ADA WEBSITE DEFENSE ATTORNEYS
At Darkhorse Attorneys, we provide strategic legal representation for businesses who are being wrongfully sued for alleged website-related violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Sadly, there are many law firms in the United States that seek to take advantage of small businesses like yours by threatening expensive litigation and filing indefensible ADA lawsuits.
If you have received a complaint or demand letter regarding a lawsuit against you alleging ADA violations on your website, you should speak with an attorney before you contact opposing counsel or make payments of any kind. Should you receive such a letter, you should speak to an experienced ADA website defense attorney as soon as possible in order to protect your livelihood, address the claims against you, and protect your business.
WHAT TO DO WHEN YOUR WEBSITE GETS SUED FOR AN ADA CLAIM
As soon as you receive a complaint or demand letter from an attorney, your first instinct may be to panic and attempt to resolve the matter by contacting them. However, doing so can irreparably harm your ability to protect your best interests throughout the rest of the lawsuit.
Commonly asked questions about ADA Website Defense in Virginia and national cases:
- How do I know if my website is ADA compliant?
- What are the requirements to make my website compliant?
- What are the penalties for ADA website non-compliance?
We can answer each of your questions. Please note, if you receive notice that you are being sued for ADA violations on your website, do NOT under any circumstances do any of the following:
- call, email, or otherwise attempt to engage opposing counsel;
- make payments of any kind to the plaintiff or their attorney;
- post about it on social media or your website;
- throw out the letter or ignore notice of the lawsuit; or
- wait to get in touch with an attorney.
Our attorneys are ready to help you.

At Darkhorse Attorneys, we have defended small business owners against the aggressive tactics of lawyers and law firms whose entire practice is focused on taking advantage of people like you. We understand how such attorneys operate, and we know what it takes to defeat their unfounded claims in court.
Be especially cautious if you have received a demand letter or notice of a lawsuit from any of the following law firms or attorneys:

- Joseph Manning (Manning Law Firm)
- Anoush Hakimi and Peter Shahriari (Hakimi & Shahriari)
