A federal lawsuit claims that a local restaurant is not accessible to people with disabilities, citing specific barriers that allegedly prevent equal access for mobility-impaired patrons. The complaint was filed by Solomon Stanley in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia on March 23, 2026, naming Seung Kum Lee, LLC as the defendant.
According to court documents, Stanley alleges that while visiting Cafe Hot Wings at 1951 Veterans Highway in Austell, Georgia, he encountered several architectural features that made it difficult or impossible for him to access goods and services offered to the public. The lawsuit states that Stanley is a resident of Powder Springs who suffers from mobility issues requiring knee braces and a cane. He describes himself as an individual with a disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
The complaint outlines numerous obstacles at Cafe Hot Wings which Stanley claims violate Title III of the ADA. These include lack of signage indicating accessible parking or entrances, an access ramp extending into the access aisle and being excessively steep without edge protection, absence of accessible tables, and various restroom deficiencies such as round door handles, insufficient maneuvering space, no underside clearance at sinks, missing grab bars at toilets, mirrors placed too high, and paper towel dispensers out of reach for disabled individuals.
Stanley reports that he personally experienced discrimination during his visit on November 12, 2025. He also states he intends to return in April 2026 but is deterred by these ongoing barriers. The filing asserts: “Plaintiff has been denied access to, and has been denied the benefits of services…and has otherwise been discriminated against and damaged by the Defendant because of the Defendant’s ADA violations.” It further alleges that these are not exclusive examples but part of a broader pattern or practice of discrimination.
The legal argument centers on whether it would be “readily achievable” for Seung Kum Lee, LLC to remove these barriers as required by law. The plaintiff cites federal regulations mandating removal of architectural obstacles in places built before January 26, 1992; alterations after this date must also meet accessibility standards. If constructed after January 26, 1993, full compliance is required from first occupancy.
Stanley requests several forms of relief from the court: a declaration that defendant violated Title III of the ADA; an order requiring all readily achievable alterations so that facilities are accessible; reasonable modifications in policies or procedures; attorney’s fees; costs; litigation expenses; and any other appropriate relief deemed just by the court. He argues he will continue to suffer irreparable harm without immediate action.
The complaint was prepared and submitted by attorney Pete M. Monismith (Georgia Bar 941228), whose office is located at 1000 Main Street, Suite 2016 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The case is identified as Case No. 1:26-cv-01548-TWT.
