Long Island Lawyers for School Disciplinary Proceedings

The risk of suspension, expulsion, or other disciplinary measures can have a substantial impact on both a child’s education and their future success as independent adults. And whenever your child faces out-of-school suspension of more than five days, or another similarly severe punishment such as expulsion, you are entitled to an administrative hearing. If your child has become the subject of a school disciplinary proceeding, and especially if your child is determined to have a special need, you will need experienced legal representation to ensure your child’s rights and interests are protected.

While school disciplinary proceedings aren’t legal proceedings in the conventional sense, they can nevertheless have a major impact on your child’s welfare and their opportunity for academic success. You are entitled to representation at a school disciplinary hearing, just as you would be at any legal proceeding, and the best way to defend yourself is to take advantage of that right. The education and school disciplinary lawyers at McGuire, Pelaez, Bennett & Belcastro, P.C. will put their knowledge and experience at your disposal to get the best possible outcome for you and your family.

Your Child Deserves a School Discipline Defense

When your child is facing a school disciplinary proceeding, also known as a 3214 Superintendent Hearing (or just a Superintendent Hearing), you and your child will meet with school officials, such as teachers or the principle, along anyone else who was involved in the alleged conduct. You are given an opportunity to present your child’s side of the story, including whether any accommodations might need to be made. At that point, the school officials decide whether disciplinary action is warranted, and what form of discipline, if any, would be appropriate given the facts of the case.

Our Long Island education and school disciplinary lawyers will meet with you to review your child’s case and create a plan that works best for you and your child’s circumstances. We represent clients on a wide range of disciplinary issues, including, but not limited to, attendance issues, truancy, bullying, harassment, hazing, vandalism, threats of violence, assault, and possession of drugs or weapons. Students have rights, but they need legal counsel that can inform them of their rights and advise them on how best to defend themselves in a disciplinary hearing.

If you want your child to get the best possible outcome for their disciplinary case, you need to obtain legal representation as soon as possible. Contact the education and school disciplinary lawyers at McGuire, Pelaez, Bennett & Belcastro, P.C. at 631-348-1702 for a consultation, or visit our contact page.

Reviews

Mi experiencia con los los Abogados en Mcguirre, Peláez son muy profesionales le recomendaría a mucha de mis amigos hispanos
I can’t recommend Brett Bennett — or really, anyone at McGuire, Peláez & Bennett — highly enough. Hiring Brett was hands-down one of the best decisions I’ve made (and trust me, given why I needed a lawyer, I’ve made some questionable ones).

From the start, Brett made the whole process so much less stressful. He’s approachable, sharp, and always available to chat — no legal jargon, no intimidation, just solid, straightforward guidance. My case wasn’t exactly simple, but Brett’s expertise and understanding of the law turned what felt like a mess into a remarkably favorable outcome. Way beyond what I expected.

Also, special shoutout to the receptionist — she was an absolute gem. Every time I called, she was kind, helpful, and somehow managed to make the whole experience feel a little less daunting.

Bottom line: Brett was affordable, worth every penny, and then some. If you’re reading reviews wondering who to trust with your legal headache — take it from me, this is your guy.
Los abogados son expertos en lo que hacen. Me an ayudado anteriormente y hicieron un buen trabajo. Las muchas de frente son muy buena gente.

I couldn't be more pleased with the service. When I found myself in a frustrating traffic ticket situation, their team clearly explained my options, answered my questions, and resolved the issue. My ticket was reduced to 0 points and just a small fee. Special thanks to Daslin!
