The American’s with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed into law in 1990. It was intended to protect the rights of individuals with disabilities. For the commercial real estate landlord, property manager or tenant, the ADA requires that access be provided to disabled persons. Disabled persons can sue to ensure access and may be awarded attorney’s fees and costs. ADA lawsuits can often be resolved by a reasonable approach to providing accommodations for disabled access and are almost always resolved short of trial.

Attorney D. Scott Barber has successfully represented property managers, landlords, and tenants who have been, or may be, involved in a dispute over the ADA. If you have questions about ADA issues, please submit your confidential question, or call Mr. Barber for a free and private consultation. He can be reached at (858) 847-3237.
