Excellent attorneys. Clients I refer to them are always satisfied with the legal work.

Excellent lawyer. Nice, responsible, flexible and a great listener. He went above and beyond for me and I would hire Kevin again without reservations

Dabdoub Law Firm represented me on my ERISA disability case. Kevin was the lead attorney and he was great to work with. His communication was outstanding. He kept me updated throughout the case. He was always available to answer any question I had. I found him to be extremely knowledgeable on disability law. He ensured that I was prepared for the process and that all the appropriate documentation and support was included in my file. I am so grateful for his assistance during this process. I highly recommend Kevin Schaefer and Dabdoub Law Firm!

Nicole Alvarez is one of the most professional, sharp and top notch lawyers that I have ever engaged. She was referred to me by a trusted concierge contact. Nicole listened to me, took immediate action and delivered outstanding results. I was surprised by her impact. I highly recommend her.

I must say, I am feeling quite emotional and overcome with gratitude as I write this review. I suddenly became very ill in 2015, just as I was excelling at a job I truly enjoyed. Additionally, I was working on my MBA and had lofty career goals. My husband and I, after years of working to put ourselves in a position to buy a house, were finally starting to see a better future on the horizon. I can’t say I know what triggered my illness, but I became extremely ill. I toughed it out for nearly two years, seeking every possible treatment I could find. Finally, my body gave up and I knew I couldn’t push through another day. When I filed a claim with my long-term disability carrier, I expected that coverage to keep me afloat until I (hopefully) healed and could return to work. It didn’t exactly happen that way. Months after denying my claim, the insurance company sent me for an Independent Medical Evaluation and after a thorough examination, the doctor’s report proved sufficient to certify my disability and the denial was reversed. Unfortunately, about 7 months later, I was asked to attend another IME. I will spare you the details, but suffice it to say that the doctor who conducted the IME had already made his judgement before ever having met me. As a result, my claim was closed without warning, leaving me absolutely financially devastated. I wrote letter after letter; filed complaints with every agency I could find think of and yet, the insurance company would not budge. In my arrogance, I had been so convinced that I didn’t need an attorney. I thought, “I’m intelligent enough that I can do this on my own”. I was so wrong! Finally, after calling several local attorneys and being told by snooty receptionists that they either did not handle private LTD claims or being promised a return phone call that never came, I resorted to my old pal, Google. That was when I discovered the Dabdoub Law Firm. I picked up the phone thinking it would be a fruitless effort, but the person who answered actually spoke to me at length and truly listened to my story. Within days, I had spoken with Geannina Burgos, Esq., and built a rapport that inspired such confidence that I retained her services immediately. Geannina was kind, attentive, knowledgable, and TRULY sympathetic. She never patronized me, and she was honest from day one about what to expect from the process. I was very impressed by how easily accessible Nina and her paralegal team were. They happily answered my (many) questions and kept me informed throughout the entire process. As a person, Nina is a diamond in the rough. She is brilliant, easy to talk to, and very relatable. I felt like I could tell her anything. In fact, I often vented about the personal issues that had resulted from my struggle with the insurance company, and she was always there to listen and reassure. It was obvious that she cares very much for her clients, and that she feels a sense of obligation to protect them from the very broken system of long term disability insurance claims management. As an attorney, she is a wizard. Without disclosing my personal details, let me just say that the final outcome of my battle with the insurance company was exponentially better than I had expected it to be. I never felt pushed by Nina to take the path of least resistance, though that could have resulted in her receiving her fees much sooner. She wanted ONLY to do what was best for me. And she did. She made me whole again. For that, I owe her a debt of gratitude and I will always consider her a guardian angel of sorts. Please, if you do not think you need an attorney to deal with insurance claims, trust me, you absolutely DO. Save yourself the stress and time that I sacrificed trying to navigate the system alone, and hire yourself someone to advocate for you. For me, Geannina Burgos was the perfect choice, and I highly recommend her services to anyone who is being victimized by the cruelty and indifference of the disability insurance system.

When My LTD company denied my claim, I was at a complete loss as to what to do. Already overwhelmed by my change in health, I was ready to to give up when an internet search brought me to Dabdoub Law Firm's website. From my first contact, I was sure I was in the right hands. Tanja, Sonya, and Kevin are absolutely awesome. I now have an approved appeal, back pay, and continuing benefits. The best news is that these wonderful people will continue to represent me as my claim moves forward. Thank You Dabdoub Law Firm!

Eddie and his team at Dabdoub Law are knowledgeable, efficient, and empathetic -- all great qualities for attorneys who help those with challenging medical conditions. They fought confidently and aggressively to gather the appropriate evidence to get my disability benefits successfully restored. As an attorney myself who became disabled due to ME/CFS, which can be hard to prove to the insurer, I could tell from my very first interaction with Eddie that I had found a true expert.

I’ve been going through the toughest time of my life over the last year and without the help of this firm, I don’t know where I’d be. They have stood up and represented me when I needed it most and because of them my life has become a little less stressful!!! Thank you all for your hard work.

Mary was my Attorney for my LTD case. She explained the process very through and spoke very clear. She made the process easy and simple for me. Which is needed with my disability. Lots of pain & headaches which is difficult to think clearly. And Mary and her team were always understanding. They worked diligently and won my case. Thank you Mary and the Dabdoub team! I highly recommend The Dabdoub Law Firm for your Long Term Disability case.

Bryn was very professional and informative from the very beginning of my case. I had already been denied twice by my disability insurance company when I contacted Bryn. She immediately came up with a solid game plan to appeal my claim. This was a difficult claim in that it involved a mental health disability. The insurance company was unresponsive at first, but Bryn kept on them, sending correspondence on a regular basis in order to document our attempts to communicate. When the insurance company missed the 90 day deadline to approve / disapprove my claim, Bryn immediately filed a breach of contract suit. Ultimately I was awarded a large retroactive settlement and a continuing settlement through the end of my benefit period. I believe Bryn’s knowledge and persistence was key to getting my settlement. I would highly recommend her to family, friends and others.
