Our disability law practice supports individuals facing discrimination, denied benefits, or insufficient accommodations, including:

Employment Discrimination: We represent clients who experience workplace discrimination such as wrongful termination, harassment, or lack of reasonable accommodations.
Denial of Disability Benefits: Our team challenges denied SSDI and long-term disability claims to help secure the benefits clients deserve.
Accessibility Violations: We address ADA non-compliance, seeking compensation and advocating for improved accessibility standards.
Education and Public Services: Our firm pursues claims against institutions that fail to meet their disability-related obligations.

Overview

Disability rights are human rights, and our firm is committed to driving change toward a more inclusive society.

We help clients in employment discrimination cases, addressing wrongful termination and failure to accommodate.

Accessibility Barriers

Disabled people face significant challenges that impact their daily lives, opportunities, and societal inclusion—ranging from limited job prospects and healthcare disparities to inadequate educational support, social isolation, inaccessible transportation, and unaffordable housing.

Many individuals with disabilities also encounter discrimination and a heightened risk of violence and abuse. We strive to confront these injustices, raising the standards for equal treatment, and building a future where disability is no longer a barrier to opportunity.

Our firm addresses ADA violations in public and private spaces, focusing on complex accessibility cases that may result in settlements for retrofitting or policy changes.

Your Rights

Non-Discrimination: The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) protects against discrimination in employment, education, and public accommodations.
Equal Employment Opportunity: Both federal and state laws require fair hiring practices and mandate reasonable workplace accommodations.
Accessible Education: The ADA and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) provide rights to appropriate educational accommodations.
Healthcare Access: The ADA provides for equal access to healthcare services.
Housing Equality: The Fair Housing Act prohibits housing discrimination and requires reasonable accommodations.
Public Accessibility: The ADA requires public spaces and transportation be accessible to individuals with disabilities.

Our team helps individuals with invisible disabilities, such as mental health, chronic pain, and neurological conditions, pursue compensation for denied accommodations or discriminatory treatment.
