They Questioned the Disability and Never Requested the Proof

When I asked for accommodations, the Bar’s Deputy General Counsel wrote that it did not appear I needed help.

“At this time, it does not appear that you require assistance in preparing written submissions or in understanding or responding to correspondence from the State Bar.”

I had offered documentation of my disability. The Bar never requested it. It decided I did not need help without ever examining the proof that I did.

You cannot judge a disability you refuse to look at.
