Our Education Law Practice

We work closely with students and their parents, handling a broad range of issues related to education, including cases involving:

• parents who want to home school their child.
• children who are denied access to school or learning for any reason, including physical or mental health issues
• students whose "right to attend school" has been violated
• adolescents who have been expelled from school
• students in special education who have experienced difficulty either getting into a school or who cannot follow procedures or work within the programs offered
• students with special needs who are not receiving appropriate services
• individuals who want to transfer between schools
• minority students who have language barriers or needs

We have extensive experience assisting students and families and with schools and school systems to keep these individuals in school and out of the legal justice system. Over the past 35 years, we have worked with courts, law enforcement agencies, juvenile detention centers, treatment facilities, families and attorneys as an intermediary for those facing mental health, medical, educational, and legal issues.or juvenile charges and focus on helping families solve these problems internally.

We can help solve your problems.
