    There was a guy going around my area and suing small business left and right. He was not from the area and traveled around specifically targeting small businesses that couldn’t afford lawyers. A small Chinese restaurant near me had to close and numerous others had horror stories of dealing with this man. Eventually the guy got arrested for something. Maybe extortion? I’ll see if I can find the article.

      That’d be a good article to see.

      I’m not opposed to legit complaints. I don’t like the people just trying to profit off of it.

    Yeah not a fan of targeted attacks. I do thank the ada for making accommodations for millions of people but targeted attacks just seem sleazy.
