Yes, you should have an experienced attorney helping you with a Title IX case. If you're a student or university staff, professor, faculty, athletic coach, whatever the case may be, if you're accused in a Title IX case, you need to have somebody solely dedicated to protecting your interest and rights. Unfortunately, schools are often in a rush to judgment. Schools, they do have the accused parties interests and rights in mind, and at times unfortunately, schools do not even play by their own rules. Title IX may be well intended, but due to an unfortunate dynamic behind Title IX, a complainant's interests are often considered, are often aligned with the schools, and a respondent's interests are often considered last, if at all. You need an experienced attorney helping you through the process, preferably from the start.
