College Students

If your child is a college student and has been accused of sexual misconduct—assault or harassment—you need to take that allegation seriously and move quickly to protect your child’s rights and future.

“No one will protect the rights of your child better than we will.”

Andrew Miltenberg and his team of experienced Title IX attorneys will ensure that your child receives due process and is afforded the rights they are entitled to. If there’s any evidence of a gender bias or a denial of due process or fundamental fairness, a Title IX lawsuit can be filed on your behalf.

When Should I Hire a Lawyer?

The sooner you hire an attorney, the sooner you can be assured that your child’s rights will be protected. Because Title IX cases are handled on campus, through university investigations, the burden of proof is much lower than in a court, and a school can use “a preponderance of evidence,” or “clear and convincing evidence” to determine responsibility.

Legal representation will ensure:

• The college or university follows its published standards
• The accused has access to accuser and witness statements and materials
• The accused can submit witnesses and materials and questions for the accuser
• The accused has a full and fair opportunity to be heard
• The accused has a right to an appeal

What We Do for You

We are committed to advocating for accused faculty and students’ rights: due process under the law is a right, not a privilege. We believe that the serious nature of the accusations and the life-altering adverse consequences of being found responsible make this a critically important fight. We carefully make a record of every possible misstep or bias by the school during the process, so we can pursue justice in a court of law, regardless of the on-campus finding.

We have represented college students across the country, and we will help you. Call us at 212-736-4500 or contact us today.
