User:David Traver

I am a lawyer licensed in the State of Wisconsin in the United States. I work to win a subsistence living for those who cannot work due to their disabilities. I also work on behalf of disabled children to help families overcome the financial and medical burdens caused by a child's disabilities. Due to America's antiquated and demonically inefficient disability adjudication system, thousands have been improperly denied basic subsistence and health care. Disability advocacy is an interesting profession, which gives me the opportunity to meet many disabled and disadvantaged people, and to work for many of them. Hopefully, I help move things in the direction of goodness for those in need.

I have a bachelor and master degrees in education (vocational rehabilitation with a specialty in vocational evaluation) from the University of Wisconsin-Stout. My Juris Doctor is from the University of Wisconsin Law School.
