A Resource or Two

I've been sending out resources individually, so I figured I'd write a post for it with all the info I have. Please feel free to comment with any additional resources you'd like to share! I've been asked for my lawyer a lot in handling disability claims. I was originally referred to Miryam Gorelashvili, she has never lost a case, and doesn't get paid if you don't - so winning is in her best interest as well: miryam@mcmglaw.comThere's a TBI Tribe group with 5000 people who understand sharing the good, the bad, questions, etc. https://www.facebook.com/groups/792052120888627/An additional big group, is Post Concussive...
