Civil Rights
We successfully represented a class of hearing impaired individuals in Washington, DC who filed a federal class action lawsuit against two national movie theater chains. A writer for The Harvard Law Review declared our firm’s efforts on behalf of closed-captioned movies as resulting in a “historic settlement.” The Court praised the firm for “conscientiously, diligently and creatively” reaching the settlement. We overcame two contrary federal court decisions and obtained a settlement that provided the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area with more closed captioning movies than any other city in the world.
