Our advisors specialize exclusively in academic and disciplinary matters. We know how conduct boards think, what appeals committees look for, and how to present the strongest possible case at your specific institution.
Our advisors bring deep expertise in school disciplinary processes. The same knowledge base law firms charge premium rates for, and often more specialized. We offer that expertise at a significantly lower cost, with full transparency from the start.
From UVA's single-sanction Honor Committee to Ohio State's COAM to Harvard's Ad Board. Every institution is different. We provide guidance tailored to your actual school, not generic advice.
We work directly with students and regularly include parents in the process when that's helpful. Whether you're a student in crisis or a parent trying to help, we meet you where you are.
Whether you made a mistake, were falsely accused, or are navigating something complicated, we're not here to judge. We're here to help you present the strongest possible case.
“I didn't know educational advisors and advocates existed for university policy matters until we found AdvocatED. The AdvocatED team was thorough, strategic, and knew exactly how to work within the school's own policies to build a compelling appeal. They also helped gather supporting statements from other individuals involved that strengthened the case significantly. The result was a meaningful reduction in sanctions that kept our son in school. If you're a parent navigating a college policy process and feel like the system isn't treating your student fairly, contact AdvocatED. They know how these processes work and they deliver results.”

“AdvocatED helped me successfully navigate a medical school dismissal appeal and achieve a favorable outcome. Their expertise in higher education policy and the medical school appeal process was clear from the start. They were quick to respond to any questions I had, they were extremely detailed and strategic in both their writing and overall approach, and they were even more affordable than other law firms that I spoke with. I highly recommend AdvocatED for anyone facing academic dismissal!”

“I hired AdvocatED to help me appeal a Title IX finding against my child, and it was one of the best decisions I made. The situation was incredibly stressful as a parent, and I felt overwhelmed trying to navigate the school's process on my own. From the start, they brought clarity, strategy, and a deep understanding of Title IX procedures. They carefully reviewed the case, identified key issues in the school's handling of the matter, and developed a strong, well-structured appeal. Thanks to their work, the original decision was set aside on appeal. That outcome truly speaks for itself.”

“AdvocatED helped me win my athletic scholarship appeal and completely turned my situation around. I was facing losing my scholarship after an injury, and they knew exactly how to present my case using the school's own policies and documentation. They assisted with my appeal, prepared me for my hearing, organized everything clearly, and ensured my story was backed by real evidence. Because of their help, my scholarship was fully reinstated and I was able to stay in school. If you're dealing with a scholarship appeal, student discipline issue, or unfair university decision as a student or student-athlete, I highly recommend AdvocatED.”

AdvocatED provides strategic education advising for students and families navigating academic misconduct, disciplinary hearings, Title IX investigations, academic dismissals, suspensions, K-12 suspensions and expulsions, IEP and 504 disputes, and student-athlete eligibility matters. We are not a law firm. We work nationwide and respond to free case review requests within hours.
Most student conduct and academic misconduct cases do not benefit from legal representation. They benefit from someone who knows how a specific school's process actually works. An education advisor handles the institutional process at a fraction of attorney cost. Hire an attorney when criminal charges are running in parallel, when you are considering a federal lawsuit, or when a special-education matter has progressed to formal due-process litigation.
AdvocatED offers a free initial case review. After scope is established, most matters are quoted as flat fees in the low four figures, dramatically below the $5,000-$30,000 retainers typical for law firms handling the same matters. Pricing depends on case complexity and timeline.
We respond to most case-review requests within hours, not days. School deadlines are short and we treat urgent cases with priority. For time-sensitive cases, text (772) 237-0555.
