[blindlaw] Please Assist ASAP

[Dennis Clark]

Hello,
I am still trying to understand the issue at hand.  Specifically what 
accommodation is needed and not provided?  Secondly, what statute do we 
think imposed a duty on the law firm to provide the particular accommodation 
requested?  I am not saying there isn't such a statute, I simply need to 
know if it is the ADA or some other state statute.  Also, it would be 
helpful if posters would sign their emails.  I think that 2 earlier posts on 
this topic were from the same person, but from two different email 
addresses.  With respect to the first post on the topic, is this an attorney 
requesting assistance from other attorneys, or is it a non attorney trying 
to obtain legal guidance?  Either is fine, but it helps to understand the 
poster's position in order to properly address the question.
Regards,
Dennis
