Meet Steven Law Office
Experience
For over 33 years, Steven Law Office has been committed to delivering exceptional legal services and support to landlords across all counties east of the Cascades in Washington and Northern Idaho. We specialize in representing subsidized housing providers, large multi-family property landlords, and manufactured housing communities in enforcing tenant duties and ensuring fair housing practices. Our continuity of service extends to owners with properties in multiple counties.
Our attorneys lead in housing litigation and are actively involved in legislative reform. Mr. Steven is a frequent speaker for local and State Bar Associations. Our lawyers collaborate with and train through associations such as the Washington Landlord Association (WLA), Retail Housing Association of Washington (RHA), Washington Business Properties Association (WBPA), Manufactured Housing Communities of Washington (MHCW), Idaho Housing and Finance Association (IHFC), and Intermountain Fair Housing Council (IFHC).
In the last three years, Washington has enacted increasingly progressive legislation, granting tenants additional rights and introducing complexities
to Landlord-Tenant laws. These new laws include restrictions on landlords’ abilities to collect from tenants and impose “cause” requirements to remove even the most dangerous tenants. Steven Law Office provides training, counsel, and litigation support to landlords needing rule enforcement, tenant removal, or responses to housing discrimination allegations. Our highly trained team is dedicated to achieving results for our clients.

Defense Against Housing Discrimination Claims

We handled cases against the U.S. Department of Justice, HUD, WSHRC, NWFHA, IHRC, Washington Attorney Generals Office and various advocacy groups.
Our practice emphasis has enabled us to generate a large resource library which enables our staff to properly answer your questions and efficiently service your needs.
