Cracking down on ADA lawsuit abuse
March 19, 2013
By Joseph Perkins
I was a White House staff member when George H.W. Bush was in the Oval Office. I remember well when he signed the Americans With Disabilities Act into law, insisting that it would not “lead endlessly to litigation.”
Not in his wildest nightmares did Bush envision a serial litigant like Alfredo Garcia. The illegal immigrant (no, he’s not even a U.S. citizen) has filed more than 600 lawsuits against mostly mom and pop businesses in Southern California claiming ADA violations.
A convicted felon, Garcia hasn’t had a proper job in years. Nevertheless, he has made a pretty good living for himself shaking down small businesses, many of which happen to be owned by immigrants just like him (except that they are not professional plaintiffs).
Indeed, Garcia has testified in court that he usually makes about $4,000 a case. In 2008, that added up to $125,000 in legal settlements, according to an investigative report that aired last week on KABC-TV in Los Angeles.
Yet Garcia has claimed under oath that he made only $16,500 in settlements in 2008. He low-balled his earnings so that he would qualify for fee waivers on his hundreds of ADA lawsuits.
Each case should have cost the serial litigant a $300 filing fee. But instead of paying nearly $195,000 for his more than 600 ADA lawsuits, Garcia got away with paying nothing by pleading poverty.
The trial lawyer behind the serial scammer
Of course, Garcia wouldn’t have been able to generate so many lawsuits, and wouldn’t have been able to obtain waivers on all them, without legal assistance. And that was provided by his long-time trial lawyer Morse Mehrban, who earns a 50 percent contingency fee on all of his client’s ADA litigation.
In fact, ADA litigation makes up three-quarters of Mehrban’s legal practice, he told KABC. So prolific is the trial lawyer that his firm accounted for 30 percent of ADA lawsuits filed in L.A. County in 2010.
Mehrban sees nothing wrong with shaking down small immigrant-owned dry cleaners or nail salons. “Isn’t every lawsuit technically extortion?” he told KABC.
Moreover, Mehrban thinks that Garcia and the other ADA clients (he represents a couple dozen at a time) are somehow performing a public service with their litigation.
“I’m actually encouraged by it,” he said, “because it shows that people are doing something. They are standing up for their rights.”
Well, the only “right” Mehrban’s clients are standing up for is the dubious right to file spurious ADA claims not for the purpose of fighting discrimination against the disabled –- which was the law’s original intent -– but to earn themselves money for nothing.
Finally, good news on shakedown suits
Gov. Jerry Brown last year enacted a measure, SB 1186, intended to rein in ADA shakedown suits and discourage serial litigants like Garcia. It reduced potential damages to as little as $1,000 from the previous minimum of $4,000, but it posed no real deterrent to ADA plaintiffs.
The real game changer was not a piece of legislation but a California Supreme Court ruling this past December in which the justices held, for the first time, that plaintiffs who lose ADA lawsuits are liable for the defendant’s attorney’s fees.
That court ruling scared the bejeebers out of even a serial litigant like Garcia — so much so that he has sworn off of filing any new ADA lawsuits.

Unintended consequences. Great idea with absolutely tragic application.
Nice article Mr. Perkins.
These ADA scams can very easily be stopped.
If the people filing these scams really care for their rights should have no objection to my suggestion below.
When the ADA compliance claim is filed it should be first filed with the building and safety dept or any other dept. that is responsible for ADA and a copy sent to the owners.
The responsible party should be fined $ 500.00 that should be given to the party filing the claim.
The city should give the defendants 15 Days do get permits and to rectify the correctioms. If they comply within the time period then the law suit becomes valid.
A lot of old business owners are not aware of the ADA compliance are are being victimized and forced to settle. Once they settle they may still not be in compliance and ignore the corrections. I have seen this happen.
The building depts. need to get involved
and in doing so the city can also generate additional income and stop unethical scams.

NO..NO NO..What should happens is 1st there should be a warning sent to the business owner that his business is out of compliance,,,2nd the business owner should be given 30 days to comply..also the person filing the claim have to prove they were ever in the business and was inconvenienced or harmed in some way..THAT WOULD STOP THE LAWSUIT THAT HAS NO PROOF OF HARM
Hi, I am coming from the court right now. This is the third times this lawyer with different handicapped which the one today was very well groomed and chic with his the most recent IPHONE came. Each time the lawyer got money for different excuse. This time was mirror. The guy in the wheelchair couldn’t comb his hair. We ended up to pay $8000.00. You heard it right. Moris Mehraban didn’t accept even payment and wanted to go to trial which if we went the minimum of ADA violence is $4000.00 and $18000.00 for lawyer fee. Our lawyer said if it goes to trial the judge won’t say anything and you have to pay. The problems are judges. They are so weak and so careless that it doesn’t matter what you have to go through to get this money. Judiciary system in USA is a total joke. This money should go towards tax payer not illegal immigrants. I pray that Donald Trump become the next president to take of all these mess in this country.
your suggestion sounds practical, ethical, and reasonable.
the small business owners works very hard to contribute to the society, most of them work 7 days a week.
they shouldn’t be abused by scammers.
