ADA & Disability Rights Attorneys

 

Our Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) attorneys handle class actions on behalf of persons with disabilities covered by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) who have been denied access to education, employment, business & government facilities and services on account of physical barriers which exist in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

 

The ADA prohibits discrimination against qualified people with disabilities in all aspects of employment, from applying for jobs to job training to earning wages.  As an ADA attorney will tell you, the act ensures that people with disabilities must have equal access to venues such as restaurants, theatres, medical offices, retail stores, libraries, private schools and museums, although the ADA does not apply to private homes and apartments.

 

Our ADA attorneys have handled matters on behalf of ADA clients with a wide range of disabilities including hard of hearing and deaf people, persons with mobility impairments, persons with learning disabilities, persons with vision impairments and many others protected by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

 

Our attorneys want to know if you are the victim of discrimination because of a disability in violation of the ADA. To contact an ADA attorney please fill out our ADA online consultation form and one of our ADA specialist attorneys will respond immediately. Our attorneys have successfully tried many ADA cases.
