Rivercrest LawPractice Area
Civil Rights Attorney in Washington State
The Washington Law Against Discrimination protects people in their housing, in the marketplace, and in places of public accommodation. Rivercrest Law brings civil rights claims when those protections are violated: discrimination based on disability or other protected status, retaliation against people who assert their rights, and fair housing violations.
Discrimination and Retaliation Claims
Discrimination claims arise when a landlord, business, or service provider treats someone worse because of who they are. Retaliation claims arise when they punish someone for asserting their rights. Washington law prohibits both and provides real remedies.
Fair Housing Violations
Fair housing claims under state and federal law protect tenants and homebuyers from discrimination in renting, buying, and eviction. Housing is where civil rights violations do the most damage, and it is where the firm's tenant rights practice gives it the deepest experience.
Civil Rights Claims Add Leverage
These claims rarely arrive alone. In the firm's recent $725,000 wrongful eviction resolution, civil rights claims under state and federal law ran alongside landlord-tenant and consumer protection claims, each one adding leverage, and together telling the full story of what KOIN 6 called "a major injustice."
Civil rights litigation is how private attorneys extend the reach of public enforcement. Rivercrest Law takes that role seriously.
