In light of the influx of both Americans with Disabilities Act and Fair Labor Standards Act lawsuits, Trembly Law Firm (TLF) is now offering limited flat fee retainer packages for a limited time to help ease the costs and stresses associated with these suits. These packages will be available through the end of December 2022.
Since the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was first enacted in 1990, several modifications have been made to this important piece of legislation. Private entities open to the public and employers continually face challenges with ADA compliance. It is important to know that costs of non-compliance can prove costly to a company’s success and bottom line. TLF has defended hundreds of clients in their ADA Title III lawsuits, almost always reaching a settlement. To avoid future claims, TLF also highlights the steps that should be taken to ensure ongoing compliance with ADA laws.
Along with the increase of ADA Title III lawsuits we are seeing, there has also been a notable increase in Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) lawsuits, which targets businesses with any number of employees.
The FLSA is a federal law which governs employer / employee relationships within the workplace. The FLSA is enforced by the Department of Labor (DOL) meaning that violations of the FLSA are taken very seriously and strict compliance with the FLSA is imperative. As a federal law, the FLSA applies to all businesses in Florida.
If you are a business owner with any workers helping you in any capacity, and you receive an ADA or FLSA claim or lawsuit, you need to consult with an attorney as soon as possible. WAITING WILL COST YOU MONEY! TLF’s team of litigation attorneys have helped many clients successfully deal with these suits, and they can do the same for you.
Here is a breakdown of the flat-fee retainer packages that TLF offers. Please note that TLF cannot offer any of these packages if a response is due in fewer than 3 business days, however the firm can still assist those defendants on an hourly basis:
Americans with Disabilities Act Claim Defense Pre-Response Flat Fee Retainer Packages:
- Flat fees include the pre-response negotiation of a settlement and agreement to avoid the necessity of filing a formal response and engaging in the litigation, but do not include court appearances or filing of documents (which would require an hourly litigation retainer agreement):
- If Client retains TLF at least 7 business days before the response deadline in court, TLF’s flat fee for its professional services will be $3,750.00
- If Client retains TLF at least 5 business days before the response deadline in court, TLF’s flat fee for its professional services will be $4,750.00.
- Costs (such as expert fees, mailing costs, and others) are not included in these flat fees, and the Firm will not front any costs. The Firm will require a cost deposit of $250.00 – any amount unused at the end of representation will be returned.
