Summary
Discrimination by a lawyer in court is not allowed, and lawyers must follow professional conduct rules prohibiting discrimination based on protected characteristics. If you experience discrimination due to autism, document incidents, file a complaint with the Ohio Supreme Courts Office of Disciplinary Counsel, and seek legal advice. If a judge violates your ADA rights, consider appealing the decision, filing a complaint with the U.S. Department of Justice, and consulting a disability rights attorney. In Ohio, the right to private phone calls with your child depends on custody arrangements and court orders. Supervised visitation orders can be challenged if issued without evidence by filing a motion to modify visitation and gathering supporting evidence.Full Conversation
is discrimination by a lawyer allowed in court?
Hi Abby! Discrimination by a lawyer in court is not allowed. Lawyers must adhere to professional conduct rules, which prohibit discrimination based on race, color, religion, gender, national origin, and other protected characteristics.
Do you believe you have experienced discrimination by a lawyer?
I was discriminated against in court by a family lawyer citing my autism meltdowns as a reason to take my kids
I'm really sorry to hear that, Abby. Discrimination based on disability, including autism, is prohibited under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Here are some steps you can consider:
- Document everything: Keep records of all instances of discrimination, including dates, times, and what was said.
- File a complaint: You can file a complaint with the Ohio Supreme Court's Office of Disciplinary Counsel.
- Seek legal advice: Consider consulting with an attorney who specializes in disability discrimination or family law.

Am I allowed private phone calls with my child?
Case Rating: *
In Ohio, the right to private phone calls with your child can be influenced by the custody arrangement and court orders. Generally, courts favor maintaining the parent-child relationship, so you may have the right to private communication unless restricted by a specific court order.
Is there a specific court order or custody arrangement in place impacting your communication with your child?
I was ordered supervised visitation with no evidence that the children being in my care would be a detriment to them.
Case Rating: *
Hi Abby. In Ohio, supervised visitation orders can be challenged if you believe they were issued without sufficient evidence. Here are a few steps you might consider:
- File a motion to modify visitation: Request a change in the visitation order based on the lack of evidence.
- Gather evidence: Collect any documentation or testimony that supports your ability to care for your children without supervision.
