Education Law

Help With Legal Issues Arising From No Child Left Behind The No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) has raised a number of legal and compliance issues for teachers. For example, the NCLB requires certain classes to be taught by specialized instructors. When none are available, teachers may be hired without the proper background — with the understanding that the school must provide training and staff development. When that doesn't happen, the school is in violation of the NCLB but teachers may make mistakes that lead to disciplinary action or even job loss. If you are a teacher facing legal issues related to NCLB, contact me today to schedule an appointment.

Client-Focused Education Law Attorney Christine Hernandez in Mobile, Alabama

Special Education and IEPs | Title 9 and Gender Equity | First Amendment Cases | Teacher Assault | No Child Left Behind Issues

For my entire career as a teacher and an attorney, I have been committed to helping people solve real problems.

I am education law attorney Christine Hernandez. Before I became a lawyer, I worked as a teacher for 14 years, and the same problem solving skills I taught my students are the same skills many of my clients need the most today.

If you are a parent, student or teacher with an education law issue, contact me online or call 251-479-1477 to schedule an appointment.

I handle education law cases related to K-12 schools, post-secondary educational institutions, public schools and private schools in a wide variety of areas:

• Special education: Schools are required by law to provide all children with a free, appropriate education.
  
  When a child has special needs, the school must develop an IEP (individual education plan) and ensure the proper personnel are trained to help your child meet its goals.
  
  If you are the parent and you're school is not implementing a proper IEP for your child — or if you are a teacher facing discipline or job loss due to a school district's failure to provide training — I can help.
  
  
• Title IX gender discrimination issues: I represent students or teachers in gender equity claims related to Title IX, the federal Equal Opportunity in Education Act.
  
  
• First Amendment and Constitutional issues: I handle school cases involving freedom of speech, freedom of religion and the establishment of religion.
  
  
• Teacher assault cases: Assault on a teacher in Alabama carries a charge of assault 2nd, which is more serious than general assault. I represent students or teachers involved in allegations of assault.
  
  
• Truancy and contributing to the delinquency of a minor
