Serial ADA litigants have shifted strategy. After exhausting retail and hospitality targets, plaintiffs' attorneys are now filing against professional services firms — including law firms, expert witness practices, and legal consulting businesses.
An inaccessible website is not just a liability for your clients. It is a liability for your practice. A demand letter arriving at your firm is not only expensive to defend — it is a credibility crisis.
The Americans with Disabilities Act requires that websites be perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust for all users. Courts have consistently held that websites are places of public accommodation under Title III. Non-compliance is not a technicality. It is exposure.
ADA Shield manages every layer of WCAG 2.1 AA compliance for your practice and your clients.
Deploy a fully functional WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility toolbar to any website in minutes. Works on WordPress, Brilliant Directories, and any platform. Includes text resizing, high contrast, dyslexia font, reading guide, and motor navigation tools.
Every practice gets a professionally drafted, legally credible WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility statement hosted at a permanent URL on adashield.org. Generated in seconds, updated instantly, publicly verifiable.
When a demand letter arrives, ADA Shield surfaces a professionally drafted response template calibrated to the letter type — serial litigant, legitimate claim, or DOJ complaint. Auto-populated with your client's compliance record.
Every scan, statement version, page monitored, and demand letter logged creates a documented compliance history. In a dispute, your client's due diligence is provable. That changes the negotiating position entirely.
