Hello,
Can anyone on this list recommend some good disability rights lawyers in
Oregon, specifically in the Willamette Valley or Portland?
The state has cut our son's caregiver budget by $1300 dollars/month and his
caseworker, who is absolutely wonderful, suggested we might be a test case.
The Legal Aid and Advocay Groups are very very very busy, and one of the groups'
spokesperson told me that they'd never won a case against the state yet.
For my son to lose this funding will mean a blow to his self confidence. It
will also take away his freedom, something that at age 21 and a college
student, he needs to have.
Any information would be very helpful.
Thank you very much.

Thou hast made me known
to friends whom I knew not.
Thou has given me seats in homes not my own.
Thou has brought the distance near
and made a brother of the stranger.
