Educational institutions and their employees exercise authority over students in many respects. Yet there are also laws that protect students from the abuse of that authority. We represent students and families in all aspects of education law where the decisions of educational institutions can have significant consequences, including the following areas:

  • Suspensions and Expulsions
  • Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act
  • Charter Schools
  • Interscholastic Athletics
  • Inter-District Transfers and Appeals
  • Discrimination/ Retaliation
  • Education Rights of Youth in Juvenile Facilities or Foster Care
  • Educational Rights of Homeless Youth
  • Higher Education and Professional Schools
  • Bullying & Harassment
  • Free Speech
  • Public Records/ Public Access
  • Grade Appeals
  • Correcting False or Misleading Records
  • Student Attendance Review Board Proceedings

"It was Godsend to have someone fighting for our family"

Thank you Rosa for being so amazing and successful! We are so grateful our case settled with our goals met. As most parents of special needs child, we were exhausted and hopeless. It was Godsend to have someone fighting for our family. It was such a different experience to have you help us negotiate what our daughter needed and could expect to receive, rather than trying to figure it out on our own.

"I am extremely grateful"

The expertise that Jenny has in special needs children helped us to get the appropriate school placement and compensatory services to make up for what he had been denied. Her professionalism, knowledge and confidence during all of the proceedings were a constant.

Also, it was a great help to talk to a person who understood the needs that my son has and responded very quickly to my questions or concerns. Without Jenny to guide us and fight for my son, he would never have been able to obtain the appropriate educational setting and services that he is entitled to but the district had not provided to him. I am extremely grateful.
