Legal services websites are places of public accommodation under ADA Title III. A law firm facing its own ADA demand letter is a scenario plaintiffs' attorneys actively seek out. Contact forms, attorney profiles, and online intake processes all create accessibility exposure if they don't meet WCAG 2.2 AA standards.
Client intake forms with placeholder-only labels, missing field associations, and inaccessible CAPTCHA prevent screen reader users from requesting legal help.
Headshots and staff photos on bio pages that lack descriptive alt text leave blind users without context about who they are considering hiring.
Mega menus and dropdown navigation for practice areas that require hover interaction and lack keyboard support block motor-impaired users.
Legal websites frequently use deep navy or charcoal color schemes with text that falls below the WCAG 4.5:1 minimum contrast ratio.
Legal guides, retainer agreements, and FAQ documents published as untagged PDFs are completely inaccessible to screen reader users.
Attorney photos, award badges, and office images all require descriptive alternative text.
Every intake form field needs a visible label programmatically associated with its input.
Navigation menus, contact forms, and all interactive elements must be fully operable by keyboard alone.
Body text, navigation links, and form labels must meet the 4.5:1 contrast ratio required by WCAG.
