Roger Hedgecock, talk show host and restaurant owner, got hit with an ADA complaint. He made sure everyone knew the name and MO of the POS that was making the rounds to local restaurants.
Yes, I remember that incident. And .. I believe it was the beginning of the end for the FDA duo. Once they were exposed, they were refused service - which is a restaurant's perogative.
HERE ARE A FEW OF THE CASES HE HAS
WONDER WHERE ALL HIS MONEY GOES ( TO ALKADA POSSIBLY?)
Subject: ADA CASES GOLDMINE FOR PARASITE LAWYERS
http://www.adaabuse.com/pages/1/index.htm
This is about law firms going after small businesses under the "guise" of enforcing the ada act ( americans with disabilities act)
I think, just by looking at the sheer volume of cases they are doing it for profit ( at appx $8000 settlements per case times over 2000 cases) it is big money.
What I am focusing on here is just in the San diego area, nation wide it is enormus.
The lawer Pinnock had hundreds of cases on the books in federal court.
one of his "clients" Mr. Gash has many also ( all using Pinnocks firm) below is just a few, I have found hundereds by cross referencing them on the federal court acces site.
I found most settle out of court for about $8000, the ones that go to court ( at the request of the persons being suied) seem to be setteled in favor of the small businesses, or thrown out of court by the judge, never going before a jury as requested )
my advice ( request) it spread the word on this, make them ( and all the other lawyers that are doing this for profit) take every case to court.
also, complain to your local congress persons, the media, ect.
I have heard ( as we all have) of this going on, but until I actually looked at the federal court site and saw the volume of cases it did not have much meaning.
I HAVE SEVERAL MORE EXAMPLES AVALABLE ON REQUEST:
also, looking at the complaints being filed, it appears to be generated by a word processing programme, and the lawfirms just insert the names of the persons and businesses.
below are: CASES BY PINNOCK
there are hundreds more listed on the Federal court web site found by corss referencing some of their clients
