John Morris

Excellent Attorney for Schools and Board of Ed problems. He is walking essence of what a real lawyer is supposed to be. No only did he help me with my issue, but he was able to give me some real life long needed advises.
My issue with my son back them was that, he had a fight outside the school, some other kid jumped on him, and the fight took off outside of the school, a few blocks from the school.
I didn’t have all the details of what had happened, because my teen son back them had the mentality of thinking he could take care of his own problems. Also, when he is very upset, he can not talk or explain what is the problem.
The school found out about of the fight because someone told them. The school did not talk to my son, my son didn’t want to talk about it. Somehow, whoever was in charge of this issue decided that my son needed to be suspended and kicked out of school, and send me a letter to got to a hearing at the NYC BOE headquarters downtown in Brooklyn.
I met with someone in the school and told them my son’s side of what happened. They apologized and say «oh, we didn’t know that»
Therefoer, thanks God for the internet, I was able to get this great lawyer, and once we were there, at the NYC BOE headquaters, we were just told to forget about everything and send my child to school.
All this happened in IS 318. Which is a nice school, one of the best in the area, but like any place, there are some kids that are big trouble makers.
In another occasion, I had to request a meeting with the parents of another classmate who was constantly picking on my son and trying to provoke a fight. The meeting never took place, they moved that child to another class.
