Michael Nunez

Rosen, Bien, Galvan & Grunfeld, LLP

According to an article in a profile called "Public Access" Mr. Nunez is "a blind civil rights lawyer born with Leber congenital amaurosis, is building a career and a life beyond that career, on the idea that the good things life has to offer should be enjoyed by all. At 33, he's already taken on Airbnb, Uber, Lyft and the state of California regarding the availability of their services to everyone. And, he's just getting started."
