Took my information, then......nothing

They don’t even answer the phone

Just another scam nonprofit. Just worried about enriching themselves. Waste of time. Believe all the one star ratings.

This is a non-profit and the impression that I have gotten is that they are working extremely hard with the limited resources they have, fighting for the rights of people who cant fight for themselves. After meeting several of the people that work here and seeing how hard they work and how passionate they are about the rights of their clients and people with disabilities in general I personally find the negative reviews questionable, although I dont know the full story behind them.

Never calling here again. I had an awful experience with Intake Specialist, Kady. It was obvious that she had her attention fixed somewhere else. I had to explain my problem twice because she wasnt paying attention the first time. The second time, I once again thoroughly explained my situation, but out of all of the things I said, she only noted down one unimportant detail that didnt need to be noted. A week later, I waited, but I never received a call from an attorney to follow up on my case... I believe my file was dismissed, and the reason was because she made it look like my situation wasnt serious enough by purposely writing down one unimportant detail out of everything I said. Explaining my situation the second time was no use because I believe she noticed that I was bothered that I had to explain my problem all over again, and thats why she purposely did what she did. I dont know how she was hired, she is unprofessional. Not to mention she sounded uninterested in my serious matter. I had no problems with the receptionist, she was friendly and she did a much better job at handling callers than Kady did. Fast forward a week later, and thankfully I have sought help elsewhere, and I got my own attorney to represent me and my case. Again, I will not be contacting this place ever again.

Its my job! I love the people, the work we do and our causes!

I contacted Disability Rights NC, Carolina Place, 3724 National Dr #100, Raleigh, NC 27608 via phone last June I believe in 2016. I am having issues with my physical health and the apartment I am living in has been detrimental to my physical and mental health. For months disability rights attorney and I talked. Later on I also signed their contract. Then Fair Housing filed a discrimination suit Sept 2016 and 10 days later I got a non renewal of lease notice for my apartment of 20 years telling me that my lease would expired Dec. 31st 2016. If I had money would I stay in an apartment that is making me sick??? My disability is mental illness. Upon receiving non renewal notice I began to struggle mentally. Because Legal Aid had told me that retaliation was illegal. Fair Housing visited management earlier that year and told them that retaliation would not be tolerated. I believed that they would protect me. They lied to me. They wont protect you either.I was writing both attorney and fair housing rep and telling them that I was getting sick again. January 1st I can not pay the non HUD assisted rent. I go to eviction court on January 13th. The other side asked for a continuance until Feb. 7th. In the court house on Jan. 13 both attorneys (disability rights and legal aid) informed me that I was going to be evicted even though I have no money to move. Both attorneys said that yes it is retaliation and they do understand how bad the living conditions are. Then I hear disability rights attorney tell legal aid attorney, If she is not going to be living there, there isnt anything for me to do. Then we went outside of the courthouse and went our on ways. I didnt hear anything about we will be in touch. Ill talk to you later or anything to cause me to NOT believe that the disability rights attorney was gone for good. Of course legal aid attorney has been ignoring me because they all think I should give up my rights that legal aid and fair housing said was my right do to. Such as filing a discrimination suit or contacting a disability attorney.In a major panic and very low blood oxygen I went to find a lawyer and put in my situation trying to get help. As far as I knew I didnt have any attorneys anymore.A few days later the disability rights attorney called me and told me that she could not help me. She told me that I had talked to someone after she told me not to talk to anyone. I explained that both she and the other attorney gave me the impression that they were dumping me when we were at the courthouse Jan. 13, 2016. She said that we just dont get along...yada, yada, yada. She said that yes I do have a case. But I dont have any money to hire an attorney because I am poor. So I was left high and dry. Abandoned by disability rights of NC. Why? It feels like that they do not want to be bothered representing people with mental health issues. She dumped me knowing that I would not be able to afford an attorney to help me. She did not have any mercy, empathy or real compassion and that was loud and clear to me.If you have mental health and physical health issues that interfere with your cognitive skills do not call disability rights of NC. They will act like they want to help but really are not going to do a thing to help you. Especially if you really need help.I was thrown under the bus even though I do have a discrimination case that is useless without an attorney to help me.

I needed help with a decision being made about the care I am getting for my disability and was told they dont help with disability, that kind of disability. Gee thanks..

Not worth the time and effort.
