School Issues & Truancy Defense

School Issues & Truancy Defense Attorney In Georgia

Understanding School Truancy & Legal Consequences

When a child misses too many days of school, parents can face serious legal consequences, including fines, court hearings, and even the risk of losing custody. Schools and local authorities take truancy violations seriously, and in some cases, they involve juvenile courts, DFCS (Division of Family & Children Services), or law enforcement. If you have received a truancy notice, court summons, or threats of legal action, you need a knowledgeable truancy defense attorney who can protect your child and your parental rights.

How We Help Families Facing School & Truancy Issues

We understand that school attendance problems are often more complex than they seem. Medical conditions, learning disabilities, family challenges, and bullying can all contribute to excessive absences. Our legal team works closely with families to address the root causes of school attendance issues while fighting unfair truancy charges in court.

  • Truancy Defense & Court Representation – If you or your child have been summoned to court for excessive absences, we build a strong defense to reduce or dismiss penalties.

  • School Discipline & Expulsion Hearings – We advocate for students facing suspensions, expulsions, or other disciplinary actions.

  • IEP & 504 Plan Advocacy – If your child has special education needs, we ensure the school provides legally required support instead of penalizing them for absences.

  • Bullying & School Negligence Cases – If truancy is related to bullying, discrimination, or school failures, we hold schools accountable.

  • Parent Advocacy & DFCS Defense – We defend parents against neglect accusations tied to school absences and fight DFCS involvement in truancy cases.
