Our education lawyer works with clients who have been harmed in an educational setting — from preschool to postgraduate school, both public and private. An education lawyer handles a wide variety of issues, from Civil Rights cases, to special education issues and personal injury lawsuits. If, God forbid, you or your child has been the victim of a criminal act at school, such as assault or sexual abuse, a prosecuting attorney will be responsible for handling criminal charges, while an education attorney handles the civil suit to obtain monetary damages for the victimized party.
