Client Testimonial

KJK guided us through a very difficult time in our lives and provided support that helped beyond the original request. The firm and advocate worked as a team to ensure a proper diagnosis, ETR and IEP. They were coordinated, communicative and confident. Their commitment to results and concern for our son was evident throughout the process.

- Colleague

Testimonial

Susan Stone and Kristina Supler represented our male college freshman against a false Title IX claim of non-consensual sexual intercourse. Current Title IX laws are strongly slanted in the accuser’s favor, and our son was denied due process by the university. This legal team expertly highlighted the accuser’s false accusations, while exposing the university’s many inconsistencies. They were there when we needed them – quick to take our phone calls or respond to our questions and concerns. Without their expert legal advice, our son would have likely been another silent and unfortunate victim of current Title IX university policies. We give Susan and Kristina the highest of recommendations!

Client Testimonial

I was a member of a fraternity at a public university that was kicked off campus for reported hazing. My involvement with the fraternity was unaware of any misdeeds being done, and was shocked when the school charged me with failure to report hazing. That’s when I contacted Susan and Kristina, who were extremely helpful and wonderful to work with. Thanks to them they helped guide me through collecting proof of my innocence, which ended up leading to the result we wanted of no charges against me. I highly recommend their service to anyone who might need it!
