ADA / Disability Rights

Schneider Wallace Cottrell Brayton Konecky LLP attorneys handle both state-wide and national class actions on behalf of persons with disabilities who have been denied access to employment, business, education,  government facilities and services on account of physical barriers which exist in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)

Our law firm handles matters on behalf of clients with a wide range of disabilities including deaf and hard of hearing people, persons with mobility impairments, persons with vision impairments, persons with learning disabilities and many others protected by the Americans with Disabilities Act.

We have successfully challenged both physical barriers that limit access, as well as policies and procedures that impose unlawful limitations upon the full and equal participation of persons with disabilities as prescribed by the Americans with Disabilities Act. Please read about our recent victory against the administrators of the MCAT for discrimination against the learning disabled.

If you feel that you have been the victim of denial of access because of a disability, please fill out our online consultation form and an attorney for our firm will respond. We are committed to protecting the right of those protected by the Americans with Disabilities Act.

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 act does not apply to private homes and apartments.

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