Gun Violence Lawyers
When Schools Fail, We Take Action.
We are nationally recognized for representing victims and families affected by school shootings and for holding schools, government entities, law enforcement agencies, and other institutions accountable when their failures contributed to preventable acts of violence.
We Help Families Get Real Answers and Find a Way Forward.
In the wake of violence, a school’s first priority becomes protecting its reputation. Their lawyers and PR teams will work to control the narrative and shift blame. We know this strategy because we have spent three decades challenging it and holding institutions accountable nationwide.

K-12 School
Shootings
When schools and districts fail to prevent gun violence, they can be held responsible. We stand with students and families to demand justice and accountability. Families deserve truth and accountability.
Prevention Failures & Ignored Warning Signs
School shootings often follow ignored warning signs. When schools fail to act on known risks, the consequences can be devastating. We investigate what schools knew and whether harm could have been prevented.
A Record of Exposing Institutional Failure
Our job is to get real answers and hold schools accountable when they fail to keep students safe. We take a close look at every case to understand what happened, what went wrong, and who should be held responsible. This includes examining:
- Inadequate Security Measures: Failures to implement and maintain proper security protocols, such as controlled access points, trained security personnel, and functioning surveillance systems.
- Ignored Warnings: Evidence that the school administration or staff were aware of threats, previous violent behavior, or bullying and failed to take appropriate action.
- Lack of Supervision: Negligent supervision in hallways, cafeterias, playgrounds, or during school-sponsored events.
- Failed Emergency Response: Inadequate training or implementation of emergency plans that worsened the outcome of a violent event.
By exposing these failures, we not only secure justice for our clients but also compel schools to adopt meaningful safety reforms.

School Violence Litigation: Frequently Asked Questions
Can a school really be held liable for violence between students?
Yes. Schools have a legal duty to provide a reasonably safe environment. If the school knew or should have known about a threat of violence and failed to take reasonable steps to prevent it, it can be held liable for the resulting harm.
What if the school claims they didn’t know the attacker was dangerous?
Even if the school did not have direct knowledge, it may still be liable. We investigate whether the school ignored warning signs, failed to enforce its own anti-bullying policies, or fostered an environment where violence was predictable.
How can a lawsuit help prevent this from happening again?
A lawsuit can be a powerful tool for change. By holding a school financially accountable for its negligence, a lawsuit can force the institution to implement new safety policies, improve training, and take student well-being more seriously.
