Brown, Goldstein & Levy is proud to recognize Disability Pride Month this July and redouble our commitment to making the promise of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and other disability rights laws a reality.
Despite the ADA being enacted 35 years ago to ensure individuals with disabilities have the same rights and opportunities as everyone else, people with disabilities continue to face barriers to information, technology, housing, education, healthcare, employment, and transportation.
BGL remains committed to breaking down these barriers and advocating for the rights of people with disabilities. Our attorneys work to ensure that programs and services offered by private companies and public entities are fully accessible to individuals with disabilities – as required by the ADA and other federal and state laws.
For over 40 years, we have proudly represented the National Federation of the Blind and its members in its quest for full, equal inclusion of the blind in all aspects of society. During this time, we have won groundbreaking victories in cases ranging from website accessibility to voting rights, to prisoner rights. These cases have shaped how courts nationwide interpret the ADA and have helped to empower individuals with disabilities throughout the country.
Our passion for disability justice goes beyond our legal cases. We are proud to offer strategic consulting through Inclusivity, which advises businesses, organizations, and government agencies that want to achieve real inclusion of people with disabilities in their workforces and communities. Our disability rights fellowship offers recent law school graduates with disabilities the opportunity to work with us in advocating for disability rights and to kick-start their own legal careers in whatever field they ultimately choose to pursue.
We also honor the generations of individuals with disabilities who have fought for equality, visibility, and accessibility throughout the decades. Our legal efforts to advance disability justice build off of their critical work.
