What is Title IX and Why Do You Need Legal Support?

Title IX is a federal law that prohibits sex discrimination in educational programs that receive federal funding. While originally focused on athletics, it now covers a wide range of issues including sexual harassment, sexual assault, and gender-based discrimination.You may be thinking, “It’s just a school investigation – do I really need a lawyer?” The answer is a resounding YES. Here’s why:

• Title IX cases can result in serious disciplinary action, including suspension or expulsion
• The process is often biased against the accused, with limited due process protections
• Statements you make during the investigation can be used against you in potential criminal proceedings
• The outcome can have long-lasting impacts on your academic and professional future

Don’t try to go it alone. With the help of our experienced Title IX attorneys, we can guide you through every step of the process and fight to protect your rights and reputation.

How to Find Qualified Title IX Legal Support

When facing a Title IX case, you need an attorney who specializes in this complex area of law. Here are some tips for finding the right legal support:

1. Look for experience: Seek out attorneys or firms with a proven track record handling Title IX cases. Ask about their success rate and familiarity with your school’s specific policies.
2. Check credentials: Ensure the attorney is licensed to practice in your state and has no disciplinary actions against them.
3. Consider location: While not essential, an attorney familiar with your local area and school may have valuable insights and connections.
4. Schedule consultations: Most reputable attorneys offer free initial consultations. Use this opportunity to assess their knowledge and determine if they’re a good fit for your case.
5. Ask about fees: Be clear on the fee structure and what services are included. Some attorneys may offer payment plans or sliding scale fees for students.

The Importance of Acting Quickly

Time is of the essence in Title IX cases. The sooner you secure legal representation, the better positioned you’ll be to defend yourself. Here’s why acting quickly is crucial:

• Evidence preservation: Your attorney can help ensure important evidence is collected and preserved before it’s lost or destroyed.
• Witness statements: Early intervention allows your lawyer to gather witness statements while memories are fresh.
• Strategic planning: With more time, your attorney can develop a comprehensive defense strategy.
• Procedural protections: Your lawyer can ensure the school follows proper procedures and respects your rights from the start.

Remember, the school’s Title IX investigators are not on your side. They may pressure you to make statements or admissions without legal counsel present. DON’T FALL FOR IT. Exercise your right to remain silent and contact us immediately.

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.
