FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES IN THE JULIAN MATTERS

     On November 11-12, 2005, Theodore Pinnock went to Julian.  He found the Julian businesses to be inaccessible.  In fact, Pinnock researched each business and wrote each letter himself.  

            Since sending the Notice Letters, Attorneys Pinnock & Wakefield have received numerous responses from Julian business owners.  Attorney Pinnock has corresponded with in writing and has met several times with Julian business owners, Julian community leaders and members of the media to discuss the business owners and property owner’s lack of compliance with federal and state disability laws.  Through these efforts, Attorney Pinnock has primarily dispelled the prevailing and erroneous belief among the Julian business and property owners that the ADA and California disability laws did not apply to the Town of Julian.  Further, Attorney Pinnock continues, despite the anger directed at him and Attorneys Pinnock & Wakefield, to achieve unprecedented compliance with the ADA and California disability laws in Julian.  In short, Attorneys Pinnock & Wakefield are working most diligently to solve the existing architectural barriers that exist in Julian.
