"Mold" Case vs Workers Compensation (Dallas ISD)

Not certain where to start since my case is very unusual and many attorneys I either spoke to or visited never thought I had a chance of winning...they ALL denied me assistance!! I have to agree with them ONLY if I had hired them to represent me. But God blessed me to meet "Ugy" in March 2013 and she... was the ONLY one who believed she could win... and we did!!! It is important to note that when Ugy was hired to represent me, I had recently lost my first hearing and I was devastated. She literally resurrected my case because we immediately had to fight the Appeal Panel (who voted against me)...our argument was that we never received transcript of the hearing (which we were entitled to having) so we could properly address our concerns thus delaying us meeting our scheduled deadline. After being sick for several months, I was diagnosed in October 2011 with a chronic lung disease (Hypersensitive Pneumonitis) which I developed from exposure of "mold" in my office. I was employed with Dallas ISD and my office sustained severe flooding continuously over 4 years that was documented and assessed but never addressed. There was actual mold coming out of the walls and on the base of the floor. I had to undergo open lung biopsy and experience severe breathing problem, chronic cough, fatigue, congestion, and chest pain where I could no longer work and had to be placed on disability with a loss of approx. 67% of my salary. Ugy was determined and committed to winning my case and never made me think otherwise. She always made me feel that I was valued not just as a client but as a person who had been wronged and she wanted to "right my wrong". I love how detailed she is and leaves no stone unturned...She thinks outside the box anticipated their next move, and always preparing in advance. I would often be concerned about her lack of rest because she gets consumed with servicing her clients and neglect herself. I truly believe that she has a "true spiritual calling" as an attorney and God has given her a legal platform for her ministry and mission to serve. No other attorney could have won my case for I am totally convinced of this...It is ironic and surprising that we were unable to research and find another "mold" case on record. Ugy discovered that in 1989, courts started denying mold cases to be heard because they felt they could not be proven. Even before 1989, no "molds" cases could be found which I am sure for various reasons...I am the first "mold" case you will find on record....history making!! Even the Attorney General Office got involved in my case to fight against me with Dallas ISD....I still wonder... WHY? They had no involvement with my case. Even this did not intimidate Ugy...she fought even harder!!! So many tricks and manipulations were played throughout my case but Ugy defeated them all!!! It has truly been a journey with both my legal case and health wise but I am a winner through it all! My health has greatly improved after years of suffering, and my legal matter has come to a close. I am so grateful for God is truly good and in my heart I know that Ugy has been my God send!! I highly recommend anyone and everyone to consider her as your legal council if you ever need one. I have already recommended three other clients, and they all praise her!
