About ADAhelp
Most New Yorkers who experience disability discrimination never act on it. We exist to make acting on it free, fast, and obvious.
Why people pick us
You're never billed. If your case wins, our fee comes out of the recovery; if it doesn't, you owe nothing.
The federal Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA Title III), the New York State Human Rights Law (NYSHRL), and the New York City Human Rights Law (NYCHRL). We use all three together. Most states only have one.
We handle the paperwork, the timelines, the back-and-forth. You tell us what happened and approve what matters. The rest is on us.
If your case recovers nothing, you owe nothing — not us, not the attorney, not even costs. We're only paid out of a win.
FAQ
There's no out-of-pocket cost to you, ever. ADAhelp works on a recovery-based (contingency) fee: both our fee and the attorney's are paid only out of any money your case recovers — never billed to you. If your case recovers nothing, you owe nothing, including costs. We walk you through exactly how the fee works on a free consult call, before anything is signed.
Three minutes to check. Most cases resolve in 60 to 180 days.
You owe nothing — including costs. Our fee and the attorney's are paid only if your case recovers money, straight out of the recovery. No recovery, no fee, nothing out of your pocket.
Disability discrimination at New York businesses, workplaces, government services, housing, and websites or apps.
Often, yes. If a business open to the public in New York denied you access or refused a reasonable accommodation because of a disability, you may have a claim under three overlapping laws: the federal Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA Title III), the New York State Human Rights Law (NYSHRL), and — in New York City — the New York City Human Rights Law (NYCHRL). ADAhelp checks your situation in about three minutes and manages the claim end to end, bringing in independent attorneys for the legal work.
Three: the federal Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the New York State Human Rights Law (NYSHRL), and the New York City Human Rights Law (NYCHRL). New York is unusual in having all three, and the state and city laws are often broader than the ADA alone.
It depends on the type of claim. Public-accommodation (business access) cases typically recover $5,000 to $25,000, often higher in New York City; housing cases $10,000 to $60,000; workplace cases $50,000 to $150,000 or more. Amounts vary case by case.
First confirm you have a viable claim, then pursue it in the right venue — court or an agency such as the New York State Division of Human Rights. ADAhelp organizes the facts, identifies which of the three laws apply, and works with independent attorneys to move it forward. The free three-minute check is the first step.
Most New York disability cases settle without court. If yours becomes the exception, you'll know well before that's a decision.
At some point, yes. That's how the law works. We tell you when and what to expect before any of it.
No. We handle the case management and the support. Legal work is done by separate counsel when it's needed.
The three-minute check tells you. Free. No catch.
