DISTRICT LAWSUITS
If your student has been harmed by a denial of custom educational services, school negligence or intentional conduct, it is sometimes appropriate to seek judicial assistance. In many cases, parents are entitled to compensation, private care and tutoring reimbursement and attorney's fees. When school districts aren't providing mandated services, parents can fight back.

STUDENT ADVOCACY
Before your child gets left behind educationally, suspended, expelled or injured, it is always beneficial to maintain communication with the school to ensure your student's needs have been adequately addressed
CIVIL RIGHTS VIOLATIONS
Students possess many rights under state and federal constitutions. If your child has been restrained, unreasonably searched or injured by a school and its employees, you may be entitled to financial compensation and attorney's fees.
SCHOOL MISCONDUCT
Students have a right to adequate supervision and protection. If your student has been mentally or physically harmed by a school's negligence, or the activities of an employee, you may be entitled to compensation.
MEDIATIONS AND DUE PROCESS
Sometimes school districts do not want to provide the educational services your child clearly needs. If so, mediations and administrative hearings are tools parents and their attorney's can use to demand action and increased services.
