If you are a student or parent dealing with a serious issue involving the Michigan educational system, we are equipped and ready to offer legal advice. You can contact attorney Jason Henry of Sterling Heights' Michigan Law Services, PLLC for a free consultation to discuss your issue and receive engaged, knowledgeable counsel. We represent students in K-12 as well as college and university.
We understand how troubling it can be to face suspension or expulsion, loss of the ability to participate in extracurricular activities, or any unjustified action with a potentially huge impact on a student's future. We want you to know you don't have to deal with a complex and intimidating system alone.
Facing Suspension or Expulsion? Dispute Over Discipline or Special Education?
School discipline lawyer Jason Henry will meet with you and learn your priorities, such as staying in school, staying involved in activities, graduating on time and protecting your academic record. Our knowledge extends to situations involving special education and the discipline of kids with unique needs. We will pursue your rights to contest and appeal decisions, negotiating on your behalf informally or in settings such as:
- Disciplinary hearings before a superintendent, other administrators or the school board
- Individual Education Program (IEP) meetings
- Due process hearings to explore constitutional rights issues
- Mediation sessions intended to resolve your specific dispute
- School board meetings in which policy issues and problems, including those surrounding "zero tolerance" and school discipline procedures, are addressed
Holding Administrators and School Officials Accountable
Injustice can occur at any level in our public or private schools, colleges and universities. Students are sometimes wrongfully accused or unfairly targeted for severe school discipline, and fighting this treatment can be a tall order without a lawyer who knows how to navigate the system. At Michigan Law Services, PLLC, we are experienced, assertive negotiators capable of taking legal action for you, including appeals at the Circuit Court or Federal Court level.
Fast Action Can Be Critical. Call 877.560.4829 or 586.685.3100 for a Free Consultation.
Time may be a major factor in your outcome and the cost of taking productive action. In many school disciple disputes and controversies, the sooner you contact a qualified attorney, the greater your likelihood of achieving your goals before damage to the student's progress is dangerously impeded.