Terrific article, unfortunately it resembles the litigious workers comp system that exists in California. Has anyone ever been convicted (or even accused) of filing a fraudulent claim, even though it’s a “crime” on the books? What about post employment injuries, this is absolutely one of the biggest scams in our Golden State. Wish someone from Cal Watchdog would uncover the abuse that is so prevalent, even with the recent “reform” These tactics by trial attorneys leave small business owners with some of the highest workers compensation premiums in the nation. Workers Comp FRAUD is now an epidemic, just watch daytime Telemundo for a few minutes and see who is advertising.

If you and the Bush administration didn’t want the ADA to result in litigation to ensure compliance, why didn’t the act include federal enforcement provisions? I’m also curious as to why the ADA included Private Attorney General provisions for enforcement it that was the case.
I know, you wanted it both ways: A civil rights act with no federal enforcement teeth and no private civil enforcement teeth either, right? That way you could claim to be helping the disabled but know all the time that there would be few consequences for ignoring the law.
If business owners want to avoid a lawsuit over ADA compliance, all they have to do is make sure their business adheres to the ADA legal requirements. It’s really very simple.
As to the Small Business Owner above, California Workers Compensation is rife with abuse, but many of the most egregious criminal acts are by small business owners who misidentify their employees to obtain a lower rate. It’s very common for someone who employs roofers or carpenters to buy WC insurance and claim that percentage of their workforce is a secretary or some clerk with a far lower coverage rate.
MORSE MEHRBAN AND JULIE MEHRBAN husband and wife created a law office of MORSE AND JULIE MEHRBAN to file thousands and thousands of ADA lawsuits and collect hundreds of thousands of dollars. Check it out yourself by public info check.
There is another player in this game Raymond G Gallister and client Chris Lnager.
now they are sueing each business. i dont know what is going on with our justice system. That is so sad.
we own a restaurant and we just got sued by the above mentioned people. and now we dont know what to do even SB1186 is no help.
if we want to go thru lawyers now defendent lawyer charging 5 to 7000$ plus plaintiff attorney charges so total you will end up paying more then 12000$.
i dont know what kind of law is this killing small businesses. If any body can help us.
Chris Langer has hooked up with attny Mark Potter and is suing me too…I have a small discount market. I have reported it to the Santa Ana police as a scam –hope they investigate and can do something…I am heading to the newpapers next.
I, to have received a lawsuit from Chris Langer and Mark Potter. I own a small business in Long Beach. Will explain more in detail if you’re interested in sharing yours as well. Thank you! [email protected]
I lease to a small Mexican Market at 1019 w. Carson St., Torrance, CA. Who is your attorney? I would like to contact him. I just got sued in USDC and tenant is a co defendant. thanks. robert gordon
we need to stand together against this type of thing i have notified my political party that due to this extortion i will no longer be making political contributions & there is 14,000. other businesses that i will encourage not to contribute until they actually do something we need a form letter & everyone send it
We need to let the Governor know that crooked Attorneys are extorting the small business, these shake down lawyers should be penalized . Attorneys should first give notice to business , if no correction done in a month then shake down should start,
Chris Langer is also trying to sue us along with many others in Los Angeles now(march2018). What happened after u reported this case? Any suggestions?
Gov. Brown ( if he really wants to help the employment and small business ) should pass Legislation AB 54.where the ADA should first notify the Business and give notice to the business. if the business dose not comply ,only then they can file the law suit , this will show the business knowingly did not comply.
please call Gov. J. Brown and your state representative to take action
Abby
Businesses a long University Ave and El Cajon Blvd just got sued by Chris Langer and his lawyer, Mark Potter. They are filing civil action lawsuits against small business owners all over San Diego. If you own a business in the Hill Crest or East San Diego be on guard because they are there now. We must contact our senator, governor and city mayor to change the laws. What they are doing is a SCAM!

Hi Mitch,
I fall under the same boat as everyone else. I’ve hired an attorney to settle this matter, but this is such a scam. Please keep me updated with the lawsuit, I’d definitely like to take part of this. Isn’t there anyway we can take this to the California State Bar association? There are over 500 cases going on at this moment where Chris Langer and his attorney Mark Potter are suing small business owner all over the state. If he’s really disabled how in the world is he getting around so quickly? Is he really visiting all the business that are being sued? Does Chris Langer even exist?
Anyhow, hope that helps. Please keep me posted.
I just got one in El Cajon, Ca. Two connecting small businesses I own. One of them , a tiny little vacant and under renovation last couple months .
