Mission Statement:
I served as a Senior Trial Attorney in the Disability Rights Section of the Justice Department, responsible for nationwide enforcement of the ADA and Section 504 on behalf of the United States. I was one of the first ten attorneys hired to enforce the ADA.
We work nationwide, and provide guidance and technical assistance to businesses, state and local governments, and persons with disabilities about the ADA, Section 504, and the Fair Housing Act, in collaboration with other experts across the United States.
In collaboration with architects, web accessibility experts, recreation accessibility experts, and others, across the country, we offer ADA guidance, trainings, litigation support, and expert witness assistance.
We also help state and local governments develop and update their self evaluation and transition plans and comply with their program access requirements, and train ADA Coordinators, building code officials, and others.
We also assist businesses in their efforts to comply with title III of the ADA.
