Asian-owned businesses feel targeted by Portland lawyers who filed dozens of ADA lawsuits
Of the 47 ADA lawsuits filed by attorneys Jessica Molligan and David Foster, almost half involved Asian-owned businesses, according to public records and interviews.

PORTLAND, Ore. — Several Asian-owned businesses feel they were targeted by a pair of Portland lawyers who have filed dozens of Americans with Disabilities Act or ADA lawsuits over the past nine months.

"We're easy targets," said Sara Tran. One of the lawyers sued her mother, Hanh Tran, over alleged ADA compliance issues.


"We don’t know the law," said Hanh. "We don't speak well; the language and we don’t know how to get help."
