File Compliant with American Disabilities Act

Garfield600 · 06-28-2005, 07:40 AM

I did file complaint with American Disabilies Act last January and still nothing a word from U.S. Department of Justice with ADA either fax or mail. This case about the hearing court problem with interpreters issue. What should I do next?

Theyre backlogged. More complaints than staff can handle. Talk to an ADA attorney.

Yeah, the so-called ADA attorney is Richard Roehm. Ask him.

Good luck Sabrina on your meeting with Senator Kennedy, something needs to be done to strengthen and improve the ADA laws. To many deaf citizens are having their rights violated, and nothing is being done for them.

Let me know too how you make out.

You would be better off contacting Senator Harkin's office. Harkin's late brother was Deaf and went to Iowa School for the Deaf in Council Bluffs. Harkin was the founder of the ADA.

Side note: Several years ago, we were holding our Iowa Association for the Deaf Conference at a hotel. Harkin just happened to be in town and staying at the hotel. He walk by an noticed a large deaf crowd. We invited him in to say a few words and take questions. He started signing a little bit, but asked if an interpretor could take over, otherwise we'd be there all night!

It wont be long before I take the State Bar exam. Then I'll be a real attorney whether you like it or not. Until then I work with Richard Rosen, Jeff Carver, and Morse Mehrban all who have litigated ADA cases on our client's behalf.

Enforcement of Title II cases are much longer and slower to accomplish than Title I and III cases.

Richard will make a good lawyer, weather you all like it or not!
He can take the bar exam and pass with "Flying Colors".
One of this days he'll be Richard Rohem Atty at Law.
