Langer Law, P.A. specializes in disability rights for students in public and private schools. Disability Rights are Civil Rights. Students with disabilities are entitled to a free appropriate public education otherwise known as FAPE under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Students are also entitled to equal access to an education under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Further protections exist under Section 1983, Title IX and other Federal and State laws.
Langer Law, P.A. provides consultation, advocacy and litigation support in matters related to education including violations of the IDEA, ADA and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, suspension, expulsion, arrest and Baker Act from school. Discipline on a school campus differs dramatically from civil or criminal cases handled in court. School administrators have unequal access and an unfair advantage over the information, the paperwork and the witnesses. The consequences of such an uneven process are serious and often life altering for children.
Langer Law, P.A. practices in administrative, state and federal courts across Florida and Georgia.
Langer Law, P.A. is recognized as one of the top law firms that will litigate education cases through to completion. We are strong and effective advocates protecting the rights of students and their families. Led by Stephanie Langer, our team has vigorously and successfully represented families in due process cases across the state of Florida. We have also filed numerous civil lawsuits against schools and school districts who have caused injury to children.
Dispute resolution includes litigation in administrative, state and federal courts, federal and state complaints, mediation and state facilitated meetings. Not all situations, however, require litigation. Many education cases require strong advocacy. Advocacy work is a central part of our mission to educate families to become their child’s own best support. Strong legal support is critical to effective advocacy. Langer Law, P.A. is uniquely qualified to provide this type of support and education to families.
