In most cases, no. University at Buffalo's Office of Student Conduct and Advocacy follows university policy, not the legal system. What you need is someone who understands how UB's specific process works and can help you prepare an effective case. An education advocate typically provides stronger, more targeted guidance than a general-practice attorney because the governing body of rules here is university policy, not criminal or civil procedure. AdvocatED brings deep, specialized expertise in these processes at a fraction of a law firm's cost.
Immediately. University at Buffalo sets strict deadlines for responding to allegations and filing appeals, often 5 to 10 business days from the date of the notice. Missing these windows eliminates procedural options that are otherwise available. Contact AdvocatED as soon as you receive any notice.

Title IX cases have their own procedures, evidence standards, and timelines under federal regulations.
