If you are a college student in Florida and have been accused of sexual misconduct on campus, Title IX will weigh heavily on your case by pressuring your school into finding that you violated the law and your school's code of conduct. The repercussions are serious.
The best way to avoid an adverse outcome in your case is to take your future seriously by hiring a Title IX hearing advisor and attorney like Joseph D. Lento. Coming to the Title IX hearing with an attorney on your side drastically changes the atmosphere of the proceedings by showing the accuser and your school that you mean to defend against the charge. With the preparation, execution, and ongoing help of a lawyer, the odds of your success increase substantially in a process often stilted against the accused.
Preparation: Gathering Evidence and Organizing Your Case
Preparing for a Title IX hearing in Florida is a monumental task and one that frequently overwhelms students accused of sexual misconduct. A Title IX hearing advisor's help can make a huge difference in the outcome of your case by:
- Taking into account your interests and the facts of your situation to determine the best line of defense
- Gathering evidence of your innocence, including signs that the accuser lacks credibility and even expert testimony
- Lining up character witnesses on your behalf
- Crafting effective opening and closing statements
- Coaching you to answer predicted questions with conviction, a credible demeanor, and integrity
- Providing the emotional support that you need during this stressful time
Execution: Delivering Your Case at the Title IX Hearing
Walking into the Title IX hearing with an attorney like Joseph D. Lento changes everything. The accuser's ability to stretch the truth without repercussion diminishes radically, while the hearing body knows that they are being watched closely and have to provide a fair hearing, now. The results of having a lawyer are practical, as well: An opening statement that sets the stage for your defense and a closing statement that pulls everything together, along with a cross-examination that leaves no stone unturned.
Altogether, these factors significantly increase the odds of achieving an acceptable outcome at a Title IX hearing that is often stacked against you.
Ongoing Help: Lodging an Appeal
If the hearing body does not respect your rights to a fair and unbiased hearing, Joseph D. Lento will notice. Signs of bias appear everywhere during a Title IX hearing but often go unnoticed to a trained eye. Attorney Lento can use these signs of an unfair process as the grounds for an appeal that can get your case reheard by a more legitimate panel or decision-maker.
