Review of the Allegations and Evidence Against the Client
The first step in any Title IX defense is to thoroughly review the allegations and evidence against the client. This includes reviewing any written statements or reports related to the incident, as well as any other relevant documents or materials. Our attorneys will carefully examine the evidence to identify any inconsistencies or weaknesses in the case against you.
This review process also includes identifying any potential witnesses who may have information that could be helpful to your defense. We'll also look for any exculpatory evidence that may have been overlooked or disregarded by the university.
Investigation of the Incident and Gathering of Evidence in Support of the Client
Once we have a clear understanding of the allegations and evidence against the client, we'll begin investigating the incident and gathering evidence in support of the client's defense. This includes conducting interviews with any potential witnesses, obtaining any relevant documents or materials, and retaining experts to review and analyze the evidence.
Our attorneys will also review the university's policies and procedures to ensure that they were followed correctly during the investigation and that all relevant evidence was considered.
We will also work with our client to provide any statement or explanation of the events, which is consistent with the fact, to be submitted to the university as a part of the evidence.
Our thorough investigation and evidence-gathering process is crucial in building a strong defense for our clients. By identifying and presenting evidence that supports our client's innocence, we can help to mitigate or even refute the allegations against them.
Having a strong defense strategy is vital in any Title IX case. At Title IX Guardian, we have the experience and knowledge necessary to protect your rights and help you navigate the complex legal process. Contact us today to schedule a consultation and learn more about how we can help you.

Negotiation of a Resolution or Settlement, if Appropriate
After the investigation and hearing process is complete, the university will make a determination on the case. If the evidence gathered and presented in our client's defense is compelling, and the university finds the client not guilty, the case is closed and no further action is taken.
However, if the university finds the client guilty, our attorneys will review the decision and determine if there are any grounds for appeal or if any violations of university policies or procedures occurred during the investigation or hearing process.
If there is no clear path to appeal, our attorneys may explore the possibility of negotiating a resolution or settlement with the university, if appropriate. This could include a reduced penalty or the opportunity for the client to complete educational or counseling requirements in lieu of harsher punishment.
Our attorneys have extensive experience in negotiations and will work to secure the best possible outcome for our client.
Legal Representation in any Related Criminal or Civil Proceedings
Title IX violations can also result in criminal or civil proceedings. Our attorneys will work closely with our clients to ensure they are aware of any criminal or civil charges that may arise and provide representation in those proceedings as well.

Assistance with Appeals or Post-Hearing Actions, if Necessary

We will carefully review the evidence, the university's policies and procedures, and the outcome of the case to identify any violations of the client's rights or any errors in the university's decision.
If we find grounds for appeal, our attorneys will prepare and submit the necessary documentation to the university, and represent the client during any appeals process. We will use all the evidence and arguments that support our client's innocence to contest the decision and secure the best possible outcome.
