As experienced Title IX defense attorneys, we’re here to guide you through this challenging process and fight to protect your rights and future. With our skilled legal team on your side, you can feel confident that you have a strong advocate in your corner.

Understanding Title IX at Fresno City College

Title IX is a federal law that prohibits sex discrimination in educational programs and activities that receive federal funding. At Fresno City College, Title IX covers a wide range of issues, including:

• Sexual harassment
• Sexual assault
• Dating violence
• Stalking
• Gender-based discrimination

When allegations of Title IX violations arise, Fresno City College is required to investigate and take appropriate action. This process can be incredibly complex and overwhelming for students facing accusations. That’s where our experienced Title IX defense lawyers come in to help.

The Title IX Process at Fresno City College

If you’re facing Title IX allegations at Fresno City College, it’s crucial to understand the process you’ll be going through. Here’s a general overview:

1. Report filed: Someone files a formal complaint alleging a Title IX violation.
2. Initial assessment: The Title IX Coordinator reviews the complaint to determine if it falls under Title IX jurisdiction.
3. Interim measures: The school may implement temporary measures like no-contact orders or changes in class schedules.
4. Investigation: A trained investigator gathers evidence and interviews relevant parties.
5. Hearing: A live hearing is held where both parties can present evidence and cross-examine witnesses.
6. Decision: A decision-maker determines if a violation occurred based on the preponderance of evidence standard.
7. Appeals: Either party can appeal the decision within a specified timeframe.

Throughout this process, having a knowledgeable Title IX defense attorney by your side is absolutely critical. We can help you navigate each step and ensure your rights are protected.

Why You Need a Title IX Defense Lawyer

You might be wondering, “Do I really need a lawyer for a school disciplinary process?” The answer is a resounding YES. Here’s why:

1. High stakes: Title IX allegations can result in serious consequences, including suspension, expulsion, and a permanent mark on your academic record.
2. Complex procedures: The Title IX process involves intricate rules and procedures that can be difficult to navigate without legal expertise.
3. Limited rights: While you have certain rights in a Title IX proceeding, they are more limited than in a criminal trial. A skilled attorney can help you make the most of your rights.
4. Emotional support: Facing Title IX allegations can be emotionally draining. Having an advocate in your corner can provide much-needed support.
5. Future implications: The outcome of a Title IX case can have long-lasting effects on your education and career prospects.

At Spodek Law Group, we’ve seen firsthand how having experienced legal representation can make a significant difference in the outcome of Title IX cases. Don’t risk your future by going through this process alone.

Just had my Divorce case settled 2 months ago after having a horrible experience with another firm. I couldn’t be happier with Claire Banks and Elizabeth Garvey with their outstanding professionalism in doing so with Spodek Law Group. Any time I needed questions answered they were always prompt in doing so with all my uncertainties after 30 yrs of marriage.I feel from the bottom of my heart you will NOT be disappointed with either one. Thanks a million.

Alex Zhik contacted me almost immediately when I reached out to Spodek for a consultation and was able to effectively communicate the path forward/consequences of my legal issue. I immediately agreed to hire Alex for his services and did not regret my choice. He was able to cover my case in court (with 1 day notice) and not only was he able to push my case down, he carefully negotiated a dismissal of the charge altogether. I highly recommend Spodek, and more specifically, Alex Zhik for all of your legal issues. Thanks guys!

I don’t know where to start, I can write a novel about this firm, but one thing I will say is that having my best interest was their main priority since the beginning of my case which was back in Winter 2019. Miss Claire Banks, one of the best Attorneys in the firm represented me very well and was very professional, respectful, and truthful. Not once did she leave me in the dark, in fact she presented all options and routes that could possibly be considered for my case and she reinsured me that no matter what I decided to do, her and the team will have my back and that’s exactly what happened. Not only will I be liberated from this case, also, I will enjoy my freedom and continue to be a mother to my first born son and will have no restrictions with accomplishing my goals in life. Now that’s what I call victory!! I thank the Lord, My mother, Claire, and the Spodek team for standing by me and fighting with me. Words can’t describe how grateful I am to have the opportunity to work with this team. I’m very satisfied, very pleased with their performance, their hard work, and their diligence. Thank you team!

I can't recommend Alex Zhik and Spodek Law Firm highly enough for their exceptional legal representation and personal mentorship. From the moment I engaged their services in October 2022, Alex took the time to understand my case thoroughly and provided guidance every step of the way. Alex's dedication to my case went above and beyond my expectations. His expertise, attention to detail, and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome were evident throughout the entire process. He took the time to mentor me, ensuring I understood the legal complexities involved to make informed decisions. Alex is the kind of guy you would want to have a beer with and has made a meaningful impact on me. I also want to acknowledge Todd Spodek, the leader of the firm, who played a crucial role in my case. His leadership and support bolstered the efforts of Alex, and his involvement highlighted the firm's commitment to excellence. Thanks to Alex Zhik and Todd Spodek, I achieved the outcome I desired, and I am incredibly grateful for their professionalism, expertise, and genuine care. If you're in need of legal representation, look no further than this outstanding team.

Common Mistakes to Avoid in Title IX Cases

When facing Title IX allegations, it’s easy to make mistakes that can harm your case. Here are some common pitfalls we’ve seen students fall into:

1. Talking to school officials without an attorney: Anything you say can be used against you. Always consult with a lawyer before speaking to school representatives.
2. Discussing the case on social media: Posts on social media can be used as evidence. It’s best to stay off social media entirely during your case.
3. Contacting the complainant: This can be seen as retaliation or intimidation, which can lead to additional charges.
4. Destroying evidence: Even if you think something might be incriminating, destroying evidence is never a good idea and can lead to serious consequences.
5. Assuming the school has your best interests in mind: Remember, the school’s primary concern is protecting itself. You need an advocate who’s solely focused on protecting YOU.

By working with our experienced Title IX defense lawyers, you can avoid these mistakes and give yourself the best chance at a favorable outcome.

The Importance of Acting Quickly

When it comes to Title IX cases at Fresno City College, time is of the essence. The sooner you involve a skilled defense attorney, the better your chances of achieving a positive resolution. Here’s why acting quickly is so important:

1. Evidence preservation: Critical evidence can disappear or become less reliable over time.
2. Witness memories: Witnesses’ recollections may fade or change as time passes.
3. Strategic advantage: Early involvement allows us to shape the narrative from the beginning.
4. Procedural deadlines: There are strict timelines in Title IX cases. Missing a deadline can severely harm your case.
