Kevin is Awesome! I was lucky to get Kevin Schaefer behind me on my case. I was denied my LTD after years of fighting to return to work and finally reaching the point of continuing to do so was only permanently damaging myself even more. Then I was dropped once I hit LTD. Kevin was easy to talk to and took the time out to explain everything I had questions for. He keep me up to speed on the case at all time, and helped me maintain my expectations and the realities that came along with it. He was always interested in not just the case but in me as a person and how I was doing. He even put up with a virtual shut in that had nobody but a cat to talk to and would chat his ear off when I am sure he had much more important things to do. I was always treated as a gold star client even if my case was not worth millions. I would highly recommend this law firm and Kevin in particular. Thank you again Kevin.

I first met Kevin in late 2017 after my disability insurance company denied my short-term and long-term benefits. My selection process was pretty intense and even had my mother on the various calls as I tried to make my selection. My selection to go with Kevin and the Dabdoub firm came down to three main characteristic’s. First was knowledge of the industry, second was how transparent Kevin was and finally third was high moral standard he had. Kevin is extreme knowledgeable about cases that fall under ERISA and he took the time to explain them to me so I knew what was going on at all phases. He is true professional in these matters. My case with Cigna/Lina lasted about 3 years which ended with a lump-sum buyout that met my expectations. It was not an easy case to manage as Cigna denied benefits twice and Kevin and team appealed and won both times. Kevin demonstrated high legal prowess for both appeals and finally for the buyout. His high-value consultation to me was tremendous and really made it easy for me to deal with being denied twice. If a situation arises with me again or with anyone I know I will highly recommend they consult with the Dabdoub firm.
