Strategic guidance for students facing Title IX investigations and sexual misconduct allegations.
Title IX investigations are among the most serious matters a student can face. These investigations involve complex federal regulations, intricate school policies, and allegations that can result in expulsion, transcript notations, and lasting impacts on your education and future.
Whether you're a complainant, respondent, or witness in a Title IX matter, AdvocatED provides expert strategic guidance to help you navigate this challenging process. We understand Title IX regulations and how schools apply them, and we know how to build effective strategies for investigations and hearings.
Allegations of unwelcome sexual conduct, quid pro quo, or hostile environment claims.
Allegations involving non-consensual sexual contact or intercourse.
Complaints involving domestic violence, abusive relationships, or stalking behavior.
Allegations that someone was punished for filing or participating in a Title IX complaint.
From the moment you're notified of an investigation, we help you understand the process, your rights, and what to expect. We advise you on interim measures, no-contact orders, and how to protect yourself throughout the investigation.
Your written statement to investigators is critical. We help you prepare a clear, consistent, and strategic response that tells your side of the story effectively while protecting your rights.
We guide you in identifying and presenting evidence that supports your account — text messages, emails, witness statements, timeline reconstructions, and other relevant materials.
We prepare you thoroughly for live hearings, including question strategies, cross-examination responses, and how to present yourself effectively. We help you understand what questions to expect and how to answer them.
If the outcome is unfavorable, we help you identify grounds for appeal — procedural errors, bias, inadequate investigation, new evidence — and prepare compelling appeal submissions.
