You’ve worked hard to get into college or university, and you deserve to attend school and focus on your learning in an environment free from harassment or discrimination based on your sex. In fact, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 forbids any form of discrimination or bias based on gender in both private and public schools in the U.S. Title IX also forbids gender-based violence, harassment, and assault, including verbal and physical abuse, stalking, voyeurism, physical threats, and exhibitionism.
At K Altman Law, we believe everyone has the right to a fair, safe learning environment in which they are evaluated on their merits, not their gender. If you have been a victim of Title IX violations at a Michigan college, university, or any other federally funded school, we want to help you demand justice. Our Michigan Title XI lawyer can help advocate for your rights under the law and seek proper redress of your grievance.
How a Michigan Title IX Can Help You
Both men and women are afforded protection under Title IX. Discrimination and harassment can happen whether you’re male or female, a boy or a girl. It can be peer-to-peer or occur from an employee or teacher toward a student. Whatever your gender, gender presentation, or sexual identity, you have equal protection under federal law.
As your attorney, we’re your advocate and your voice. We know the law well, know your rights, and explain your rights, options, and next legal steps to seek justice. Whether this means filing a complaint with the school or the government, litigating a complaint in civil court, or seeking damages on your behalf, we’re prepared to take all necessary legal action on your behalf.
We start by carefully reviewing your complaint and helping you collect evidence to support it. We then initiate the appropriate legal action on your behalf. Our job as your legal protector extends to protecting you—we handle communications with the other party so you can concentrate on your studies and have peace of mind. We’ll protect the integrity of your claim and fight hard for a just resolution.
