Prevailed Against Adverse Doctor Statement

My long term disability benefits were cut off when my neurosurgeon signed a statement prepared by the insurance company stating that I was able to return to work. Barbara Casino and Jack Stennett sent me to an occupational therapist and then used her functional capacity evaluation to convince the neu...rosurgeon and the judge that I was not able to return to work. Blowing through the smoke and mirrors of the insurance company’s attorneys and sham “medical experts,” Barbara and Jack won complete restitution of my disability benefits.

Five Star Rating

I reached out to Barbara on an benefit appeal. I can only say great things about her knowledge and care she provided me. Her legal expertise guided me in making informed decisions about my claim If you need to hire an expert to help you with your benefits, I would highly recommend Barbara Casino!! ... Do not attempt this alone.

Indispensable insurance lawyer

Barbara is awesome. I had to defend an auto liability suit which could have gone over $500K. The problem is that my insurance limit was only $250K. Barbara successfully guided my negotiation with my insurance company to extend the limit in case we lost the suit. Otherwise, I'd potentially have to pay... a lot out of pocket. She's also very responsive and explained every step to me.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I have worked with Barbara on several cases over the years and have also referred cases to her. She is dedicated, hard working, intelligent and fights for her clients. When insurance company lawyers see her name on a file, they know they are in for a battle with a tenacious, aggressive lawyer. I highly encourage anyone needing a lawyer who knows insurance law to retain Ms. Casino."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
