Questions owners ask

Who these firms are, where the counts come from, and what to do if one writes to you.
Who files website lawsuits?
A small group of plaintiff-side law firms working with repeat plaintiffs. Accessibility firms concentrate in New York, Illinois and Florida federal courts; tracking firms file mostly in California. They find sites with automated tools and file in batches, which is why the same firm names recur month after month.
Where do these firm counts come from?
From federal docket records in CourtListener, the Free Law Project's public archive, where each firm is listed for the plaintiff. Spelling variants are merged and known defense firms are excluded. Counts are recomputed from verified filings every day, and state-court cases without a public source are not included.
What should I do if one of these firms contacts me?
Talk to a lawyer before you reply. Keep the letter, take dated screenshots of your site as it is, and run a scan so you have a record of what the letter would cite. The guides on this site explain what CIPA and ADA website letters usually contain and the first steps owners take.
Does Suitcast work with or against these firms?
Neither. Suitcast publishes counts from public court records so business owners can see who is active, and it never contacts the businesses named as defendants or sells their names. It is not a law firm and does not give legal advice.
