Stop Accessibility Lawsuits Before They Start

Plaintiff lawyers are systematically targeting NYC restaurant websites for ADA violations. Most restaurants either ignore this until it’s too late, or they install a cheap accessibility widget that actually makes them a bigger target. I fix the real problem at the code level—no widgets, no shortcuts.

Here’s Why This Matters Right Now

Website accessibility is no longer something restaurants can afford to ignore. The DOJ has made clear that the ADA applies to the goods and services businesses offer online, including restaurants. Here’s the problem: lawyers know those accessibility widgets don’t fix the real code-level issues. They’re basically a neon sign that says “sue me.”

I’ve helped NYC restaurants respond to threatening letters by fixing accessibility issues the right way—at the code level. For $3,000 (or $300/month), I’ll personally audit and remediate your website in 1–2 weeks. You’ll work directly with me—no faceless agency, no shortcuts, just professional accessibility work that makes your website easier to use and reduces your risk.
