Student Rights and Discipline:
We advocate for students' rights and help them navigate disciplinary proceedings, including suspension, expulsion, or other disciplinary actions. We also guide issues related to student privacy, special education, bullying, harassment, and discrimination.
Employment and Labor Issues:
We advise educational institutions on matters related to employment and labor laws, including employee contracts, discrimination claims, wage and hour issues, collective bargaining, and employee discipline. We also assist in drafting policies and procedures to maintain a positive and legally compliant working environment.
Special Education Law:
We provide legal representation and advocacy for families and students with disabilities, ensuring they receive the appropriate educational support and accommodations as required by law. Our attorneys assist in Individualized Education Program (IEP) meetings, due process hearings, and resolving disputes with school districts.
Higher Education Law:
