Kansas City College Student Defense Lawyer

A Title IX complaint, an academic integrity accusation or a code of conduct violation can threaten far more than a single semester. It can put your transcript, your scholarship, your athletic eligibility and your future career or graduate school plans at risk.

At Holman Schiavone, LLC, we defend college students throughout the Kansas City metro area, including those attending UMKC, Rockhurst University, Avila University, Metropolitan Community College, the University of Missouri and the University of Kansas.

What We Defend Against

College discipline cases come in several forms, and the right defense depends on what you’re actually facing:

• Title IX And Campus Misconduct Defense: Title IX complaints involving allegations of sexual misconduct carry serious, often permanent consequences. We help students understand the process and present the strongest possible defense at every stage.
• Academic Integrity And Code Of Conduct Hearings: Every school handles disciplinary hearings differently, and the process can feel stacked against a student who doesn’t know the rules. We help you understand your specific school’s procedures and advocate for a fair outcome.
• Safeguarding Your Academic And Career Future:  A permanent transcript notation, a suspension or an expulsion can follow a student for years. We work to protect your standing, your financial aid, your scholarships and your path toward graduate school or a professional license.

Whatever the accusation, we build your defense around the specific rules and process your school actually follows.

A Local, Personal Approach

As Kansas City lawyers, we know the schools, the processes and the stakes for local students. We treat every client as an individual, not a case number, and you’ll have direct access to your attorney throughout the process rather than being passed between staff.
