Education Law

At Gross McGinley, we understand that educational challenges can be deeply personal and often complex. Our attorneys bring extensive experience handling special education disputes, student expulsions or employee discipline matters, serving clients across Eastern Pennsylvania where few firms offer this level of focused support.

School Boards and Administrators

Education law touches on a wide range of issues that can affect school districts, universities, employees, students, and parents alike. Whether navigating questions about access to educational services, resolving disciplinary actions, or navigating student rights, our team provides clear guidance and practical solutions tailored to each situation.

Special Education Law and IDEA Compliance

We are committed to helping both educational entities and individuals understand their rights and options under state and federal law, including the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. Our approach is rooted in compassion, respect, and open communication – values that have defined our firm for decades.

Student Discipline, Expulsion, and Board Policy

When disputes arise, such as disagreements over Individualized Education Programs (IEPs), eligibility for special education services, or matters involving student or employee discipline, our attorneys work collaboratively to resolve issues efficiently and effectively. We are experienced in mediation, administrative hearings, and, when necessary, litigation. Our team remains focused on the goal of achieving positive outcomes and preserving relationships.
