When a School Fails to Protect or Treat Your Child Fairly, You Have the Right to Act
Every parent wants their child to feel safe, supported, and respected at school.
But when that doesn’t happen — when your child is unfairly disciplined, discriminated against, or mistreated — it can be frustrating and heartbreaking.
At Your Education Lawyer, we help families across Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and New York City resolve disputes with both public and private schools.
We work to hold schools accountable, protect student rights, and ensure every child receives the education they deserve.
Common School Disputes We Handle
We represent families in a wide range of K–12 school matters, including:
We provide full legal support through:
Unfair suspensions or expulsions
Bullying and harassment ignored by school staff
Discrimination or retaliation based on race, gender, disability, or religion
Failure to follow IEP or 504 Plan accommodations
Unjust disciplinary actions against students with disabilities
Teacher or staff misconduct
Violation of privacy or student records (FERPA)
Unequal treatment or exclusion from programs and activities
No matter how complicated the situation, our goal is the same — to protect your child’s rights and restore fairness in their education.
Public vs. Private School Disputes
While both types of schools can mishandle student situations, the rules and remedies differ significantly:
Here’s what you can expect:
Public Schools: Must follow federal and state education laws, including IDEA, Section 504, and Title VI/Title IX.
Families have the right to file complaints, request hearings, and appeal unfair decisions.
Private Schools:
– Governed by contracts, school policies, and sometimes state-level education regulations.
While not always subject to federal mandates, private institutions can still be held accountable for breach of contract, negligence, or discrimination.
We understand how to navigate both systems effectively — using the right mix of negotiation, documentation, and, when necessary, legal action.
