Ongoing Counsel — Monthly

I offer this service. Some clients keep me engaged for a semester or a year — insurance for the investment you have already made in the degree. I stay familiar with your situation, interpret documents as they arrive, handle the administrative technicalities behind the scenes, and answer questions as they come up, with advocacy where something needs to be said. It suits students with disabilities who receive accommodations especially well, and anyone who would rather have a lawyer quietly reading everything before they sign or reply.

The monthly arrangement is set to the situation, in writing. Where it lands depends on the situation, the school, and whether the school knows I am involved or I stay behind the scenes — there is no one-size figure, because a first-year undergraduate who wants documents read is not a professional-program student mid-remediation with accommodations in play. We scope it in the engagement agreement before it starts, like everything else I do.

What a month actually looks like

Documents come in — a syllabus change, a professionalism note, an email from the disability office, a form that asks for a signature — and I read them before you respond. Questions get answered as they come up rather than saved for a crisis. Where something needs to be said to the school, we decide together whether it comes from you with my preparation behind it, or whether the matter has grown into representation & advocacy. The point of the arrangement is that nothing is signed, sent, or ignored without a lawyer having read it first.
