Clifford Cohen is a Title IX sexual misconduct lawyer skilled in assisting respondents in Title IX issues. Title IX is a federal statute that requires your school to investigate claims of sexual violence and sexual harassment against students.

Recently Mr. Cohen reviewed a press release by the US Department of Education pertaining to Education Secretary Betsy DeVos’ recent meeting at Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts, in which she discussed a decision reached by a federal court of appeals to extend Title VII’s protection regarding sexual-orientation employment discrimination to Title IX to include that provision as well. 

Sexual Misconduct can be described as any action that violates the dignity of individuals based on sex or gender that violates federal Title IX regulations, including stalking, sexual exploitation, sexual assault, sexual harassment, sex discrimination and relationship violence. Under Title IX, schools that receive federal funding are legally required to respond and remedy hostile educational environments and failure to do so is a violation that means a school could risk losing its funding. To extend the protection covered under Title VII, sexual-orientation employment discrimination would be protected under Title IX. When you have been charged with sexual misconduct of any kind, a Title IX sexual misconduct lawyer can assist you throughout the process.

Mr. Cohen’s objective as a Title IX sexual misconduct lawyer is to represent you in every phase of the grievance process, investigation, hearings and appeals, by helping you to understand your school’s Title IX grievance process and the federal and state laws that govern it. He will give you a clear understanding of what types of evidentiary information can be used to present and document your case, and help you to gather that evidence and assist you with the documentation. As your Title IX sexual misconduct lawyer he will rebut arguments and claims made by opposing counsel, and present a comprehensive narrative of the facts in your behalf.

Clifford Cohen, Title IX sexual misconduct lawyer, has the experience and skills to helping you present a convincing and thorough narrative at any proceeding. He is adept at interacting with the courts, college administration and Title IX staff. He will coach you on your narrative in order to make sure you anticipate and answer questions confidently, thereby providing a clear presentation of the facts. All necessary documents such as hearing statements, appeals, and other correspondence with your School, College, or University will be drafted.

If you also face a criminal investigation or prosecution, a civil lawsuit or any other domestic violence charges, Mr. Cohen, your Title IX sexual misconduct lawyer, will assist or represent you in those matters as well.
