Disability Law Experts Applaud Newar Law’s Precedent-Setting Victory In ADA Service Dog Case

As we discussed in our 5/27/25 blog below, the Fifth Circuit recently ruled that Aldine ISD may have violated the ADA, the Rehabilitation Act, and Texas’ disability discrimination law by unnecessarily delaying approval of our client, Alisha Strife’s, request to work with her service dog as a reasonable accommodation of her disabilities.

Since the Fifth Circuit ruled on May 16, 2025, disability law experts have recognized the beneficial impact of the Fifth Circuit’s decision for disabled employees. See https://www.newarlaw.com/blog/disability-law-experts-applaud-newar-laws-precedent-setting-victory-in-ada-service-dog-case

The case now returns to Houston federal court, where Newar Law will continue vigorously fighting for Ms. Strife and other disabled employees’ right to reasonable accommodation of their disabilities.
