I was not impressed

I was not impressed with Mr. Kershner, I hired him to fight charges against Loudoun Co Animal Control for being in violation of Federal ADA 28 CFR 35.138, Service animals, I am both mentally and physically disabled, covered under the ADA as well as my service dog. Mr. Kershner wasn't prepared at a...ll, he waited until the day of the trial to "prep" my witness an hour before the hearing, however, he showed up 45 minutes late and did not prep any of my witnesses and it turned into a mess. Since I am Disabled, he assured me that my doctors statement and state medical reports were enough to prove to the courts my disabilities, with the DA offering a continuance to have my doctor there, I asked if my doctor was needed, he replied no, which was another big mistake, He went in front of a judge with a legal document for injunctive relief, that had a MAJOR omission in it, I sent him an email stating that is wasn't true, but he submitted it to the courts without correcting it, thus making me look guilty. After reading over the transcripts of the Court hearing, it appeared that he was helping the DA with their case instead of defending me. I ended up being tried as a non-disabled person and therefore, my service dog was considered a pet and was taken from me by the courts. All because of Mr. Kershner’s inadequate preparation, it cost me a small fortune. I am now in Federal Court forcing Loudoun Co to comply with Federal ADA Law.
