Education

This Firm has developed a niche practice in education law, assisting students to secure a quality public education or defending students from suspensions or expulsions from colleges and universities. In a modern society, education is perhaps the most important fundamental right. A quality education will open a wealth of opportunities for you or your child. Ensure that you receive the education to which you are entitled. This Firm can assess whether your child is receiving a proper education in his or her public school. If not, this Firm is capable of employing a variety of strategies to gain access to an alternative school or enhanced educational program. A child with special needs requires special attention and expertise in education. Children with special needs are entitled to a variety of protections under state and federal law. The Firm can defend the rights of your special needs child to receive the individualized training and skills he or she deserves. Colleges and universities present different challenges. If you or someone you love is enrolled in a college, university, or graduate program, the Firm understands the extraordinary sacrifice in time and resources that a family invests in secondary education. If your college student is facing academic probation, disciplinary charges, suspension or expulsion, the harm of such punishment could be irreparable. A student expelled from a college or university could lose his entire tuition investment and be barred from his or her chosen profession or field of study. Under these circumstances you must consult with an attorney immediately when any accusation is threatened or lodged in college. Schedule a consultation to understand your rights as a student or the parent of a student and to defend against any deprivation of a quality education.
