Re: Service animal and restaurant refusals
They can not refuse you service and/or entry. Unless you have omitted some pertinent facts, the Florida and Federal Statutes clearly make their action(s) illegal.
You should schedule a formal consultation with a� lawyer.� A good means of obtaining an attorney referral is by contacting your State's bar association or your local county bar association.��� They probably have a web site and charge a nominal fee for the referral.� Most attorneys either provide a free initial consultation, or charge a nominal fee.
