Education Law

Under the IDEA, students with disabilities have a right to an appropriate education, and that education can mean the difference between success and struggle later in life. The attorneys of Education Law Offices are committed to helping students and their parents meet the legal challenges they encounter throughout Colorado. We have devoted our careers to protecting the rights of students. Our education law attorneys bring decades of collective experience and passion for education law to a full range of issues, including:

• Attending IEP meetings
• Filing due process complaints and appeals
• Negotiating settlements; attending mediations
• Representing students facing disciplinary action, including suspension and expulsion
• Identifying and bringing cases of disability discrimination
• Representing higher education students in disputes against colleges and universities

Many of our clients, whether they are young, disabled or simply in a difficult situation, are unable to stand up for their own rights and be taken seriously. We are proud to be their protectors and to advocate for them, whether that involves negotiating with a school district or taking a case to trial.

Juvenile Criminal Defense

Having your child arrested or charged with a crime is frightening for any parent.  At Education Law Offices, we represent children and teenagers facing a variety of juvenile criminal charges.
The juvenile justice system is complicated and difficult to navigate. There are many phases of a juvenile criminal case that can differ based on the charges your child faces. Our lawyers represent juveniles through all phases of their cases, from the initial arrest through trial and sentencing.
We represent children who have been accused of a variety of crimes, including:

• Property crimes
• Assault
• Harassment
• Criminal mischief
• Domestic violence
• Drug-related offenses

Given our virtually unmatched experience and reputation in education law, our attorneys are also qualified to help students address the academic consequences of juvenile criminal proceedings. If your child is facing suspension or expulsion as a result of a criminal allegation, contact us
