California Title IX Defense Lawyers
Legal Protection Against Accusations
Title IX stands as a crucial federal civil rights law that prohibits sex-based discrimination in educational institutions supported by federal funding. In California, this wide-reaching statute encompasses various educational settings, including K-12 schools, colleges, and universities. For some private institutions, if any of their programs or activities receive federal funds, they, too, fall under Title IX regulations.
Violations under Title IX encompass a spectrum, spanning from sexual harassment to instances of retaliation. These transgressions can have severe implications for the accused and the educational institution.
When faced with accusations falling under Title IX, individuals often find themselves subject to investigations initiated by their educational institution. This investigative process carries immense weight, potentially impacting academic standing, future educational opportunities, and personal reputation. The stakes are undeniably high for those navigating Title IX investigations.

"They were always available quickly, to address my concerns. Having dealt with some law firms before, I really appreciated this."
Steven Raiser's law firm handled my case with excellence throughout the process. I had a SBA EIDL loan that got transferred to the Department of Treasury unexpectedly, and had a 30% penalty added to the amount due, and due very quickly, which was very stressful. After talking with Steven Raiser, and working with Harry Gill, who was absolutely brilliant in working with me and preparing the case, they were able to recall the case to the SBA. They were always available quickly, to address my concerns. Having dealt with some law firms before, I really appreciated this.
Very grateful and appreciative to Steven Raiser and Harry Gill. Great work- Harry -
They treated me wonderfully and helped me out of a bind. I feel that this firm really cares.- Michelle A.
