Pittsburgh Education Law Attorneys
For students and faculty members experiencing problems and disputes within the education system, specifically problems related to Title IX, you should know you have many rights and options available to you. Mount Royal Lawyers counsels and represents clients with educational law problems stemming from discrimination based upon sex, gender harassment and retaliation. We represent students, teachers and other faculty members. We strive to resolve your legal issue efficiently and effectively.
Title IX protects students from sexual harassment from faculty members and the creation of a hostile education environment by other students, if that hostile environment is created by gender discrimination. If your child has been molested or abused by a faculty member, or has been bullied or harassed by other students, Title IX or the Civil Rights Act might provide relief from such conduct.

Resolving Your Educational Law Disputes with Quality Services
Our firm represents students and faculty members in other cases under Title IX. These cases involve the proportionality of opportunities for women to engage in interscholastic sports. It can also involve educational activities and opportunities related to discrimination in certain academic fields and in virtually every aspect of academic life. This includes faculty rights to tenure or promotion or treatment not biased by gender discrimination.
Right to Free Appropriate Public Education and IDEA
Individuals With Disabilities Act (IDEA) guarantees that children with special needs will receive a free appropriate education. We also represent students that are denied appropriate free public education. We assist parents in negotiating IEPs with school districts. We are willing and prepared to litigate with the school district in due process hearings with issues regarding learning disabilities, autism, dyslexia, ADD, and ADHD. If a school district has denied your child rights under IDEA or Section 504, or has not complied with an IEP, you may have a claim for damages.
School Bullying and Harassment
We also address issues of bullying, abuse, and harassment of students by other students, including sexual harassment, as well as privacy issues involving a student's right to confidentiality of school records and contents of an IEP plan. We have represented students who have had constitutional rights deprived in the areas of supervision, students who have been harassed by their peers or faculty members.
We understand this can be emotional and stressful for students and parents alike. Our firm is dedicated to understanding your goals and striving to meet those goals thoroughly and efficiently. Contact us to arrange your free consultation.
