Compensation from ADA Non-Compliant Cases?

I want to make it crystal clear that the ACCESS "Watchdogs in Wheelchairs" program only works when the free Federal Court is the vehicle.  That means that the Federal Judge is in complete control.  The ACCESS program is designed to provide the judge with all the technical professional accessibility architectural information for the judge to make his decision. 

I have been asked the question by our "Watchdogs in Wheelchairs" if they can be paid?  Our in-house General Counsel has advised me that compensation to the "Watchdogs in Wheelchairs" is a possibility, depending on the Federal Judge.  The position of ACCESS that we will work with the "Watchdogs in Wheelchairs" on an invoice to be present4ed tot he Federal Judge for payment.  That invoice is submitted to ACCESS at the same time the "Watchdogs in Wheelchairs" signs the complaint for the building not being ADA compliant.  That invoice will be part of the first ACCESS invoice to the Federal Judge, usually right after the ACCESS completion of the detailed ADA building audit.

For additional information contact me at hfastad@accessts.net or call me at (702) 649-7575.  Teaming together to make buildings ADA compliant!
