ADA lawsuit for website

Asked on Oct 18th, 2022 on Discrimination - New York
More details to this question:
A client of mine, small business, restaurant, is being sued by a legally blind person as he claims the website was not ADA accessible. This person has filed 10+ lawsuits against other restaurants and obviously has an attorney who is supporting him in this journey. We believe our website is ADA compliant, and would like to know how can we handle this situation quickly and without spending money.

You cannot handle this without spending money. You need a lawyer. If your website is ADA compliant and you refuse to settle out of principle, you must pay to defend yourself. If you'd rather make a cost-benefit decision to pay the nuisance plaintiff to go away an amount less than it will take to defend yourself, it'll be quick but there will still be money involved. Your representatives wrote these laws and they can fix them. Until they do, this a cost of doing business.
