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 actually taken a case to jury trial.
I am attorney Eric Steven. I have legal savvy and extensive experience in housing discrimination cases. For almost 20 years, I have dedicated my career to protecting landlords in Spokane and the surrounding area. I can provide you with the aggressive, effective defense you deserve.

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.
I will aggressively 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.
