Adelaide hears through cochlear implants; she follows closely the issue of disability in the workplace, staying in touch with how other deaf or hard-of-hearing lawyers or professionals are going in their career and how they advocate for equal opportunity and social justice.

“We work with clients at some of the most stressful times in their lives. So we see it as an achievement when we are able to guide a client through the legal process from the start to finish in a way that is most practical, time-efficient and cost-effective.”
