The federal law Title IX can impact your case if you have been accused of sexual misconduct in Georgia. This law pressures schools to prosecute accused students, often at the expense of their rights to a fair hearing. A Title IX hearing advisor like Joseph D. Lento can minimize this prejudice and maximize your odds of success through effective preparation, strong advocacy, and a long-term plan that ensures your rights are protected.
Preparing for a Title IX Hearing
Attorney Lento can help accused students in Georgia by handling the preparation process that comes between the accusation and the Title IX hearing. Without his professional help, this process can be overwhelming and confusing. Attorney Lento can:
- Decide what the best line of defense in your case will be, based on your interests and the facts of the case
- Find evidence of your innocence and the accuser's lack of credibility through character witnesses and other sources of information
- Line up expert testimony if it would likely help your case
- Craft opening and closing statements that are designed to appeal to the people who will hear your case
- Predict the questions you are likely to be asked during the hearing and determine the best way to answer them with integrity and conviction
- Coach the proper demeanor to use during the hearing
- Provide the emotional support that even the strongest students can need during this difficult and critical point in their college careers
Preparing for a Title IX hearing with Joseph D. Lento also involves taking the initiative and talking to your school's Title IX personnel and attorneys. By showing that you mean business and that you will defend your case can convince them to review the evidence against you and make a reasonable decision that takes your rights into account.
At the Title IX Hearing
While the preparation skills are essential to success, it is the trial advocacy skills that an attorney like Joseph D. Lento brings to the table that really show themselves at the Title IX hearing. Professionally conducted cross-examinations can highlight the weakness of your accuser's case, while the opening and closing statements can make it clear that you are innocent.
Appealing a Bad Decision by the Hearing Board
Unfortunately, some Title IX hearings are so biased against the accused that even the clearest signs of your innocence are not enough to convince the hearing board to find you in violation of the school's code of conduct and Title IX. However, these unfair hearings often have telling signs of prejudice that a skilled attorney can notice and use as the grounds for an appeal that lets you reargue your case in front of a more legitimate panel of judges or decision-makers.
