Would you Appeal?
After several years of hard work, I was fired from a large firm shortly after I informed the Human Resources of a disability.
We have deposition testimony from the defendant that they were told of the disability, the person I told meet with my boss and subsequent accommodations were made. According to the judge, that does not provide any fact my boss did anything on purpose since they claim they never told him and never came in with a list of specific demands.
They claim one had nothing to do with the other, even though my boss testified I was up for promotion the day before I talked to HR who was fired shortly after filing this case. According to my lawyer the defendant was required by ADA to launch an investigation once they were informed of my disability. Considering the defendant admitted under oath they were informed of my disability but did nothing about it, my counsel thought we had a good chance of winning. The judge said it has no bearing on his decision because there are no facts and threw it out before it even got to trial.
If you were in my place, would you appeal the judges opinion? If so would you look for new representation?
Re: Would you Appeal?
Appeal? Sure, if you're willing to pay the substantial fees and costs of doing so - and if you think the judge's decision was based on an error of law or fact. Get an appellate attorney to do so; if your trial lawyer does appeals, hire him if he tells you he thinks you have grounds for appeal and if you have a comfort level with what he did in the trial. If not, feel free to contact me if serious about appealing.
