A Resourceful Georgia Attorney Assisting Parents and Students
We live in a complex world for school-age students, as well as for adults trying to make a living, hold families together, and keep moving in a positive direction. Attorney William P. Churchill understands that having your child act out, test limits, and get in serious trouble at school can be an extreme source of worry and stress.
At our Atlanta firm, we take a specific interest in actions that can keep your children in school-often stepping in to advocate for families who may feel "steamrolled" by school authorities. If you are a parent who needs to know real legal options you may have for contesting a school suspension or threat of expulsion, call 404-537-2805 now and request a free consultation.
If You Feel Powerless Against the Authorities, Please Seek Counsel
Students can face school suspension for a range of violations of both our laws and specific school policies. Cases involving drugs, weapons, fighting, insubordination and other allegations are common, and Georgia public schools have relatively broad authority to take actions they feel protect other students' interests. This includes the authority to suspend your child for up to 10 days without a hearing.
It is essential to recognize that:
- Every school suspension should be taken seriously-especially given that expulsion of your child might make it extremely difficult to register for school even in a different Georgia county
- Regardless of what school authorities or others may have told you, representation by a skilled attorney can change the outcome of hearings and other proceedings that affect your child's school status
We bring sensitivity and experience to our work for kids facing school suspensions, just as we do with family law matters that can have serious consequences across society. Whatever your specific challenge, we will prioritize the well-being of your child and work toward a solution targeting stability and hope for the future.
You cannot know if a lawyer might make a difference until you talk with one willing to examine your case. Please contact us today for counsel at this pivotal time, and count on our honesty and integrity in evaluating what we may be able to accomplish for you and your son or daughter.
