New Jersey School Issues
Provided by our New Jersey Family Attorney, Mark S. Guralnick
All too often, parents find themselves on the defensive against their children’s schools and teachers. In many cases, parents are defending their families against oppressive school officials who have invoked disciplinary procedures incorrectly or are otherwise punishing their children without just cause or due process of law. Our New Jersey family attorney knows how difficult these arguments can be and has experience working with these types of lawsuits.
Other cases involve special education students, who may have learning disabilities or other impairments and who have been misclassified by school officials, psychologists, social workers and child study teams. Parents should not hesitate to engage legal assistance when their rights have been ignored and when the rights of their children have been infringed upon. Federal and state disability laws provide a variety of constitutional and administrative hearing rights. An attorney can help parents gather the appropriate evidence and present it to school officials, administrative law judges and other tribunals in order to protect and preserve their children’s legal and academic rights. Also, if you are not happy with the outcome of your lawsuit, our New Jersey appeals attorney can help.
