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.

“Our experience with FMR 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!”- Sandy D.

“I highly recommend Freking Myers & Reul. My lawyers Elizabeth "Liza" Newman and Jon Allison were both very attentive, understanding, and extremely knowledgeable about employment law. Their care for me and my situation went above and beyond what was right in the eyes of the law, but what was right for me as a person trying to be valued as an employee and as an individual. I always felt heard and never did I feel like just another case on their docket. I don't have experience with legal situations and their usual costs, but I felt like I more than got my money's worth with this firm. Thank you so much Liza and Jon!”- Karen P.
