Four Oregon businesses that say they were targeted for disability access violations have filed a class-action suit against two Tennessee-based law firms and a Portland lawyer, alleging they engaged in a nationwide “racket” to extort money by filing fake Americans with Disabilities Act complaints.
The suit accuses the Memphis firms — Wampler, Carroll, Wilson & Sanderson and Wade Law — of working with local lawyers in more than 15 states to wrest money out of businesses in the name of disability rights from January 2022 through 2025.
