Cincinnati Education Law Attorneys
Representing the Rights of Students, Parents, Teachers, & More
Education is one of society’s most important functions. There are laws that protect students, parents, and school employees. Our experienced attorneys will help you navigate this complex legal framework and protect your rights.
School Employment
There are laws that govern the working conditions, contracts, tenure, and dismissal of school employees.
Contact us if you have questions about:
- Your employment contract
- Are being treated unfairly by your employer
- Have been terminated or threatened with termination or non-renewal
- Or need help negotiating a severance package
School Discipline
Schools must follow certain procedures before suspending or expelling a child from school. Our experienced team can ensure that your child is treated fairly and minimize your child’s time out of school. If your child is being suspended or expelled, or if you believe your child has been disciplined unfairly, call us for help.
Students with Disabilities
All children have a right to a free education that is appropriate based on their individual needs. We can help get the school to listen and respond to your concerns about your child’s academic progress. Our team has experience developing 504 plans and IEPs that work and are compliant with the law.
School Safety
School safety is a growing concern for parents. Schools have a responsibility to maintain an environment for students that is physically safe and free of bullying and harassment. If your child has been injured or bullied at school, call us for help.
Post-Secondary Education
Post-secondary students with disabilities have a right to be accommodated under the Americans with Disabilities Act. Post-secondary schools must also provide due process before disciplining or dismissing students, whether or not they have a disability.
Our team is experienced in helping students navigate conflicts with:
- Colleges
- Universities
- And professional schools
If your college or university will not provide reasonable accommodations for your disability, or if your college or university is threatening to discipline or dismiss you, call Freking Myers & Reul LLC for a consultation.

A Down to Earth Approach

“When I was wrongfully terminated by my previous employer there was not a question of who I needed to contact to get the help I needed. The team of Katherine Neff and Randy Freking was amazing and Katherine is a shark! Katherine was by my side to win an unemployment appeal, and in the end, I got exactly what I asked for and needed. I can not say enough about this firm but if you need help give them a call.”- Mike M.

“Would strongly recommend Ms. Erin Heidrich to any family who needs an education lawyer. Ms. Heidrich is the 3rd lawyer whom I ever retained in the past 5 years and the 10th with whom I talked. Just want to say that I would retain Ms. Heidrich without any hesitation if we ever needed an education lawyer again. She is truly effective, professional, and valuable. Other members of FMR are also effective and friendly.”- Jin Z.

“I've had generally mediocre experiences with (only a few) attorneys over a lifetime, but George Reul is the exception. I met him briefly, relating to an employment matter. He is methodical and primed. For once I did not detect a lawyer simply chasing the dollar. He is thoughtful, asks the right questions, and gives clear advice. If I need more help, I won't hesitate to go back. The staff and operation here, too, is top-notch, professional, and clearly able to deliver quality legal services. Good find!”- John S.

“Our experience with this firm has been very positive. I particularly appreciated the clear communication regarding the consultation fee to review the situation and determine realistic next steps. Navigating the user-friendly website, completing the initial questionnaire, receiving a prompt response, and meeting with an attorney all helped us understand the possibilities in a way we could comprehend. The initial support team was accommodating and professional. Jon Allison was patient, respectful, and fully present during the review. His expertise and ability to sift through details, listen compassionately and outline options was reassuring. The objective was to reach a mutually agreeable plan of action and we did. Highly recommend!”- SP D.

“Finding yourself on the receiving end of wrongdoing can be a difficult and daunting experience. And sometimes in order to make things right, you need professional help. Our family was very fortunate to find Mark Napier and his wonderful staff. He reviewed our situation thoroughly and counseled and advised us every step of the way. Not only were he and his staff personable and approachable, but they were also very comforting and assuring during a very difficult and stressful time. Mark Napier rectified a situation for us that we could not have managed on our own. Our many many thanks and appreciation to Mark Napier and his staff. Highly recommended!”- Jim S.

“I recently had the pleasure of consulting with Kelly Myers during a very difficult contractual dispute with my prior workplace. While we agreed that it was best for me to continue myself, at least for a time, she was deeply helpful and insightful. We spoke for over 40 minutes about specific issues and I never felt rushed or unheard. I will recommend Ms. Myers to anyone who asks me for future employment issues. I am grateful and hopeful that this Google Review will bring new business to an attorney who I believe in just after a 40 minute consultation.”- Blake C.

“This law office receives 5 stars from me. My legal counselor was Kelly Myers who was absolutely great. After three long years of battling my employer alone, I was referred to this office by an affiliate. They were a breath of fresh air and they were able to get my previous employer to the table. I highly recommend their office.”- Rosemary O.

“Erin Heidrich, Attorney, and Heather Waldron, Client Relations Director, handled my case with dignity and respect. They understood my concerns and supported my efforts to have a successful outcome. I am grateful for their commitment and support. I highly recommend them to anyone with employment concerns or challenges.”- Kristilynn T.

“This team exceeded my expectations! They kept me updated at all times, answered & addressed any questions/concerns I had, & most importantly won my case. Highly recommend!”- Kofi F.
