In college or at a university, legal issues can quickly derail your future. Whether you’re a faculty member under Title IX inquiry or a student charged with academic dishonesty, you need someone who knows both the law and the university system. Our seasoned Texas university attorneys are available to safeguard your rights and lead you at every turn.
Dealing with legal issues at a Texas University?
Many higher education institutions’ policies and processes are complex and challenging to negotiate without legal counsel; therefore, they are ruled separately. Often, instructors and students are accused of life-altering actions without a proper process or grasp of their rights.
Legal counsel is not just beneficial but also absolutely vital if you are handling a Title IX complaint, an academic integrity breach, program dismissal, or disciplinary accusations. We assist customers in making wise decisions and push back against school overreach or denial of due process.
Reasons It is Significant
The rewards are really great. Your academic record can be permanently harmed by suspension or dismissal. A finding of responsibility in a Title IX case may restrict future chances. Faculty members accused of wrongdoing or facing wrongful termination might see years of academic success vanish suddenly.
That’s why our approach is deliberate and fast. We counsel customers on their rights under federal statutes including FERPA, Section 504, ADA, and Title IX. We study university policies, create written responses, represent customers at hearings, and contest unjust results by appeals or lawsuits. Your odds of a good resolution will be greatly increased by our participation.
Whom We Serve
At Texas institutions, we represent faculty, parents, students, and staff. We know how to operate inside the distinct disciplinary structure of every institution, from major public universities like the University of Texas and Texas and to small private schools like Baylor, Rice, and SMU.
Constitutional due process rights protect you, in addition to school rules, if you attend a public university. Under federal legislation as well as institutional contracts, private universities have responsibilities as well. Whether your case involves a faculty dispute or a student code violation, we understand what’s at stake and how to advocate for the result you need.
What we manage
Our legal team deals with a broad spectrum of university-related legal issues. For pupils, this encompasses accusations of plagiarism or cheating, behavioral allegations, program dismissals, and disability discrimination. We also represent those charged in Title IX inquiries as well as those who are making complaints.
We provide assistance for employment conflicts, false termination proceedings, research misconduct investigations, and Title IX defense for faculty and staff. We have assisted teachers in safeguarding their careers, reputation, and accountability of institutions for policy violations or unfair actions.
True Effect, Real Results
Our graduate student client was suspended after a Title IX claim with hardly any time to build a defense and no obvious proof. We immediately intervened, looked over the case materials, and created a response plan. Representing the student in the disciplinary hearing, our team had eventually the suspension overturned. The student then graduated on time and without a permanent record of the event.
We have helped real people in comparable cases all throughout Texas, from College Station to Austin, Dallas to Houston, providing actual results.
What to Do Next
If you’re facing a university investigation, disciplinary charge, or program dismissal, time is not on your side. The sooner you speak with an attorney, the more options you’ll have. We respond quickly, handle urgent cases, and offer straightforward advice from the very first call.
