Education & Student Defense

Who We Are

McCarthy Lebit’s education attorneys bring their experience and capabilities to the complex area of education law. Our services range from representing children and young adults with intricate IEPs to training teachers and educating students about Title IX. We offer assistance with the following:

We have the experience, dedication, and sensitivity to assist colleges and universities in achieving safety and legal compliance goals. We rely on the depth of our firm and, when necessary, will seek collaboration from lawyers in our other practice areas to best meet the needs of our clients.

How We Help

Our attorneys take a compassionate approach to helping our clients resolve their problems. We understand the complexity and sensitivity needed to help our clients who face emotionally charged and difficult situations. Because our attorneys are familiar with the intricacies of dealing with school systems and school administrations, they can successfully navigate the protocols and bureaucracy of education law cases.

We understand the challenges and oversight associated with education and invest the time needed to understand each client’s history, traditions, and goals when delivering sophisticated legal services.

Who We Represent

We work with families advocating for their children, of all ages, who are facing challenges in the education system. We represent students from preschool through the end of their educational career. We handle matters for post-graduate students, including law students, dental, nursing, medical students, residents, and others in post-doctoral programs.

We have worked with educational institutions in many capacities when a client is faced with an allegation of sexual misconduct or assault. Protecting students is an essential concern of McCarthy Lebit, and we will continue to protect student rights.
