Legal Alert: Multiple ADA Lawsuits Target Central Coast Businesses

By Carmel & Naccasha15 September, 2015Commercial/Business Litigation, Insurance Coverage & Defense Litigation

A recent string of lawsuits have many local businesses again paying close attention to their own compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”). One individual, along with the same attorney in each case, appears to be targeting restaurants and retail businesses across the Central Coast. The two individuals have filed a number of lawsuits alleging violations of the Act in SLO County and down south as far as Ventura. As you may know, under California law, any violation of the ADA is considered a civil rights violation and subject to a minimum statutory penalty of $4,000, plus attorney’s fees.

By Carmel & Naccasha22 May, 2015Corporate/Transactional/ Contract, Insurance Coverage & Defense Litigation, Local, What's New

Carmel & Naccasha LLP attorneys recently facilitated the integration of a highly regarded employee benefits agency and brokerage on the Central Coast with the strength and resources of a leading global insurance brokerage. Here’s what the owner of the agency had to say once the deal was completed:

“It has been an exciting time at my company with a recent transition and merger. We could not have done it without the expert assistance of Carmel & Naccasha. All of their people, especially Ziyad Naccasha, worked tirelessly to bring our transaction to conclusion in a timely manner. It was not unusual to get an email from them at 10 pm, still working on our behalf. They concluded our transaction in 12 days while normally this type of thing would have taken months. Top-notch service, expert advice, working on our behalf, ethical proceedings, polite and thorough….what more could you want from your professional team?”

-Connie Framberger

San Luis Obispo (October 27, 2014) – Carmel and Naccasha LLP Managing Partner Ziyad Naccasha received the distinction of Who’s Who in Professional Services this week as part of the Pacific Coast Business Times’ annual report.

Also this month, Naccasha was recognized as Heritage Oaks Bank’s selection for the Special Guest distinction at the Spokes Salutes event for being “generous with his time personally and professionally” in his various roles with local nonprofits and other organizations.

By Carmel & Naccasha08 October, 2014Local

Dallas K. Mosier, Associate Attorney at Carmel and Naccasha LLP, is the newest member of the Paso Robles Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors for the 2014-2015 term. Mosier was appointed to the seat after another Board Member stepped down.

“It’s an honor to be joining such a dynamic and engaged group of business leaders in Paso Robles,” said Mosier. “With a new President/CEO in place, new membership campaigns gearing up and economic activity starting to pick up, I can’t think of a more exciting time to be a part of such an important organization.”

New Deposition Time Limits Merely Presumptive

By Carmel & Naccasha21 March, 2014Uncategorized

The recent time limits for deposition of opposing party witnesses had created quite a concern among litigation attorneys – especially defense attorneys – that the new law would unduly hamper what is otherwise pretty broad rights to discovery in lawsuits filed in California. Most concerning were the apparent “set in stone” time limits for depositions in complex cases – situations which would seemingly call for the greatest amount of leeway given the number of parties and issues involved. The Second District Court of Appeals, in its recently issued Certainteed Corporation v. Superior Court (decision filed January 8, 2013) has swiftly responded with an opinion that reads into the law the flexibility that many trial attorneys have been seeking (albeit largely by defense focused counsel).

Proposition 65 Is Coming to Your Town!

By Carmel & Naccasha07 March, 2014Uncategorized

As featured in the SLO County Bar Bulletin:

You’ve likely seen the retail signs and product labels telling you something like this: “WARNING: This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.” Those warnings are the result of efforts by businesses to comply with California’s Proposition 65 – and to avoid expensive enforcement actions. The Proposition requires businesses to provide “clear and reasonable” warnings to individuals prior to exposing them to specified carcinogens and reproductive toxicants. In the 25 years since Proposition 65 was enacted by California voters, those enforcement actions have mostly missed San Luis Obispo County businesses. But it looks like that’s changing, and local businesses should beware: Proposition 65 enforcement is coming to your town.
