announced Monday that his office is filing a civil lawsuit against a San Diego-based law firm for allegedly filing thousands of fraudulent disability-access lawsuits against small businesses in California.

The San Francisco District Attorney's Office jointly filed the state lawsuit with the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office. He alleged that attorneys at Potter Handy, some of whom lived in Los Angeles County but filed lawsuits in the Bay Area, claimed in many lawsuits that a lack of access for people with disabilities deterred them from returning to a certain business.

San Francisco Supervisors Aaron Peskin, whose district includes Chinatown, and Connie Chan, who represents Golden Gate Park and the Richmond district, said they have heard "heart-wrenching" and "devastating" stories from business owners about facing allegedly fraudulent lawsuits in addition to the COVID-19 pandemic.
