Goz Odediran
Hey! I am Goz Odediran (O-day-dee-ran). I am an education rights attorney serving the needs of K-12 students, College Students, Teachers and College Professors.
I defend the rights of students to be educated. I firmly believe that any child can learn when given the right and appropriate education.
It is also my privilege to defend the rights of college and post-college students. For these students, education is the most valuable thing to them and I strive to provide legal service carefully tailored to match the level of commitment that the student has to their education.
Finally, I serve the community of educators K-12 to college who are at the forefront of educating the youth of today. I work with educators to ensure that their constitutional and property rights to employment are not revoked through arbitrary processes.
When you retain me, you retain an attorney who values excellence and compassion above all else. These values are inextricably woven into every client that I have the honor to represent.

What Our Clients Say
Peace of mind
AnonymousI was recently put in an unfair position and was forced to resign from a job that I loved! From the very first time I spoke with her, Goz made me feel better about my case!! Although my case was long and hard, she was always there when I had questions or concerns! She fought for exactly what I wanted and didn’t give up until that was achieved!! The whole firm definitely knew what they were doing!
Reported to SBEC for misconduct
RafaelMs. Chigozie is very professional. I am very pleased with her services. The school district where I worked for ten years reported me to SBEC/TEA for misconduct and Miss Goz and her team got a settlement with SBEC/TEA without their help I would have lost my Teacher Certificate. I highly recommend Ms. Goz’s office if you are an educator and have any kind of issues with your school district or SBEC. Thanks Ms. Goz
Wonderful!
MelissaGoz was absolutely wonderful. I couldn't have asked for a better attorney to represent me and the circumstances of my case. She was incredibly professional. But also very personable and was so easy to relate to. She was there for me in a way no one else could be. She believed in me and in my case. It's because of all those things, on top of all the hard work and dedication she put into me and my case, that allowed us to win my case. She did her research and fought for me. Because of all those things, we were successful. Thank you doesn't even begin to describe the gratitude I have!
One of a kind lawyer
Coach Cliff KeelingMs Odediran is truly an extraordinary attorney! I was in danger of losing my teaching certificate and facing a future of uncertainty. My situation seemed hopeless. That changed the moment Ms. Odediran took my case on. My case had been in litigation for over a year and was stuck in red tape but Ms.Goz took over my case and within two months I had a most favorable settlement. Because of her expertise and relentless efforts, my future now is as bright as ever. I will be back in in classroom teaching and making a difference again .I am so grateful to have had Ms.Odediran on my side .I would recommend that if you need an education lawyer you give Ms. Goz a call.
Attorney Chigozie F. Odediran
Chindo Austin IgweikeLegal services, like all other services are best appreciated when they are delivered with passion, commitment, honesty, and a deep sense of responsibility. And when these elements or qualities are garnished with high mental capacity, you are, undoubtedly in good hands. This is, sincerely, my honest and modest opinion of Attorney Chigozie Odediran. Having being a beneficiary of her legal services, and also having seen her at work for some other persons, I can’t but commend the matchless empathy and professionalism with which she “attacks” her job. In my many years of knowing her, I have not found cause to doubt her integrity or fault her value judgement or even question her ethical commitment to her profession. I need not say, that for as long as she is within reach, she would remain my Go-To person for all of my legal matters, a decision I know many a family in the Austin-Round Rock axis have also made.
Professional and Knowledgeable
Dr. ShepherdI was happy when I found Mrs. Odediran. She was my attorney in a complicated case and her knowledge and expertise was exactly what I needed. I highly recommend her and I would definitely use her legal services again. Her services were top notch. This review is from a person who hired this attorney.
An attorney with a passion for her job
FrankI was very fortunate to have had Chigozie (prefers I call her Goz) handle my case. I needed an attorney that would stay on top of things and was overwhelmed with her positive attitude. I've always had to chase attorneys for feedback but never when working with Goz. She is certainly one to watch in the industry and I would recommend her in a heart beat. Bright future ahead. Thanks again Goz!
