Fix First, Then Fight is a slogan and a philosophy for the defense of ADA and FHA lawsuits. It is also the most practical approach to the defense of such claims. Sooner or later, almost every owner of a commercial or multi-family residential property will receive a demand letter or be served with a lawsuit claiming violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act or Fair Housing Act accessibility standards.
