Education.

Parents and students often face complex situations with regard to educational rights, many of which have critical consequences for the future. Attorney Ed Feinstein has been advising parents and students concerning their rights for more than 30 years and has resolved a variety of educational disputes.  He and the attorneys of  FDPK have successfully handled the following types of educational issues:

Civil Rights.

The U.S. Constitution offers American citizens protection against criminal prosecution without cause; discrimination against age, disability, gender, nationality, race, religion or sexual orientation; unlawful search and seizure and unreasonable treatment by the government.  In order to build a strong civil rights case, your attorney must complete a thorough investigation and hire the right experts.  FDPK’s legal team will evaluate your circumstances to determine if, based upon the Constitution, your civil rights have been violated and will advise you as to any legal remedies you may have.

• We will assess your case honestly and help you to select the most appropriate course of action;
• Where possible, we will try to negotiate an early resolution; and
• Where necessary, our experienced and aggressive attorneys will provide you with your litigation options.
