Cheryl Coon has founded Refugee Disability Benefits of Oregon (RDBO), which accepts refugee clients for representation in their disability cases by referral from state and local agencies, health care providers, caseworkers, mental health providers, refugee agencies, community leaders and others who care for refugees.
RDBO takes a unique approach in which attorney Cheryl Coon works closely with health care providers, case managers and counselors, as well as the refugees they serve, to ensure that refugees’ cases are presented competently and compassionately at every step of the disability process, from initial application to hearing to federal court.
