Elizabeth...I have called a couple of places that take disability law cases. They are understaffed and cannot take my case. I found out about another place and have had intake with them by phone. I haven't heard back yet, but the attorneys have weekly meetings to choose the cases they will take. I'm keeping my fingers crossed, but still looking since most cases are turned down. Thanks.

I had planned to work there a long time. It was a job working with persons with disabilities. I couldn't believe that this is what they do and they fired me.
