The complaint alleges that after filing these fraudulent suits in federal court, Potter Handy pressures its targets to pay it settlements of upwards of $10,000 each—often from small businesses who cannot afford to hire attorneys to litigate in federal court.

corrupt police acting like it hard to clean up this drug system in San Francisco, the drugs are clean up where they live, 1. jobs, which these corrupt police are interfering in, mainly with black American men, they are trying to scare me on drugs right now {2.real rehabilitation}
Since when has chesaboudin cared about the victims of anything? Potter Handy could be guilty of allegations but Boudin’s conscience being bothered by their practices seems insincere, given his past history. Not buying it! Besides, that recall date is getting closer!
LADAOffice ... hoping they take notice in texas
Finally!!!!
Let's not go after criminals, it's small business is the problem. This is why GavinNewsom and these DA's need to go they hate the middle class
These frivolous ADA law suits drive me nuts. I know a few things about compliance with ADA since my husband has severe mobility issues. This law firm goes beyond the pale with these shake downs of small businesses. They are part of the problem not the solution.
