PRACTICE AREAS

Navigating the diverse educational landscape of Texas, which boasts over 8000 schools and 400 colleges, presents a myriad of challenges. In both public and private institutions, teachers and students grapple with issues stemming from the rampant and often inappropriate use of artificial intelligence, inadequate funding, disparities in resource allocation among schools, lax oversight of educator certifications, teacher shortages, variable educational quality, and instances of bullying, both among students and directed by educators.

These represent just a snapshot of the challenges faced by parents and students within the Texas educational system.

In the face of these issues, parents, students, and educators require legal support from professionals well-versed in educational law. They need attorneys with a robust understanding of the law and the experience and reputation to vigorously defend and safeguard the rights of K-12 students, college or graduate students, medical and health professions students, and Texas educators.

This is where we come in.
