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.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:8.0pt;line-height:105%'><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'> 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.

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.
