Working to Prevent and End Housing Discrimination

Hardiman Law PLLC is a Virginia-based civil rights law firm led by attorney Helen Hardiman. With deep experience in fair housing enforcement, government service, and community-based advocacy, the firm is committed to helping individuals and families secure and maintain their housing rights. Helen handles matters involving housing discrimination, disability accessibility, retaliation, and related civil rights violations.  

 

Housing discrimination can be both overt and covert, and unfortunately, it is still prevalent in Virginia.  Despite enactment of the federal Fair Housing Act almost 60 years ago, housing providers still deny and limit housing opportunities based on race, color, religion, national origin, sex, family status, disability, elderliness, military status, sexual orientation, gender identity, and source of funds.  

 

At Hardiman Law, we are committed to eradicating housing discrimination, both through vigorous enforcement of state and federal fair housing protections as well as the provision of capable counsel on preventative measures for housing providers who are committed to full compliance with the letter and spirit of fair housing laws.

"Men often hate each other because they fear each other.       They fear each other because they don't know each other.   They don't know each other because they can not communicate. They can not communicate because they are separated."

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
