Education Law Services

School Discipline

When students face disciplinary actions, the consequences can have a lasting impact on their academic and personal lives. As an education law attorney, I provide compassionate and strategic representation to ensure that disciplinary proceedings are fair and that students' rights are protected.

Suspension and Expulsion Defense

I advocate for students facing suspensions or expulsions, ensuring that schools adhere to due process requirements and follow state and federal guidelines. My approach focuses on minimizing disruption to the student’s education while addressing the underlying issues.

Manifestation Determination Reviews

For students with disabilities, disciplinary actions must include a Manifestation Determination Review (MDR) to assess whether the behavior was related to their disability. I provide skilled representation during MDRs to safeguard the rights of students with IEPs or 504 plans.

Advocacy for Fair Policies

I work with families and schools to address systemic issues in disciplinary policies, advocating for equitable practices that reduce bias and promote restorative approaches.

Special Education Advocacy

As a dedicated education law attorney, I understand the importance of ensuring every child receives the educational opportunities they deserve. Navigating the complexities of special education law can be overwhelming for families, and I am here to provide clarity and advocacy every step of the way.

Individualized Education Programs (IEPs)

I assist families in securing and implementing effective Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) tailored to meet the unique needs of their children. Whether you are just starting the IEP process or need assistance addressing disputes, I ensure that your child's rights under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) are upheld.

504 Plans

Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act guarantees equal access to education for students with disabilities. I help families understand their rights, secure accommodations, and ensure that schools comply with federal regulations to support their child's success.

Dispute Resolution

When conflicts arise between families and schools, I provide experienced representation in mediation, state complaints, and due process hearings. My goal is to achieve the best possible outcomes for your child while fostering collaborative relationships with educators.

Due Process Advocacy

When families and schools cannot resolve disputes through informal means, due process hearings provide a formal mechanism to address conflicts. I am committed to guiding families through this challenging process with skill and empathy.

Preparing for Hearings

Due process hearings require thorough preparation, including gathering evidence, interviewing witnesses, and developing a compelling case. I provide comprehensive support to ensure that your case is presented effectively.

Representation in Hearings

With experience in advocating for families in due process hearings, I provide confident representation to secure the educational services and accommodations your child needs.

Post-Hearing Support

The conclusion of a due process hearing often marks the beginning of a new phase in your child’s education. I assist families in implementing decisions and navigating any additional challenges that may arise.
