He is a frequent presenter, a trained mediator, a FINRA arbitrator (Chairperson eligible), and an arbitrator on the CPR employment panel. He is the author of Understanding the ADA, now in its 4th edition (ABA, 2013), and numerous articles on the rights of persons with disabilities.

Mr. Goren is the author of Understanding the ADA, now in its 4th edition, published by the American Bar Association — the most comprehensive practitioner guide to the ADA and a foundational reference for attorneys, advocates, and compliance professionals. He has been a member of numerous ABA committees, including the Legal Technology Resource Center Board (2017–2023), the Law Practice Section Client Development and Marketing Committee, the Law Practice Section Ethics and Professionalism Committee, and the Law Practice Section DEI Committee.

He is also a member of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Bar Association and the Sports Lawyers Association.

Professional Involvement

Mr. Goren chairs the FBA's Disability Best Practices Working Group, serves on the FBA Civil Rights Section Governing Board and its Amicus Committee, and is a member of multiple ABA committees across law practice, ethics, and DEI.

His ABA-published Understanding the ADA (4th ed.), his FBA Disability Best Practices Working Group leadership, his blog, his FINRA and CPR arbitrator roles, his LL.M. from DePaul, and his personal experience as a deaf professional who functions entirely in the hearing world through assistive technology together create a practice grounded in both legal and lived expertise that is unique in the disability rights field. His work spans the full spectrum of ADA-related needs — compliance consulting, legal representation, training, mediation, arbitration, and written advocacy — making him one of the most versatile and impactful voices in disability rights law today.
