1 /5 Mark Haag: I am devastated, and my blood boils. I consider this an ADA violation. Avoid this business.
I am legally-disabled for mental health. I had 30 days to file an appeal to L&I after a long court battle. I had accommodations for my mental condition from previous court. I am fighting for my life. I have been incapacitated as per my PhD psychologists letter, in hand. There is an argument here for me being late after 30 days. I had accommodations. Incapacitated. If someone is in a coma, they cannot reply. Simple.
I asked for help composing a letter to try. This business is unwilling to try. Excuse me? You write legal documents for a living and you are REFUSING TO HELP A DISABLED MAN because paralegals kick me to the curb and refuse to render services due to the nature of my disability. The nature of my disability is I cannot keep up with calendars and administrative tasks. If you refuse help to a blind man because he is blind, this is against the law. You are refusing to help me because I cant keep up with calendars and administrative tasks. This is my limitation, like a blind man cannot see.
This is an ADA violation as far as I am concerned. I cannot represent myself. They are refusing to even try. I have a proposed order in hand that is in my favor. The final order was a loss with significant dissent. I was incapacitated and did not know / was unable to reply.
This paralegal told me the court will say no automatically, and refused to try. She refused to consider that I have accommodations from previous court, and I am disabled for mental health. I would like to pay for services, I am disabled, and you are REFUSING services. I am late because of my disability. You are refusing service because I was late. That is refusing service because of my disability, transitively. By not accepting my payment to simply write a cover letter asking the court to hear my case, you send me to the abyss. It should be my option to lose a few hundred dollars paying someone to write a letter. I have to try.
The nature of my mental health injury: as a veteran with integrity I refused to commit fraud to US govt, was retaliated against by managers, and lost my mind on the job. And now citizens wont accept my money to write a letter. This is a refusal of service. To a disabled man who cannot do this himself. This is American citizens and businesses, closing their door to a veteran who tried to do the right thing. If American citizens and businesses close their door to those who serve overseas, and serve domestically with integrity... then we are lost. There is no point in life at all.
Want to thank a veteran with PTSD who struggles with suicidal ideation? Want to talk him off the ledge?
If you are a customer, skip this business and go on to the next one. If you are the business owner, contact me and I will revise this review if and as appropriate.
That paralegal should be fired, or if thats just policy, the business owner who directs her to refuse service to disabled veterans facing their lifes biggest battle should be fired by Americans with integrity and decency.
