The best of the best

Goz pulled off the near impossible for me. I'm extremely grateful and I highly recommend her.

Representation for a cheating charge at UTD

I hired the attorney to represent my grandson on a cheating charge and she did a great job giving him solid advice and council. She helped him prepare and was at the hearing to oversee the meeting. My grandson listened to her advice and was exonerated on the charge and is continuing his education. Sh...e must be a great councilor as my hard headed Grandson actual listened to her and said she was great.

Best Lawyer for your Academic Due Process rights

It was a pleasure to work with GOZ. When we made an initial inquiry over the phone, she immediately called us and listened to our concerns. She attentive, kind, compassionate and very professional. With her recommendations, she provided us information to write a grievance against a University Prof...essor, and to fight an Academic misconduct charge made against me for the same incident. Through GOZ’s guidance on how to respond, the academic misconduct charge was dropped. We hired GOZ to fight the Level 1 and Level 2 grade appeal. With her professional strategic strategy, it culminated in a successful outcome. I am so thankful to have found the Odediran Law Firm at the moment I felt so hopeless. There was GOZ looking so confident in her white power suit and I just knew that was the person to represent me in this matter. To this end, I recommend GOZ to represent you in any or all educational matters to defend a student’s due process academic needs.

Professional, Executive

After several years of being at odds with my son’s IEP team and school district, I knew I had to seek legal help. My child was not making progress yet the school kept passing him from grade to grade. I knew deep down that my child was not mastering the goals that the school said he had mastered. A c...hurch friend referred me to the Odediran Law firm because she had met the owner of the law firm at a church event. Anyway, I consulted with the firm and spoke with Ms. Goz. We connected from the first phone call. I could tell that she was definitely who I wanted to represent my son. I think it was an act of God that I found her as she too is a parent of a child with a disability. I don’t know why I did not come across Ms. Goz much sooner, but I am so glad that I did and I have her by my side now! I no longer stress or worry about ARD meetings or the intentions of the school districts. And for parents out there needing help untangling your child’s iep, please save yourselves the headaches and hire Ms. Goz. Blessings- Laura M

Great lawyer!

I highly recommend Goz Odediran. I needed urgent assistance in dealing with a matter involving my daughter's school and she was willing to step in immediately and provide the guidance and advice I needed. She is highly knowledgeable, personable, and clearly passionate about her work in the area of ...education law. Thanks to her advice, my problem was resolved very favorably and in a timely fashion. So grateful she was there when I needed her!

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
