Title IX Defense, Campus Harassment, and Disciplinary Hearings

Collegiate and high school disciplinary actions move rapidly and carry severe, lifelong reputational consequences. When individuals face allegations of sexual misconduct, interpersonal conflicts, or academic dishonesty, our team provides early intervention. Practicing as dedicated harassment lawyers and workplace discrimination lawyers, the attorneys safeguard due process rights in complex proceedings. Key areas of student defense include:

• Comprehensive defense in university Title IX sexual misconduct and gender-based discrimination investigations.
• Representation in academic integrity hearings involving plagiarism, cheating, and research misconduct allegations.
• Aggressive expulsion and suspension defense across public, private, and charter institutions.
• Defense of student organizations, fraternities, and sororities in hazing and code of conduct inquiries.
• Professional license defense for teachers, administrators, and educational staff facing credential revocation.

Writs of Mandate and Educational Contract Litigation

When universities or school boards issue unjust disciplinary rulings or violate institutional bylaws, legal relief in court becomes essential. Serving as skilled contract lawyers and business litigation lawyers, the firm files petitions for administrative writ of mandate in California Superior Courts to overturn unlawful sanctions. The firm also enforces private school enrollment contracts, defends tenured faculty in wrongful termination actions, and challenges arbitrary degree withholdings or grading disputes.

Special Education IEP Rights and Disability Advocacy

Every student is entitled to a free appropriate public education under federal and state law. Kosnett Education Law Firm represents families in Individualized Education Program (IEP) meetings, Section 504 accommodation reviews, and formal due process hearings under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). When school districts fail to provide necessary specialized instruction or ignore disability accommodations, the firm holds administrative authorities accountable.

Coordinated Disciplinary and Criminal Defense

Campus disciplinary investigations often overlap with external law enforcement inquiries involving assault, drug possession, or theft. Drawing upon extensive experience as criminal defense lawyers and violent crime defense lawyers, attorney Louis V. Kosnett ensures that statements made during internal school hearings never compromise parallel criminal matters, providing seamless dual-track defense.
