Legal Question in Disability Law in Georgia
Ada
I have artificial legs. I was working for a GA state prison and was forced to quit because I could not walk the facility. I filed a complaint with the EEOC and they found in my favor. Mediation was unsuccessful and since the discrimination came from a state facility my case was turned over to the Dept. of Justice. They turned down the case and gave me a right to suit waiver. I live in a small town and can't find a lawyer to represent me that knows ADA law. Pleaswe help. Thanks so much.

If you cannot find a lawyer through lawguru, you may want to check out www.nela.org. It is not uncommon for a person in your situation to have to look beyond your community to find competent, experienced legal counsel.