I had such a horrible problem last couple months with homeless camping out and partying with garbage and destruction everywhere!! I had been bleaching and pressure washing the building and lot so much that the parking lines became faint and before I could finish the renovation and get new lines marked by a company— Chris Langer jumped on it! Ironic since I just finished the bathroom to ADA compliant to the finest detail.
google the king of ada scammers Pinnock, who fled the the phillipines with his millions he scammed from small businesses.
I just got my 5th one in 2 years and Im fighting them! Its costing me a lot of money but Im gonna bust this group of extortionist on my dime and since Ive been challenging them they are back pedaling! Im gonna sue all of them….I currently have 3 pending now….its all the lawyers that are referred in this article plus a couple others and they all work together!
Oh and sorry but the Jerry Brown idea of bringing us the SB1186 is BS!!It allows the business owner 60 days to fix the problem? Well here is my problem with that, I own 2 bars that are located in very old buildings and in order for me to renovate my bathrooms is going to cost me in excess of $30k PER BUSINESS and I don’t even own the building. How am I going to do these renovations when these extortionist keep suing me and taking my money??? grrrrr Its exasperating!!
Ro, we got sued 2x. I know what they are looking for & we have a lawyer in the family.
here is what will happen if you do what they expect:
you will go to a lawyer ( or you may have gotten a letter from some law firm about the same time you were served offering to represent you)
you hire a lawyer ( usually $2000+ retainer fee)
they sympathize with you about how wrong the situation is, contact the ada lawyer, tell you even thought its totally wrong, the law is so poorly written you don’t have a chance,
if you take it to court ( they will tell you) you will loose thousands in legal fees and have to pay anyway.
they convince you to settle for a lesser sum.
you pay, and hope you are done with it.
what really happens.
the lawyers all know each other, work you for all they can ( both sides)
all they really do is type up some papers * usually substuting the names and info in a pre-done format.
and the scam goes on.
if you choose to represent your self, chances the ada lawyer will try and weasle a few bux out of you not to take it that far.
Subject: ADA CASES GOLDMINE FOR PARASITE LAWYERS
http://www.adaabuse.com/pages/1/index.htm
This is about law firms going after small businesses under the “guise” of enforcing the ada act ( americans with disabilities act)
I think, just by looking at the sheer volume of cases they are doing it for profit ( at appx $8000 settlements per case times over 2000 cases) it is big money.
What I am focusing on here is just in the San diego area, nation wide it is enormus.
The lawer Pinnock had hundreds of cases on the books in federal court.
one of his “clients” Mr. Gash has many also ( all using Pinnocks firm) below is just a few, I have found hundereds by cross referencing them on the federal court acces site.
I found most settle out of court for about $8000, the ones that go to court ( at the request of the persons being suied) seem to be setteled in favor of the small businesses, or thrown out of court by the judge, never going before a jury as requested )
my advice ( request) it spread the word on this, make them ( and all the other lawyers that are doing this for profit) take every case to court.
also, complain to your local congress persons, the media, ect.
I have heard ( as we all have) of this going on, but until I actually looked at the federal court site and saw the volume of cases it did not have much meaning.
I HAVE SEVERAL MORE EXAMPLES AVALABLE ON REQUEST:
also, looking at the complaints being filed, it appears to be generated by a word processing programme, and the lawfirms just insert the names of the persons and businesses.
below are: CASES BY PINNOCK
there are hundreds more listed on the Federal court web site found by corss referencing some of their clients

we were sued the 2nd time while while the business was under construction to correct the ADA by the certified ADA specialist. We intend to go forward to trial. Any advice?
Yes!! Ive had 5 in past 2 years and all my money I put aside to become ada compliant has gone to my atty fees etc…I paid off the first 2 but after that I said im fighting this to prove that they ARE extortionists!!! I will be on the front cover of the Daily Breeze newspaper this coming Monday elling my story and then I am being flown as a guest to the state capitol in Sacramento on Wednesday to tell my story to the California legislatures to try and get these laws amended and expose them….
Nichole
check here http://dockets.justia.com/search?cases=mostrecent to see if ( most likely) the lawyer or supposed ada person is doing it repeatedly just for the money
bring that info to the court ( and the news media if you like) to expose the scam
I own two bars in Torrance and have had 5 of these drive by plantiffs just sue me the 5th time in the past 2 years…I will be in the front of the Daily Breeze newspaper on this coming Monday sharing my story and have been invited to go to the capitol in Sacramento the following Wed to speak in front of the California legislature to try and get these laws amended….keep fingers crossed and know Im doing this for not only my businesses but also for all of you other business owners who have been violated….
