[Katie Lester]

Hi Everyone,

 

Here is a really interesting seminar that will breakdown in detail  of the different laws and regulations that pertain to  someone with a disability.   It is a really good source of information  that can help in many different circumstances. It is on a Saturday and only $30 for a lot of great information.

 

 

Hope to see you there!

Individuals with disabilities sometimes encounter challenges that others around them do not. These obstacles come in the form of discrimination, denied access, or lack of accommodations. One of the consequences of living in a litigious society is the immediate impulse of searching for a lawyer to discuss the possibility of suing when a disability issue occurs.

  As a lawyer, I thank you for your desire to help me pay my bills, but as an advocate, a law suit should be the last recourse you seek. Litigation can be expensive, time consuming, and not guaranteed to go in your favor. What does that leave you with then? The answer is knowledge of the law, understanding of your rights, and knowing how to seek the protections they do afford you. Knowledge is power, and you are your best advocate.

  Did you know that more than nine federal statutes protect the rights of disabled individuals in the US? Did you know that the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 is not as extensive as it is widely believed? Would you like to learn about the statutes that can help you stand up for your rights, and to give you the knowledge that can help make you your best advocate?

  If so, then please join me on September 11, 2021 at 02:00 PM CDT for a seminar entitled Knowledge is Power, and You Are Your Best Advocate. This is where I intend on helping you become the best possible advocate by providing you with a simple and thorough explanation of each of the laws and statutes that cover individuals with disabilities in the United States. You can even join me from the comfort of your own home as it is going to take place on Zoom. If interested, then please click on the link below and complete the registration form for the event. I look forward to helping you enhance your ability to advocate for yourself and others.
