Experience
  • A cross-office team of firm attorneys successfully helped obtain dismissal with prejudice in the case of Oberloh v. City of Mishawaka, Indiana et al, 3:12-cv-174 (N. D. Ind. ), which involved claims that the city violated Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act by failing to remedy more than 1,000 alleged barriers to access at city facilities and then purportedly retaliating against plaintiff and his wife after plaintiff complained about the alleged barriers. Plaintiff sought $20 million in damages. On Feb. 21, 2014, Judge James T. Moody adopted the report and recommendation of Magistrate Judge Christopher A. Nuechterlein dated Jan.
  • A non-profit health care organization sought Barnes & Thornburg LLP's assistance after an adverse finding by the government as part of an affirmative action audit. With the firm's assistance, the client successfully negotiated a conciliation agreement with the government. The audit has now been concluded with no further adverse findings.
