“Georgia has the second fastest growing Asian-American population in the United States,” commented Bryan Ramos, “however, their interests are generally under represented in leadership roles in government.”  The event was designed to unify the Asian-American community.

According to the Georgia Department of Community Affairs, over 75,000 Georgians experienced homelessness in 2008.  “In this devastating economy, our community must pull together and do whatever we can to help,” stated Bryan Ramos, a workers’ compensation attorney at the Ramos Law Firm. “Providing a simple dinner to a group of families can go a long way.  Being homeless is hopefully a temporary situation.  If our firm can assist in one step of the process, we are all the better.”  Ramos continued.  The Genesis Shelter provides many services to assist families such as a counseling, child development, and after-care programs.

According to Bryan Ramos, “the workers’ health is the most important aspect of the claim.  It is critical that the workers receive quality medical care to make them whole again if possible.” The lawyers also handled questions about weekly income benefits, wages, and formulation of the workers’ compensation rate.  The legal question of a worker’s death and dependent benefits were also answered as many Hispanic workers have dangerous occupations and job duties. The entire interview was conducted in Spanish.

According to Adriana Sola Capifali, the event chairperson and workers’ compensation associate at the Ramos Law Firm, the participation was “ten times that of prior events.” Through these efforts, she hopes to further the mission of “representing Hispanic workers and preventing any unfair exploitation.” The attorneys at the Ramos Law Firm have handled hundreds of claims including spinal cord injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome, knee and shoulder pain, amputation injuries, and neurological trauma.

In appreciation for those fundraising efforts we recently received this certificate which tells the story of Chase.  Chase is an 11 year old boy who had a “puppy wish”.  Make-A-Wish, with the help of all its donors, was able to provide Chase with a puppy and the means to care for that puppy for quite some time.
