Discrimination Defense

Experienced Defense Against Housing Discrimination Charges

Individuals who are denied rental property sometimes claim they are the victims of housing discrimination because of race, gender, national origin or other factors. These charges are taken seriously by governmental bodies. If you are a landlord who has been accused of housing discrimination, you need a skilled lawyer defending you. I have defended well over one hundred discrimination cases. I am one of a few attorneys in the State of Washington who has represented clients against the U.S. Department of Justice and taken a housing discrimination case to jury trial.

Steven Law Office has legal savvy and extensive experience in housing discrimination cases. For almost 30 years, Mr. Steven has dedicated his career to protecting landlords in Eastern Washington. Steven Law Office can provide Landlords with the aggressive, effective defense they deserve. Our associate lawyers are also highly skilled advocates focusing on housing.

Michelle Myers is a Senior Associate Attorney with Steven Law Office. Mrs. Myers has over 13 years in landlord/tenant relations and housing law. Our team brings the support you need when facing serious claims.

How Charges Are Brought

Issues often arise in the context of tenant screening, lease up, accommodation or modification requests. Housing discrimination cases often start when a individual makes a complaint to either a federal, state or local governmental body. Many times tenant advocacy groups like NWFHA and IFHC are involved in the claims process.

Steven Law Office will competently defend you against these charges on your behalf.

Experience Matters

During my career, I have handled over 100 housing discrimination cases and am one of few Washington lawyers who have taken this type of case to a federal jury trial.

Having this extensive experience allows me to provide you with exceptional defense. I am extremely knowledgeable about fair housing matters and understand how to prove discrimination has not occurred.

I have also developed good rapport with advocates from the Northwest Justice Project, Northwest Fair Housing Alliance, the Human Rights Commission, HUD, the Washington State Attorney General’s Office and the U.S. Attorneys Office in Spokane and Washington, D.C. My rapport with advocates and these agencies helps my clients receive favorable results.
