Education
is a vital component in
today's world. The learning experience shapes the
future lives of students,
their families and their communities. Education is
core to the American way of
life. But issues that threaten a student's education
experience can occur at
any school from the most prestigious private higher
education institution to a
public K-12 institution. The threat of expulsion,
program access or some other
school issue can impair the student's future quality
of life. Potential earning
power and career path opportunities are at stake for
the student.

Suspensions, Discipline, and Due
Process
Many students and parents
unexpectedly find themselves faced with a suspension,
expulsion, or other act
by a school that seems to be unfair and unwarranted.
Many times, these actions
by a school, college, or university can have
significant and life-changing
impacts on a person’s future. We have many years of
experience of assessing whether
a schools action is legally justified, and
aggressively advocating and
litigating for our clients when a school takes unfair
and excessive actions.
Special Education Lawyer
More issues about special education
and student rights are affecting clients today. As
school districts struggle
with tighter budgets, the possibility increases that
students entitled to
special education through the Individuals with
Disabilities Education Act
(IDEA) may be denied the opportunity. In special
education cases, we represent
students and parents to ensure access to Free
Appropriate Public Education
(FAPE).
