Our Education Attorneys Advocate For Student Needs
Many students, whether they attend public or private schools, universities, community colleges, or trade programs, may face a challenge that could threaten their academic success. We help you and your child understand your rights under federal law, including Title IX and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). If your student, or you yourself, need help securing fair treatment under these and other acts, we’re ready to step in and help.
Some of the education-related matters we handle for students include defending college and university students accused of DUI or minor-in-possession, sexual misconduct, drug-related charges, and other criminal allegations. We also protect victims of on-campus sexual harassment or assault.
Our attorneys represent and advise you during student disciplinary proceedings or administrative hearings, such as people accused of academic dishonesty, including plagiarism.
We also help families of students with special needs who require certain accommodations as part of their Individualized Education Program (IEP). We can help you develop a plan, ensure that the school and its educators are compliant with your student’s accommodations needs, and stand up for your student if they are mistreated.
Legal Advocacy for Teachers and Education Professionals
Our commitment to educational advocacy extends beyond students. We also represent teachers, professors, administrators, and school support staff. If you are faced with disciplinary action, you may be at risk of losing your job or your license; we’re here to mount a vigorous defense on your behalf. Or, perhaps you are dealing with a breach of contract affecting your employment. We can protect your rights and employment status.
Some of the matters our attorneys regularly assist educational professionals with include defending your reputation and position in code or conduce or professional education violations, resolving disputed intellectual property and academic work product, and helping you assert your rights under the Tenure Act. We can also assist with license restoration and employment disputes and file Title VII claims in cases of employment discrimination.
