Defense in School Administrative Hearings

The juvenile system is designed to rehabilitate minors accused of crimes. Often, schools take a different path when it comes to punishing students who are accused of crimes on school grounds. Grade schools, middle schools and high schools will frequently suspend children in administrative hearings.

Students have the right to an advocate to represent them in these hearings. Attorney Altschuler has the experience to stand up for children in school hearings so that their education and natural development are not jeopardized.
