speed in which he personally responds to every email, phone call or question. He and his staff obtained a... better outcome with my case than I had ever anticipated and they have continued to watch over my case during the following years to make certain my benefits were not interrupted. All fees were reasonable and and actually a great value considering the long term outcome. I have always, and will always continue to recommend him highly to other potential clients. Louis M.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2006.

Admonishment issued in FL, 2006

updated on 11/13/2018

An admonition means an attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. The Bar gives the lawyer an admonition in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

Gregory’s comment:

“There is no public record of this admonishment from 2006 and AVVO refuses to remove it from my profile.”
