Litigated Americans with Disabilities Act accessibility claims against Detroit Metro Airport on behalf of individuals with disabilities, advancing ADA compliance in public transportation facilities.
Litigated accessibility rights on behalf of legally blind individuals against the Law School Admission Council (LSAC), challenging LSAT examination accommodations for visually impaired test-takers.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Each case is different and is decided on its own facts.
She is a Managing Partner at Nyman Turkish PC, based in California but licensed well beyond it. She earned her J.D. magna cum laude from Thomas Jefferson School of Law. She is admitted to the State Bar of California, several federal district courts, the Sixth Circuit, and the U.S. Supreme Court — so the cases she handles can travel from a hearing all the way up on appeal.
Social Security Disability, Workers' Compensation, and disability-rights litigation. She does not stop at benefit claims. She has taken ADA accessibility cases into federal court, including claims against Detroit Metro Airport and litigation over LSAT accommodations for legally blind test-takers. The signal for a worried client: she is willing to litigate, not just file paperwork.
She is licensed in California and admitted to the federal courts there — the Eastern and Northern Districts of California — plus the Eastern District of Michigan, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, and the Supreme Court of the United States. That spread of admissions lets one attorney stay on a case as it moves from a hearing to an appeal.
She tends to be described as someone who treats a case like it matters, because she is clear-eyed about what is riding on it. In her own words: 'Our clients come to us when everything is on the line — their health, their income, and their future.' The firm has taken on more than 50,000 clients on a no-fee-unless-we-win basis.

She earned her J.D. magna cum laude from Thomas Jefferson School of Law and a B.S. in Business Administration from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. The business degree matters here: it is part of why she runs the disability practice as a Managing Partner, not only argues the cases inside it.
