Education Law and School Law

Our Education and School Law practice area involves the myriad difficult and unique challenges and difficulties facing students, parents, educators and administrators in an education environment that is far more complex than it was even a few years ago.

We represent clients in matters involving public private and primary schools, public and private colleges and universities, trade schools, and for-profit schools.

Students and parents must remember that actions taken by school districts and administrators are most often guided by the input of experienced legal counsel. Students and parents should therefore proceed carefully when issues and complications arise and consider discussing such issues with experienced counsel. This is true of any education setting, whether pre-school, K-12, secondary/college or post-secondary/graduate.

Our attorneys have been involved with education and school law issues both as counsel and as parents, and we stand ready to provide cost-effective, trustworthy, and sensible advocacy for you and your child.  In tandem with legal advocacy, we are also careful to consider the emotional toll that school-related difficulties can have on students and their families.  For example, we are ready to assist with the following:

  • FAPE (Free Appropriate Public Education), IEPs, PPTs and ESY
  • Section 504 plans
  • Americans with Disabilities Act accommodations and violations
  • Student discipline, including suspensions and expulsions
  • Bullying
  • Title IX and Sexual Harassment
  • First Amendment
  • Residency disputes
  • Teacher discipline and tenure
  • Private school disputes
  • Graduate school disputes
