Stephanie W. Rowland

When our son, an 11 year old with autism and ADHD, was facing expulsion and a Title IX investigation from school over an incident directly tied to his disability, we did not know where to turn. We were terrified, heartbroken, and completely overwhelmed by a system that felt like it was working agains...t our child rather than for him. Finding Stephanie Rowland changed everything. Stephanie did not just know the law. She understood our son. She understood what was at stake for his future, his education, his confidence, and his sense of himself as a good person who made a mistake. Navigating both a Title IX investigation and a Manifestation Determination Review simultaneously felt impossible until Stephanie stepped in. She took on a situation that felt overwhelming and approached it with intelligence, strategy, and genuine compassion we did not expect. She explained every step of both processes in language we could actually understand. She knew exactly which protections applied to our son under IDEA and Title IX and she was not afraid to use them. She moved quickly when time was critical and never once made us feel like we were fighting this alone. Because of Stephanie our son had someone in his corner who knew how to fight for him the right way within a system that felt designed to work against him. We came to Stephanie scared and feeling completely powerless. She gave us our voice back. More importantly she helped protect our son's future when we did not know how to do that ourselves. If your child has a disability and is facing any kind of school disciplinary action, a Title IX investigation, or both, do not wait. Call Stephanie Rowland. She is exactly who you need in your corner.

Ms. Rowland provided invaluable guidance and perspective on a Title IX matter at my child’s high school. She was knowledgeable, experienced, and deeply empathetic, offering the support we needed in what proved to be a very complex and sensitive legal area, especially for victims. She clearly explaine...d our options including options if litigation become necessary. Throughout an incredibly stressful time for my child and our family, Ms. Rowland’s counsel brought clarity and reassurance. I am profoundly grateful for her help and highly recommend her to anyone navigating a similar situation.

I am beyond thankful that I found and worked with Stephanie of SBBL Law. I went through an incredibly difficult school situation involving a Title IX complaint against my son. From the very beginning, I felt scared, overwhelmed, and unsure of where to turn. I consulted with multiple attorneys and ult...imately decided to work with Stephanie and SBBL Law. This was undoubtedly the right choice. From our first conversation, Stephanie was kind, patient, and understanding. She explained every step of the process clearly, advocated fiercely for fairness and accountability, and ensured that my son’s rights were fully protected. What meant the most to me was how much Stephanie cared — not just about the case, but about my son and his child’s well-being. My son struggles with mental illness, and Stephanie handled this perfectly. She was always available, always compassionate, and never made us feel like just another client. Because of Stephanie's hard work, expertise, and dedication, we finally found peace and closure after a very painful experience. I truly will never forget the difference Stephanie made in our lives. If you are facing a difficult school or Title IX situation, I cannot recommend her enough. You will work with an impressive expert who will make you feel supported, protected, and truly cared for every step of the way.

I can’t express enough how thankful I am for Stephanie.

They weren’t just an attorney to me; they were a lifeline when I needed one the most.
