Title IX Advisors
Title IX Advisors Across the Nation – The Fierberg National Law Group
Nationally-known Title IX attorneys Cari Simon, Lisa Cloutier, and Iliana Konidaris are the most effective advocates and Title IX advisors for people who have suffered sex-based discrimination in schools, universities, or other educational institutions.
How Do I Know If My Rights Have Been Violated?
Title IX is a federal civil rights law that prohibits discrimination based on sex in any educational program or activity that receives federal funding. This includes most schools, including private institutions and grades K-12. Title IX addresses sexual harassment, sexual violence, or any gender-based discrimination that may deny a person access to educational benefits and opportunities. Under the law, student-athletes and athletics programs are also protected based on the fact that athletic programs receive federal funding.
While some Title IX violations – such as rape, sexual assault, or gender-based violence – may be more easily identifiable, other violations are more subtle. This is why it is so important to seek out an experienced Title IX lawyer who can help you understand your Title IX rights. The Title IX advisors on our team at The Fierberg National Law Group understand the challenges that come with filing claims against institutions that are more interested in maintaining their reputation and often hide behind well-heeled lawyers who resort to blaming and shaming the victims.
