Our Legal Services
Allen Harris guides students through a wide array of higher education issues, including:
- Title IX: Our experienced legal team has significant experience dealing with Title IX cases on campus, including those involving sexual harassment or assault, stalking, intimate partner violence, and Title IX retaliation. Whether you are a victim of sexual misconduct on campus or believe that you’ve been wrongfully accused of such behavior, our firm can help.
- Student Misconduct Defense: Regardless of the circumstances of your particular case, if you are currently facing allegations of hazing, cyberbullying, or a drug/alcohol violation, there is a perfect chance that you will face disciplinary action. This is why you need an attorney who understands the ins and outs of higher education law and can work with you to protect your education and future.
- College Housing Policy Violations: College housing policies are often quite involved, but most college students who live on campus do not spend all day reading through the housing policy handbook. The school will still expect you to and hold you accountable. It will not matter that you may unknowingly violate your college’s housing policy. This can still lead to serious consequences that impact your academic and personal life. These violations can often result in lost scholarships, suspensions, and even expulsions.
- Student Discrimination: No student should have to contend with discrimination based on race, sexual orientation, color, national origin, religion, or gender. It is illegal. Suppose you are a victim of discrimination as a student and are being denied access to educational programs. In that case, you will need an experienced attorney who truly cares and understands your civil rights.
- Student Free Speech: Free speech has been attacked on many college campuses throughout the United States. If you have been censored, punished, or retaliated against for simply speaking your mind and expressing your views, our firm and often the First Amendment are on your side. Even at private schools, handbooks and university policies usually promise to respect and guarantee free expression. You can turn to Allen Harris to defend your right to speak.
