The ADA requires businesses open to the public to remove physical barriers and ensure access for individuals with disabilities. When a physical or virtual property feature or policy fails to meet legal standards, it may qualify as a violation—even without any intent to discriminate.
Common violations include:
-
Inaccessible parking or entryways
-
Improper restroom layouts
-
Missing or misaligned signage
-
Counters or pathways that exceed height or clearance limits
-
Failure to provide auxiliary aids or alternative formats
ADA Defense Attorneys | BWA Law Group APC
In California, a single misstep with accessibility compliance can trigger costly litigation. BWA Law Group APC defends businesses across Southern California against claims brought under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and related state laws. Our ADA Defense Lawyers guide companies through active lawsuits, demand letters, and ongoing compliance issues, helping them protect operations and avoid unnecessary exposure. We represent businesses facing ADA class actions, including high-volume lawsuits targeting multiple locations or systemic accessibility claims. BWA Law Group APC also handles Website ADA Compliance defense lawsuits, and we help guide you through the complicated process.
These claims often arrive without warning. It is not uncommon for California businesses to face aggressive ADA litigation from serial plaintiffs who target multiple companies with similar accessibility claims, often seeking quick settlements rather than genuine accessibility improvements. Whether filed in federal or state court, ADA allegations can disrupt your business, damage your reputation, and lead to mounting legal fees. We help you respond quickly, assess real liability, and take steps that limit disruption and reduce future risk.
The Americans with Disabilities Act creates complex obligations for businesses that serve the public, but many ADA lawsuits target technical violations that don't actually prevent disabled individuals from accessing services. Understanding the difference between legitimate accessibility barriers and technical compliance issues can mean the difference between reasonable resolution and devastating legal costs.
Our attorneys defend businesses throughout Orange County, Los Angeles, Riverside, San Diego and San Bernardino counties, and we know how ADA litigation works in California's federal courts. Our team provides aggressive defense while exploring settlement options that protect your business from repeat claims. Call (888) 929-2529 for your free consultation to discuss your ADA lawsuit or compliance concerns.
Our mediation process is clear, focused, and built to keep discussions productive. When representing a client in mediation, we come in with a strong understanding of the legal and business framework, ready to support a resolution that aligns with your priorities.

These issues can arise in retail stores, restaurants, hotels, office buildings, medical clinics, and any public-facing facility. Many cases target architectural elements installed years ago or rely on technical guidelines business owners have never seen. Business websites have also been targeted.

OUR CLIENT'S FEEDBACK
"I used this firm some time ago to assist me in defending a bogus defamation claim. Not only did the firm prevail, they also received a court order for the attorney's fees I had to pay to defend myself. Jeremy and Christian, both very informative and insightful. I would highly recommend this firm.
