Ministry of Criminal Justice Supportive Housing Services, LLC, et al., complex multi-party litigation in which plaintiffs brought claims for financial exploitation of vulnerable adults, violations of landlord-tenant law, and a novel Fair Housing Act “reverse redlining” cause of action against eleven defendant-landlords. Following substantial discovery on plaintiffs claims and the cross-claims and counterclaims of defendants, plaintiffs obtained partial summary judgment and settled their claims against the remaining defendants securing a stipulated judgment, nearly six times their actual monetary losses, costs and attorneys’ fees, and ongoing training and monitoring requirements to ensure defendants’ compliance with landlord-tenant law and the Fair Housing Act.

Represented Plaintiff in Carroll v.
