Irony: Jason Singleton office in Eureka out of ADA compliance?

Is Jason Singleton's local Eureka Street office on Sixth & L Streets, both the building and parking are out of compliance with the ADA Act?









Has Jason Singelton moved from Humboldt and does he have a new shill? I have an unconfirmed tip, he may have moved to Redding.

A federal court records search shows that Singleton has filed 259 federal lawsuits relating to ADA violations since 2005, with 23 cases filed in 2013.
Many of these lawsuits have been directed at Humboldt County businesses, including Village Pantry, the Minor Theatre Corp., Cher-Ae Heights Casino, Cafe Waterfront, Barnes Arcata Family Drug, McKinleyville's Central Station bar, Six Rivers Brewery and Arctic Circle.


MARSHALL LOSKOT, Plaintiff
Hollynn D'Lil is a paraplegic who requires the use of a wheelchair for mobility.   On December 13, 2001, D'Lil traveled from her home in Sacramento to Santa Barbara, California in order to conduct a property inspection for attorney Jason Singleton.
1. Early that day, she called the Best Western Encina to reserve a wheelchair accessible room for the night.   She was informed that the hotel had an available room that lacked a roll-in shower, but was fully accessible in all other respects.   She reserved the room. - See more at: http://caselaw.findlaw.com/us-9th-circuit/1396056.html#sthash.yawpvC3h.dpuf
And Singleton also uses Jerry Doran as another Plaintiff shill
First of three parts
Jerry Doran was more than 500 miles from his Tehama County home when he stopped at a Del Taco in Mission Viejo for some enchiladas -- or so he said. Doran, 52 and a paraplegic since a 1985 auto accident, said he encountered numerous problems at the restaurant: a wheelchair ramp that was too steep, a toilet that was too low, hand dryers that were too high. So, on Jan. 15, 2004, Doran did what he had done at least 223 times in California courts, suing the restaurant for violating the Americans With Disabilities Act.
When the restaurant company refused to settle, Doran's story literally became a federal case. How could he order enchiladas when the restaurant doesn't serve them, the defense wanted to know. Why did he complain about a hand dryer that doesn't exist? Did Jerry Doran even go to Del Taco that day?
The case, which Doran lost last summer, highlights one of the most emotional and contentious legal battles in California today: enforcement of the Americans With Disabilities Act.
Across the nation, the federal law has been hailed by many as a civil rights triumph since its passage 16 years ago. But California laws allowing the nation's most generous payouts to disabled people who sue businesses have made this state a magnet for lawyers and plaintiffs and for aggressive, sometimes questionable practices.

  1. Zamora's New and Used Furniture in Arcata is owned by Jason Simgleton. It also is out of compliance with ADA.

  2. So perfect! He has caused so much damage to so many businesses, in such a grotesquely unfair way. It's a bad law and he's a bad guy.
