After a lawsuit from a San Francisco District Attorney claiming to protect small business owners was dismissed, the new DA is bringing it back saying legal action is necessary to protect small business owners from what they call a “predatory attorney.”

In fact, she said so many lawsuits were filed, companies there nearly went out of business trying to settle.

"The average is about $10,000 to $30,000 thousand, so it's very sad, and hopefully we can do something, otherwise, it's hard to do business,” said Lily Low, nonprofit owner."Most of the businesses that were targeted were small mom and pop operations that could not afford legal representation, or to spend time fighting back against these fraudulent lawsuits," said Jenkins.

Handy said the lawsuits are anything but fraudulent and called Jenkin’s move a publicity stunt. He insists his firm is helping clients get safely into and out of stores, and will continue to fight for them.
