Attorneys Contribute Time In Educating Latino Community About Workers’ Compensation Rights

Gail Bailey — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 17:32:35 +0000

In conjunction with the Georgia State Bar and the YLD’s Minorities In the Profession Committee, the Ramos Law Firm organized and presented “Law Day” to the Latin American Association in Atlanta, Georgia on June 27, 2009. The event was designed to provide an educational forum to spread awareness in the Latino community about their legal rights. Bryan Ramos, the founder and principal of the Ramos Law Firm, presented a seminar on the “Essential Elements of Workers’ Compensation” which was aimed at the specific obstacles particular to the Hispanic worker. Other seminars covered areas including immigration, family, criminal, and consumer law. Additionally, representatives from the Atlanta Legal Aid, Injured Workers’ Pharmacy, Georgia Legal Services, and the Georgia Law Center for the Homeless participated in the event.

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.

The Latin American Association helps Latino families achieve their aspirations for their academic, social and economic development. The Association accomplishes this through direct programs and integrated community partnerships that focus on youth academic achievement, education and prevention, and services to families with urgent needs.

On January 16, 2009, Gail Bailey presented Legal Administration and Technology at the Law Office Management for the Paralegal seminar offered by Institute for Paralegal Education. This was telecast via the web so attendees were not only in Atlanta but nationwide. Below you will find a link to the presentation material.

During the seminar Gail mentioned a digital recorder model that was not included in the material. The recorder mentioned was an Olympus DS-4000 and, as stated during the presentation, this model is being discontinued (according to a vendor of same).

Also, another productivity tool you may want to try is SplitView which is an inexpensive tool to split your monitor in half (as opposed to installing a second monitor).

If you have any questions, feel free to contact Gail.

RLF Attorneys Attend Advanced WC Institute In St. Simons

Gail Bailey — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 13:42:20 +0000

Bryan Ramos, James Timmons, Adriana Sola Capifali and Julia Lindsey participated in the annual Advanced Workers’ Compensation Institute in St. Simons Island, Georgia. The Institute’s meetings were held from October 2 through October 4. During this time, one topic discussed was the use and implementation of the Integrated Claims Management System (ICMS) at the State Board. Essentially, this computer based system is the State Board’s “online” or electronic filing system. The State Board is attempting to become “paperless” and produce “real time” results. Other topics covered included Professionalism, Recent Appellate Division Decisions, Chronic Pain Management, Legislative Changes, Discovery, and the Future of Workers’ Compensation in Georgia. “The topics discussed are very timely and useful to the everyday practice of workers’ compensation,” said J.J. Timmons.

The Ramos Law Firm attorneys annually attend the Institute. According to Bryan Ramos, “[t]he Committee did a fine job at organizing the seminars and I understand that the Institute raised a substantial amount of money for the Kids’ Chance Foundation, which benefits the children of catastrophically injured workers.”
