We have represented the Los Angeles Community College District, the Los Angeles Unified School District, and various private schools and universities, and their administrators, teachers and staff, for nearly two decades. Those cases have involved claims of assault, battery, dangerous conditions of public property, discrimination (based on age, gender, national origin, race, and sexual orientation), excessive force, failure to accommodate disabilities, failure to comply with the Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act (IDEA), failure to obtain medical care, false arrest, false imprisonment, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligent hiring, negligent training, sexual assault, sexual harassment, statutory rape, unlawful retaliation, vicarious liability, and wrongful discharge.
We have obtained innumerable settlements on terms favorable to our clients, and we have prevailed in numerous cases, on motions and by jury trials. Past results are an uncertain portent of future outcomes, but our lawyers have never lost a trial in the Education Practices area.
