School Discipline & Restorative Justice

School Discipline & Restorative Justice: We fight inappropriate suspensions, expulsions, and referrals to law enforcement, advocating restorative measures that keep students in the classroom and foster personal growth.

Special Education Advocacy: We ensure schools meet their legal obligations by securing comprehensive, individualized education plans that address each child's unique needs and protect their right to quality instruction.

Juvenile Criminal Defense: When a youth faces criminal charges, we mount a holistic, interdisciplinary defense that aims to keep them out of detention and back in a supportive community setting.

Education Law Representation: From due-process hearings to state and federal complaints, we hold educational institutions accountable for discriminatory practices and uphold students' constitutional rights.

Disability Rights Support: We defend students with disabilities against inadequate services, ensuring they receive the accommodations and support mandated by law.

Police-Free School Advocacy: We promote policies that remove law enforcement from school environments, reducing the risk of criminalizing minor infractions and preserving educational integrity.

Holistic Youth Defense: Our collaborative approach integrates legal counsel with community resources, creating a safety net that prioritizes rehabilitation, education, and long-term well-being.
