Looking for attorneys who take ADA accommodation cases while the employee is still employed
I have a documented disability and submitted a formal accommodation request supported by multiple treating providers. My employer took over two months to respond, partially denied the request, and has since engaged in what I believe is a retaliatory pattern. I have filed a federal complaint and an internal complaint. My charge has been identified as eligible for mediation. My employer has not responded to that.
I am still employed. I am in Illinois.
Every attorney I have contacted locally either does not handle this type of case or has told me they do not take cases until a termination occurs or a right to sue letter is issued. I understand the contingency math. The statewide disability rights organization is not an option due to a conflict of interest.
I am asking whether there are attorneys or firms that take ADA cases pre-termination, or whether anyone has resources for navigating this without representation in the meantime. I need to retain my health insurance and income to keep seeking medical care for the condition I asked for accommodations for.
If you have referrals or have been in a similar situation, I would appreciate hearing from you in any capacity.
