If your child has been accused of misconduct at school and faces disciplinary actions such as suspension or expulsion, we will make sure due process is followed under the federal IDEIA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act). In Arizona, children who are under an IEP (Individualized Education Plan) have additional protection and rights against any unfounded suspension, expulsion or bullying charge.

Protecting the Rights of IEP Students

At the education law firm of Kirsch-Goodwin & Kirsch, we represent both rights of IEP students who are wrongfully facing suspension or expulsion and those students who have been harassed or bullied. Our suspension and expulsion attorneys are particularly sensitive to families with IEP students and their concerns. Attorney Hope Kirsch taught special education and supervised special education programs for nearly two decades, and attorney Lori Kirsch-Goodwin navigated the school system with her own special needs child.

Is Your Child Facing Suspension, Expulsion or Bullying Charges?

Your child deserves at the very least to have his or her due process rights upheld under the IDEIA. If your child is facing disciplinary actions or has been accused of bullying, we will look into whether the actions are founded. We thoroughly examine the school's written policies and handbooks to determine the legitimacy of a suspension or accusation. We will take all actions necessary to ensure that your child's future is protected.

Is Your Child a Victim of Bullying?

Bullying is not only physically harmful to a child but emotionally as well. If bullying has been ongoing, we can file a personal injury suit on behalf of your child. We will seek to have those that have bullied your child properly disciplined, either through suspension or expulsions, depending on your school's policies. We give guidance to all our clients on how to effectively handle what us often a sensitive matter.