I went to Sac yesterday, spoke with several lawmakers. Spoke with Bigelow regarding his proposed AB1885. It’s a step toward alleviating the abuses and I came away with the feeling that he genuinely empathized with our plight. Personally I feel he’s pissing into the wind. I don’t think he will get anywhere with it on his own. Relative to the number of victimized indivuals and businesses by these predatory lawyers there was but a handful of us speaking out to these lawmakers. These guys are aware of the abuse, they are afraid of being demonized as “Anti handicappers”. This holds true for the judges handing down their rulings. They hide behind the laws on the books. The book says your grab bar should be 18″ Mr business man, it was found to be 17 & 7/8″–“Ruling for the plaintiff!”
If all those out there that piss and moan about these abuses just do that nothing is going to change. It takes numbers to make these lawmakers to get out of their comfort zone and make some real changes. Being victimized is something one wants to put behind them, I know, but your story needs to be heard and to these lawmakers You paid the extortion and now you just want to get back to your business. Please do not sit back and think you’ve paid your “Protection fee”, you are still at risk as so many of us are.
We beat the first round of An ADA lawsuit in federal court, it’s in Apellate on appeal and we expect to beat that. The attorney contacted her buddy Ballister and had him file on us, we will beat him as well. All this is at great expense. It would have been easier and less costly to pay them off but I’ll be damned if I will let some rapist screw my business!
I implore each of you who have been violated to descend on the Capitol when Bigelows law comes to vote! We can only prevail in strength of numbers!
I can’t believed that the Govt. let them get away with it, where is justicssssss ?????
If minority students receive more than their proportionate share of detention, the liberals go crazy, no matter if the punishment is justified or not.
Why hasn’t someone organized some of the many minorities who have been victimized by these suits, and file a class action discrimination suit or at least a claim with the Dept of Justice?
Doues handicaped trump minority abuse?
Does anyone know a good Attorney or legal Service that can help fight these frivolous lawsuits? I think a class action lawsuit is in order, anybody want to unite on this? Not sure how to go about it, but if there is a good Attorney out there that wants to get one started, I am sure there will be a lot of good business owners willing to help the fight!
Andrea I have the same concerns. You must be in Hayward too.
In Fresno Layne Hayden is one of the shysters. He’s trying to hit my business right now. He has another lawyer, David Mugridge, as the “victim”. They’ve pulled a number of these scams. This is gross. There was some attention in the broadcast TV and radio news but reporters were too chicken to state names.
THE PLAINTIFF AND THE ATTORNEY CAN MAKE ANY CLAIM.
IN OUR CASE THEY SAID THE VISITED OUR PROPERTY TWICE IN NOVEMBER 2015 AND THERE WAS NO HANDICAP PARKING AVAILABLE. I HAVE PHOTOS OF THEM INSTALLING THE SPACES WITH THE DATE OF 7/1815..
WHEN THIS IS POINTED OUT THEY SAY TOO BAD YOU HAVE TO PAY AN ATTORNEY TO ARGUE THIS AND THAT THE COURT WILL ALLOW THE PLAINTIFF TO CORRECT THE DATE. A 3 MONTH ERROR????? IS THERE ANY ONE
WHO CAN HELP.. HANDICAPPED PERSONS CAN BE
SCAMMERS TOO….
I have been hit for the second time by Chris Langer and his band of merry men. This time it is for a parking lot behind my small commercial building. I previously paid for a comprehensive CASp inspection and report stating that since there is no rear access to this building and since the building width is property line to property line it is not feasible or possible to provide a compliant parking stall and therefore signs should be installed stating that this small lot is not for public use. We installed the appropriate signage. I was sued anyway!! I have spent close to 17K that I dont have for legal council and court filings etc. Since I wouldn’t settle out of court the plaintiff has filed frivolous motions in my opinion all to keep running up my cost. A few days ago after once again making it clear I would not pay one red cent of extortion money, they suddenly have agreed to drop the case. This has been ongoing for almost 10 months and is extremely draining for a 74 year old guy still working a 60 hour work week in order to make ends meet. There is something wrong in this world when someone can sue you for not being able to park in an area clearly marked ‘Tenant Parking Only’. Why would anyone in their right mind (able bodied or wheel chair bound) want to park in a fenced lot behind a building when there is ample street parking as well as parking on each side by way of bank owned parking lots?? My dilemma…I am paying my attorney 17K because of Chris Langer. There is no modification I can do to make this parking lot compliant nor is there anything I should have done in the past. I want some of my money back! My attorney states it would be very unlikely we would be able to obtain a court order having Chris Langer repay any of my legal cost. I have just Google’d Chris Langer ADA Lawsuits and ‘Oh My Gosh’ is there a lot of bedtime reading available. I was delighted to see that the owner of a small hotel in Palm Springs had gone to the media and her story was on a Los Angeles news show (Go Girl)! I am contemplating contacting a local San Diego TV Station as this stuff has got to stop!!! It’s killing us honest hard working folks who do want to do the right thing in spite of Chris Langer and all his type.
