About this title

About the Author

Lanny Perkins is a Dallas-based attorney whose practice includes working with a number of people who have multiple sclerosis and face the issues discussed in this book. Sara Perkins is an attorney who has multiple sclerosis and retired from active practice on disability, but remains an active volunteer with her local chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, especially in the area of legal issues. Lanny and Sara believe that the more we learn about our rights and responsibilities under the law, the more useful we can be in our work, in our family life, and as citizens. Their awareness of the ways in which the legal problems common to people with MS are influenced by the course of their medical condition have led them to work with individuals and advocacy groups to develop a better understanding of these issues.
