Lewis v Williamsburg Village Apartments
Lyon Township
Sharon Lewis contacted Cooperating Attorney Michael J. Steinberg after the managers of Williamsburg Village Apartments told Lewis that her African-American boyfriend couldn’t move in because of his race (Lewis is white). Steinberg then referred Lewis to the FHC for an investigation of her claim. Testing supported Lewis’ claim and Steinberg filed a lawsuit on behalf of the couple.
Court: Federal
Settlement: $32,500
