Rocket Lawyer

A vision for justice. Laws are intended to protect and empower us—but for many, justice is out of reach. Most small businesses and hard-working, everyday people don’t have access to affordable legal services to help them put their affairs in writing or enforce their rights with reliable counsel.

“At Rocket Lawyer, we want to make the digital tools of justice available to more people than ever before. I’m proud to say that since our founding in 2008, nearly 30 million people have created Rocket Lawyer accounts. That equates to over 1 in 9 American adults who can make and sign legal documents, get affordable attorney advice, and incorporate their businesses with confidence. That’s legal made simple.”

Founder and CEO

Disability Rights
Disability Rights Commission of Tennessee

Disability Rights Commission

The ABA’s  (American Bar Association) Commission on the Mentally Disabled was established in 1973 to respond to the advocacy needs of persons with mental disabilities. It further branched out to other civil concerns for disabilities such as Down syndrome, Autism, and paraplegia. Install ramps for employees and clients with disabilities, warning signs for neighborhoods and parks, and other advocacies. 

What is Autism?

Autism, or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects how a person communicates, interacts socially, and processes information. It’s called a “spectrum” because it varies widely from person to person—some people need a lot of support in daily life, while others may live independently.

Common characteristics include:

  • Challenges with social communication (like reading body language or understanding tone)

  • Repetitive behaviors or routines

  • Deep focus or strong interest in specific topics

  • Sensory sensitivities (like being very sensitive to sounds, lights, or textures)

Autism is not an illness or something to be “fixed.” It’s a different way of experiencing the world. Many autistic individuals have incredible strengths in areas like memory, creativity, or attention to detail.

Awareness and acceptance are key. Everyone deserves understanding and the space to thrive in their own way 💙
