Campus Discipline
Received a notice from your school? Don't face it alone.
The majority of these notifications can put your degree, your record and your future on the line. We defend college students (also faculty and staff).
What We Defend
Campus proceedings aren't criminal court. The rules are different, the stakes are personal and schools have their own playbook. We know it.
Title IX
Representation for students accused in Title IX investigations and hearings, from the first notice through appeal.
Student Conduct
Alcohol, drugs, hazing, disorderly conduct and other code-of-conduct violations that threaten suspension or expulsion.
Academic Dishonesty
AI-use, cheating and plagiarism allegations. We give guidance to protect your transcript.
Campus Complaints
Guidance through campus complaint and grievance processes, including appeals, sanctions and readmission.
The Duo
Two attorneys. One focus: defending students. When you hire us, you get both of us.
Leslie Spornberger Jones
Attorney & Co-Founder
Leslie has practiced law for over 20 years. She has a strong preference for the underdog and a firm belief in personal liberty. She defends clients in federal, state and local courts with a skilled, strategic and client-focused approach. Her experience spans Title IX, criminal and administrative matters as well as professional licensing protection. When she is not defending clients, Leslie enjoys drawing, reading and knitting, and she is a self-described "rabid" Rock Lobsters hockey fan.
