I'm defending my dad's small business and need help.
These cases are very difficult to defend. I would try to settle.
Although you don't indicate the alleged violations, I suspect they have to do with lack of van accessible parking and/or accessible restrooms. As such, you will probably have to try to settle it soon, rather than defend the lawsuit.
