ADHD - Case of discrimination with multiple facets / Struggling to find an attorney to take the case

[mrspbwatts]

What is the name of your state? Kansas

I have filed with the KHRC and they filed with the EEOC regarding a request for accommodations that was met with inappropriate methods and procedures when requesting additional information, discrimination, and retaliation. I am struggling to find an attorney willing to take my case as part of my issue involved some tardiness.

Please advise.

Please furnish some more details about your situation. Is this in regards to a disability?

You might try contacting the Kansas Bar Association for help with names of lawyers in your area who handle employment discrimination cases.

I've already thought about that and I've already called Lawyer after Lawyer and have been turned down over and over.

First I want to thank you for starting your own thread. The poster from the 2003 thread from whom you wanted a response is no longer a member of this forum.

Have you made appointments to meet with any of the attorneys you've contacted? Many attorneys will not respond to phone call questions but will want a personal review of the facts.

In addition to trying the Kansas Bar, you can try to find an attorney through AttorneyPages at https://attorneypages.com

We don't know what problems you have had on your job.

Your employer doesn't have to allow you to be tardy. Leave earlier.

Maybe that should tell you that you don't have a case worth pursuing.

Yes, I have ADHD, Major Depressive Disorder, Obstructive Sleep Apnea, and possibly Narcolepsy and/or Excessive Daytime Sleepiness.

The first things you mentions are highly treatable conditions. You will need firm diagnosis of the Narcolepsy and EDS.

Are you using CPAP?

Are you on medication?

When was your last sleep study.

What accomodations are you seeking.

Narcolepsy is a sound reason for permanent disability - you may wish to consider that as an option.
