Klinedinst’s ADA Compliance and Defense attorneys regularly defend and successfully resolve accessibility claims brought against our clients under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Unruh Civil Rights Act, and other federal and state anti-discrimination statutes. Our attorneys are well-versed in defending against physical access/barrier claims in both state and federal courts and know how to maximize the legal protections available to clients already in compliance with federal and state accessibility laws or clients willing to take swift action to ensure compliance.
Klinedinst recognizes that a pro-active approach can eliminate or significantly reduce future litigation expenditures so that our clients can focus on growing and succeeding in their businesses. Our attorneys work closely with clients and accessibility experts to craft legally compliant policies and procedures and ensure that future allegations of inaccessibility are avoided to the maximum extent possible.
