Now that I've found an attorney who specializes in ADA.... next step
is to request an interpreter... they won't provide an interpreter...
duh... they, like the doctor, expect me to bring my interpreter...
yeah, right.... they specialize in ADA, yet they refuse to provide
interpreter... what an ironic twist...

What good is ADA when you can't communicate with an attorney?

There's only one signing attorney in the area, but this attorney only
serves MD and DC, not Virginia... I'm in Virginia... damn...

Meanwhile, I'm filing complaints to DOJ and state attorney while I'm
in contact with the NAD Law Center...
