Henry O. Hilston
Henry joined the firm in 2020. He practices in the Civil Litigation, Business Bankruptcy/Creditor’s Rights and Employment Law practice groups.

In that practice, he advises property management companies on a wide range of issues, including evictions and other landlord-tenant disputes, VAWA, the Fair Housing Act, and compliance issues under federal and state affordable housing programs, such as the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program and HUD and USDA-Rural Development rental subsidy programs. He also assists those clients with the preparation, review, and revision of management documents, including tenant selection plans, management agreements, and leases.
