Title IX
Student Conduct
Academic Dishonesty
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).
Deadlines on notices are short, often just days. Schedule an affordable consultation before you respond.
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.
