Your Trusted Guide and Protector

Glendale disabilities discrimination lawyer Sarkis Jacob Babachanian — Sark — protects people from suffering discrimination based on disabilities by working to assert their rights under the federal Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and California’s Unruh CIvil Rights Act.

If you or a loved one have a disability and have encountered an “architectural barrier” such as no wheelchair ramp, no fully accessible restroom or no accessible parking, you may be entitled to $4,000 in damages plus attorney fees for each eligible accessibility problem you encounter. It is no excuse that a business owner or landlord are ignorant of the law.

Sark realizes that persons with disabilities struggle daily fighting for their civil rights and believes in helping the disabilities community vindicate those rights with the goal of achieving just compensation while affecting positive social change.

Under the ADA and California law, persons with disabilities must have access to all features of a facility open to the public. Examples of what a business owner and landlord need to do include:

  • Providing wheelchair accessible restrooms if restrooms are otherwise offered to the public;
  • Providing wheelchair accessible parking spaces with access aisles;
  • Offering service counters sufficiently low for access by people confined to wheelchairs;
  • Providing mirrors, coat hooks, towel dispensers, etc., accessible to persons in wheelchairs;
  • Providing captioning for people with hearing impairments; and
  • Permitting use of service animals.

Compliance manuals and additional information about the ADA is available here and here.
