In addition to assisting parents and students, our attorneys have handled numerous matters for school officials, districts, and teachers as well, including:
Our attorneys also have experience with discrimination and misconduct matters. We’ve assisted in matters of academic dishonesty, school suspension removal or modification, and investigations into residency. Having provided representation in Superintendent’s Hearings and Manifestation Determination Reviews, our attorneys have a clear understanding of how these processes work and the quick timeframes they operate in. We also have experience with Title IX investigations/hearings.
The outcome of a school disciplinary hearing can have a dramatic effect on a student’s future. While these types of hearings are held in a manner similar to a court proceeding, they aren’t required to follow the rules of a traditional court proceeding. For one, students are not presumed innocent until proven guilty, and though many schools’ regulations provide for due process for the student, this does not always apply in practice.
School review boards are familiar with the disciplinary hearing process, and they often find themselves at an advantage to students and parents. More often than not, schools tend to dispense justice quickly in an effort to keep their reputations clean, oftentimes before the student even understands what is happening. Having a knowledgeable education attorney by your side will help you navigate the confusing hearing process and ensure that the student’s rights are upheld.
Students who are not facing disciplinary action but have an educational dispute with the school, such as academic progression issues or ADA issues, face similar disadvantages. Without the support of an education attorney, these students and their parents may be unable to mount a successful argument or, worse, may be obliged to accept the situation without even making a complaint.
Tully Rinckey’s attorneys are here to assist you, no matter what problem you are facing. Our qualified and experienced attorneys will handle your case with the utmost regard and attention. We defend the rights of students and educators in New York State, including those throughout Westchester County.

We have nothing to say but wonderful things about our experience with Tully Rinckey-from start to finish. They do what they promise to do on their website- our attorney went above and beyond fighting for us against our school district. He responded quickly every time we had a question, and had our backs going up against our school district’s attorney. We are more than satisfied with the entire experience, and have highly recommended them to friends who are also having to fight for their child’s educational rights.
My daughter was denied speech services from the NYC Department of Education. I called Tully Rinckey PLLC and Nicholas Marricco was assigned to my case. Mr. Marricco and his team amended my complaint to the DOE and represented me during the initial hearing. He or a member of his team always kept me up to date with what was happening regarding my case. The IEP was eventually issued and I did not receive a copy from the DOE. Mr. Marricco ensured I received a copy within 48 hours of knowing that the IEP was finalized. He also reviewed the IEP with me and I was able to close my case with my daughter receiving the services she was entitled to. I would highly recommend Mr. Marricco and this firm to anyone having issues with educational institutions within NYS.
