Law Office of Donald D. Vigil

I am so grateful for Don D. Vigil who was my attorney for my disability case back in 2020. My court date was not in person due to Covid and the meeting was set as a phone hearing rather than in person. This was nerve-racking for me and through the entire process, I appreciated how calm and focused Don was. He was a calming and confident presence during a very difficult time for me. I appreciated Don for taking time to listen to my situation and represent me for disability. I also commend Don's legal assistant Melissa who took such great time and care in putting together all the information necessary to present to the judge. I felt truly supported by Don and Melissa. My disability was granted a few months later and I appreciated the help and professionalism I was given through this legal process.

I had the pleasure of Don Vigil personally handling my case which was quite complex. I am a highly trained procedurally based physician who practice in New Mexico for many years. Unfortunately, I suffer from autoimmune disease with multi organ involvement which ultimately led to my need to retire as I suffered from severe pain and fatigue. I had no problem obtaining my Social Security Disability Income on the first attempt which happens 33.7% of the time. I had 2 Long Term Disability policies which I purchased with after tax dollars and had paid into both of them for over 20 years. The larger of the 2 plans was professional and fair with me, and ultimately awarded my benefits. It was the second company that refused to pay me the policy benefits because I had disagreements with the state medical board regarding my ability to safely practice medicine given the multiple health issues I had and how they were treated. Mr. Vigil did his homework on my complex case, and crafted a rebuttal to the initial refusal to award long term disability benefits. It was based on the truth regarding my complex health issues, third party evaluations of my health issues, and total understanding of disability law. I thought that this company would not reconsider paying my benefits, but the excellent rebuttal/response by Mr. Vigil to the company's incorrect assessment of my personal circumstances resulted in the company reversing their initial refusal to pay the policy. I was awarded the full dollar amount that the policy was obliged to pay, as well as payment of back benefits while we awaited reconsideration of my case. Mr. Vigil was fairly compensated in a manner that I understood from the beginning. He was a pleasure to work with, and I was very pleased with the fact that he was ALWAYS available to me if I had any questions or concerns about my case. I give Don the highest level of recommendation and would use his services again in the future if I have any further disability issues. Keep up the great work, Mr. Vigil!!!

Martha Villegas, a lawyer at the Law Offices of Donald Vigil, handled my personal injury case smartly and, most importantly in these crazy times, socially distanced. My accident happened at the end of March 2020, and Martha and myself were successful able to settle this case remotely. All our meeting took place over the phone and the only time I saw her face to face was when I picked up my settlement check. It is also worth mentioning that she got me the most financial recuperation as she was able to as well as the maximum reduction on my medical costs. I'm very grateful for everything that Martha and the Law Offices of Donald Vigil did for me.

Mr. Vigil was my attorney for my long term disability case. He is very knowledgeable about the law and set realistic expectations. To my amazement he was able to settle my case within 5 months! So glad I found him! Highly recommend!

Don is accessible, very knowledgeable, and managed my case expertly and efficiently. It takes a good Attorney to take on a major insurance conglomerate to get owed benefits for a single individual. He knows the laws, the legal system and it's limitations well, and will tell you what you can reasonably expect from a lawsuit. He won a fair settlement for my damages, while relieving me of the stress of trying to get benefits paid. I will use him again if I ever need legal representation, and I highly recommend him to anyone for their legal needs.
