For dental practices
ADA Shield by Help Lawyer keeps a dated, tamper-evident record of your website accessibility and privacy measures, and gives your office manager a step-by-step playbook and ready-to-edit templates for ADA and website-privacy demand letters.
Our free check shows which tracking technologies load on your practice's website before a patient can consent.
Early bird $1,997 a year (list $2,497), held for your first three renewals while you stay a member. Referred by your CPA or marketing agency? Your partner rate is $1,497. 50 of 50 dental seats remaining. Closes December 31, 2026.
Your website is now your front door. Online booking, new-patient forms, chat, call tracking and ad pixels were mostly added by a marketing agency, and very few practices have a record of what was installed or why.
Two kinds of letters follow from that:
A visitor using a screen reader says they could not book, read your services or reach your forms.
A firm claims your chat tool, session recording or tracking pixels intercepted visitor communications or passed booking details to third parties without consent. These claims are brought under state wiretap laws, with California, Florida and Pennsylvania the most active, and under the federal Wiretap Act. They can reach any practice whose website residents of those states visit.
Most practices have no in-house counsel. The letter lands with the office manager, the clock is short, and the first instinct is to call the agency that built the site. That call rarely produces a record.
A blind plaintiff sued Greenberg Dental & Orthodontics in federal court, alleging that the website’s headings and focus order kept him from reaching the appointment form with a screen reader.
Espinal v. Greenberg Dental Associates, M.D. Fla. Allegations, not findings.
The Dentists Insurance Company reported a claim against a dental office brought by a deaf visitor over patient review videos without captions. The claim settled.
A court gave final approval to an $18 million class settlement over tracking pixels on Aspen Dental’s online booking pages that allegedly sent visitor information to Meta and Google. Aspen denied wrongdoing.
Donnelly v. Aspen Dental Management.
The tools in the Aspen case, ad pixels on a booking page, are the same kind many marketing agencies add to practice websites.

ADA Shield by Help Lawyer is not a HIPAA program. Our Privacy Policy template is a website privacy policy; it is not a HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices. Cookie consent manages website cookies; it does not make tracking on patient-facing pages HIPAA-safe. Your HIPAA obligations, including any Business Associate Agreements with your website and marketing vendors, stay with your practice and your HIPAA advisers.
ADA Shield by Help Lawyer does not provide attorneys or legal advice, and it does not guarantee that a claim will not be made. It gives you the record and the process. If you want counsel, you can hire any attorney in the Help Lawyer network directly.

Pricing is per website. If your group runs separate location sites or sub-sites, each counts as its own website; we confirm how your site is set up before quoting. Early bird prices hold for your first three renewals. Early bird closes December 31, 2026 or when 50 dental seats are taken.
Your ADA Shield by Help Lawyer membership is a business expense your practice can deduct in full. Small practices may also be eligible for a federal accessibility credit; whether the membership counts toward that credit is a decision for your CPA.
ADA Shield by Help Lawyer is an annual subscription your practice pays to run its business, which makes it an ordinary and necessary business expense, deductible in full under Internal Revenue Code Section 162.
The Disabled Access Credit (Internal Revenue Code Section 44) is available to businesses with 30 or fewer full-time employees or $1 million or less in revenue in the prior year.
It equals 50% of eligible access expenditures between $250 and $10,250 a year, so the most it can be is $5,000. It can be claimed every year the business has eligible expenses, on IRS Form 8826.
The IRS and the Justice Department give examples such as removing barriers, accessibility services, materials in alternate formats and equipment. Neither names website accessibility subscriptions.
If your CPA confirms the credit applies, the arithmetic is 50% of the membership above $250: a $873.50 credit on the $1,997 early bird, or $623.50 on the $1,497 partner rate. Either way, the membership is deducted as a business expense. One rule applies if you take the credit: the credit amount itself can't also be deducted (Section 44(d)(7)), so the deduction covers the rest ($1,123.50 or $873.50).
