I
would like to take this opportunity to introduce ADA Compliance
Specialists, Inc., and briefly inform you about our services.
We
are your one-stop-shop to ADA compliance. We work exclusively
for the defense and have no association with any of the non-profit
groups who bring ADA suits against the business community.
These
lawsuits are called "drive by lawsuits." The plaintiff
commonly sues several businesses in the area on the same day.
Basically, it is legal extortion; the plaintiffs' goal being
to have their attorneys' fees and costs paid for by you. There
are some ethical plaintiffs and lawyers who do not consider
ADA litigation just a money machine, but unfortunately this
represents only a small group. Don't fall victim to their
game when help is available.
We
offer a low cost, comprehensive ADA inspection to alert the
property owner as to the facility's violations in a formal
ADA Inspection Report. The facility inspection is always part
of an ADA lawsuit. The plaintiff, in the body of the Complaint,
requests the court to allow their own inspector to inspect
the facility at a price you have no control over. This is
one way they build up costs. You and your attorney need to
hire your own inspector at a price you control and have agreed
to. You do not want to rely on their inspector's report, as
they will demand modifications that may not be "readily
achievable." "Readily achievable" is an ADA
term that means easily accomplishable and done without much
cost or burden. This is the best defense that a property owner
has in their ADA litigation. However, "readily achievable"
is very ambiguous and many property owners and attorneys rely
and benefit from an ADA consultant's experience and knowledge
regarding this issue.
Once
the inspection is conducted, and the client and counsel have
reviewed the Inspection Report, we can arrange for an ADA
experienced contractor with a proven ADA compliance track
record to submit an estimate to correct the violations. The
contractor's estimate is a key component to establishing a
defense.
Through
time and experience we have established our company as one
of the country's leading experts on Americans With Disabilities
Act discrimination lawsuit defense. We consult with the client
and their attorney on the best way to defend an ADA discrimination
lawsuit and keep costs down.
Many
times we are hired by your attorney rather than by you directly.
Often the client feels more comfortable if we deal directly
with their lawyer, and many times the Inspection Report can
be kept confidential via attorney-client privilege.
In
addition to the initial facility inspection and written report
we offer the following services for no additional fee:
·
Defense Strategy Consultation (Buckhannon)
· IRS Small Business Disabled Tax Credit Information
and Forms
· Post Compliance Inspection
· ADA Experienced General Contractor Referral
· Deposition and/or Court Appearance as Expert Witness
Please
review the enclosed information, and I look forward to speaking
with you soon. Remember, you will want to act in a timely
manner as you only have 20 days to file an answer to the lawsuit
once you have been served. All inspection fess are based on
square footage of the actual facility, excluding parking lots.
We
look forward to your call at (305) 993-1643.
Best Regards:
Dave
