The firm consists of three attorneys and three support staff members.
Over the past 15 years, Brancart & Brancart has settled over 100 and tried 12 fair housing cases. The firm is currently handling approximately 40 other fair housing cases in the United States District Courts for the Central, Northern and Eastern Districts of California, the District of Nevada, the District of North Dakota.

Brancart & Brancart accepts cases by referral only from fair housing agencies, civil rights organizations, the United States Department of Justice, and other state and local agencies. The firm does not accept payment from its clients, most of whom are low income, but rather receives its attorneys' fees according to fee shifting statutes under the federal Fair Housing Act and other civil rights laws.
The firm's active fair housing cases involve issues of discrimination on the basis of race, national origin, familial status, disability, and gender, including sexual harassment, representing individuals who have been the victims of housing discrimination as well as non-profit fair housing organizations.. The firm also handles discriminatory lending cases. Brancart & Brancart also manages class action lawsuits. Currently, the firm represents female inmates in the North Dakota prison system in a class action alleging that the Department of Corrections violated equal protection laws based on gender.

Bruce Hornsby
Celebrated Singer, Songwriter
Bruce Hornsby is a long-time civil rights activist and supporter of NFHA’s fair housing work. Here, straight from Hornsby’s own website, is the radio ad he recorded for NFHA:
"When I wrote the song, 'The Way It Is', I wanted to move people to take a stand on civil rights in this country. While housing discrimination and segregation in 2005 still affect millions of people, that's not the way it has to be. Some things can change and should. And you can help. Join the effort to end housing discrimination by becoming a member of the National Fair Housing Alliance today.
