Title: ADA Related Lawsuits

Attendees will review a broad range of ADA related suits and discuss what to do if you or a client get involved or sued.

Mr. Cohen also has experience representing property owners sued by the handicapped seeking to assert rights under Cal. Civil Code § 51, and 42 USC §12100 et seq. to equal treatment in public accommodations.
