A complaint was filed in Federal Court, and the case was presented via mediation in which the deputy fire chief made numerous false complaints alleging that the Riverside Fire Chief was intoxicated while on duty. Though the complaints were proven false the Village Board fired the chief anyways perceiving the chief as disabled due to alcohol dependence. We achieved a settlement of $350,000 for the former Fire Chief of the Village of Riverside, after he was unlawfully terminated from his position prevailing on the theory that the Village violated the Americans with Disability Act (ADA). 11 cv 8200 (2013)
