​AG Mayes announced that her office has successfully resolved a disability discrimination lawsuit against Smith’s Food and Drug Centers dba Fry’s Food Stores ("Fry’s") — securing $120,000 for a deaf employee who was denied basic communication support and ultimately fired.

"Civil rights protections are at increasing risk in our country and our state, but my office is committed to protecting all Arizonans from unlawful discrimination. When employers deny effective communication to employees with disabilities, qualified individuals are prevented from meaningful participation in the workforce." – AG Mayes
