Manhattan, New York
At Tully Rinckey, our New York City education law attorneys have experience representing both parents and students as well as educators and districts across the New York metropolitan area, including but not limited to Manhattan, Queens, the Bronx, Brooklyn, Staten Island, and Long Island.
When it comes to assessing the unique challenges that come with addressing what students, parents, educators, and administrators face, the New York City education law attorneys at Tully Rinckey stand out by having a deep and thorough understanding of New York State’s ever-increasingly complex education environment.
From elementary schools to universities, both private and public, our attorneys have seen cases like yours and will utilize our vast experience in education law to defend your interests and achieve your goals. We have seen many individuals try to “go it alone” when it comes to addressing issues that they or their students are facing, and unfortunately, due to the differences in how academic proceedings are handled, they often suffer because of it. If you find yourself at odds with a school, you need an experienced ally who will help you keep track of the various deadlines and navigate the complex hearing processes so that you can maintain your educational career.
Our attorneys have handled numerous matters for school officials, districts, and educators, including:
Additionally, our attorneys are familiar with many other aspects of education law, including areas around ADA/special education accommodations. Our attorneys serve as zealous advocates for children with special needs, assisting parents with:
Our attorneys also have experience with Title IX, discrimination, and student misconduct matters. Having assisted clients with representation in Superintendent’s Hearings and Manifestation Determination Reviews, as well as facing college/university disciplinary committees, 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.
Disciplinary hearings and other school-related conduct matters are frequently handled in a manner comparable to a traditional court hearing or trial, with the key difference being that these hearings are not legally obligated to follow the traditional court rules.
As such, the accused is not always considered innocent until proven guilty, and while schools typically provide some form of due process to the student, in practice it isn’t always so. Due to the pressure schools face to maintain a reputation, along with their familiarity with review board processes, students are often thrust onto the back foot, being dispensed judgment before they can get their bearings.
Even outside of disciplinary matters, students face similar disadvantages when it comes to academic progression disputes or ADA problems. Without the assistance of an experienced education law attorney, these students might either be unable to mount a successful dispute or, worse, be forced to accept the student’s fate without being able to file a disagreement.
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.
