ADA Building Compliance
ADA Building Compliance Lawyer
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires that public buildings have adequate access for people with disabilities. A complaint can mean fines and a requirement to retrofit the building to meet requirements.
At the Sullivan, Ward, Asher & Patton law firm, we work with clients to assure compliance and to represent them in the event they are accused of non-compliance. From offices in Southfield, Michigan, and Chicago, Illinois, we represent clients throughout the Midwest and across the country.

Developers and builders are aware of the need to assure accessibility for all those who can be expected to visit, live in or work in a building. Sometimes, however, the regulations may not be fully understood and incorporated into plans. As a result, claims due to alleged non-compliance may be asserted by individuals or state/federal government agencies.
Focus on compliance: The least expensive way to deal with ADA compliance is to build accessibility into the plans for a building or development. Our lawyers (including the lawyers who are also professional engineers) can review the regulations with you to make sure you are in full compliance with ADA regulations.
Types of issues: ADA compliance includes a large number of issues such as wheelchair access, ramps, restrooms, drinking fountains, elevators, alarms, signs, assembly areas, stadiums, sports arenas, and many more.
Litigation and arbitration: Our attorneys are thoroughly experienced with litigation and alternative dispute resolution including mediation and arbitration. We will investigate the case and prepare for trial. By knowing the case well and understanding the issues, you will be well represented.
