Department of Justice (DOJ)

A federal Title II ADA complaint can be sent to the US Department of Justice (DOJ). A complaint can be filed online or by mail. A complaint has to be filed within 180 days of the incident. It can take up to three months for the DOJ to review your complaint and respond. DOJ will let you know if it will or will not investigate your complaint. DOJ has a mediation program. Mediation is a way to resolve the concerns of your complaint. DOJ can refer your complaint to mediation or you can ask for it. Mediation will not take place unless both parties agree to mediation. For more information about filing a complaint to the DOJ and mediation go to the DOJ website.

You can also explore your legal options, like a lawsuit, with an attorney. 

Federal Court
