Chigozie Frances Odediran

Working with Attorney Goz Odediran was an absolute blessing for our family. She guided us through my son’s school complaint and appeal with a level of dedication and expertise that’s hard to find. Her knowledge of school law is rock-solid, and she approached our case with the same care and urgency as... if it were her own child. She advocated fiercely for us, kept us informed every step of the way, and was consistently professional, timely, and incredibly responsive. What stood out most was her empathy—she truly listened, understood our concerns, and made us feel supported throughout the entire process. If you are looking for someone who will genuinely fight for you, communicate clearly, and bring deep expertise to the table, I wholeheartedly recommend Odediran Law Firm. She made a very difficult situation easier to navigate, and we are so grateful for her.

Goz Odediran is the lawyer you want on your team if you are a student facing a university disciplinary proceeding. Goz is a skilled negotiator with deep knowledge of the internal disciplinary processes of different universities. They are not like court proceedings. Most lawyers are not familiar with ...university disciplinary proceedings. Many lawyers are ineffective in assisting students and may even make the situation worse. Goz helped our family successfully appeal the dismissal (expulsion) of our son from medical school in the final year of his MD/PhD program. I only wish we had called Goz as soon as the school requested a “meeting” with him. We learned the hard way that universities are expelling students for minor offenses. Do not wait… call Goz right away if you are a student accused of any type of infraction. Do not respond to any school communications yourself – let Goz do the talking. She is excellent.

II highly recommend Goz Odediran as an education rights attorney. She was referred to us, and we hired her to help us with an extremely difficult situation for our family. My daughter was facing expulsion with no evidence except the word of 2 other students. We didn’t have much time to gather eviden...ce, but we had enough. She helped to prepare our daughter and she answered all our questions very quickly and efficiently. We did not originally win our case, not due to lack of evidence, the school hearing was a complete joke and they did not listen to our case. They put an 80 yo woman as the moderator and she wasn’t listening, and I’m convinced she was told to side with the school. However, something happened after the 504, and Goz called right away and said our case was overturned! The school knew they were in the wrong! Goz is kind and compassionate and will do anything in her power to get you the best outcome. She follows up and has stayed in touch with us.

Our family had the pleasure to work with Goz Odediran with a K-12 level appeal matter. We had little or no previous experience or knowledge of education attorneys and our association with Goz was a result of a last minute, desperation Google search. Although we wish we would have contacted Goz earl...ier in the legal process, we are so thankful we did. Goz quickly and efficiently got up to speed with the legal aspects of our education issue and was able to guide our child to a successful appeal resolution, through her expertise of the relevant legal codes; providing wise counsel in regard to how we presented ourselves and our case; and being a strong voice and advocate for our child. She took control of the appeal hearing, but in a manner that gave and commanded respect. Our appeal issue was resolved very quickly with Goz driving the process. That being said, what set Goz apart in our experience was the connection she was able to make with our family. Right off the bat, starting from our initial consultation, we knew Goz was the right person for us to work with. She took the time to get to know us and our child and to hear us and our concerns. She showed great patience to hear us out, demonstrated empathy and gave us a great deal of emotional support and encouragement from start to finish. The longer we were associated with Goz we got the sense that education law is more than a job to her, but a calling. She cares deeply about the mission and her clients. We are proud to recommend Goz Odediran as a highly skilled education attorney and a wonderful person that can be trusted and counted upon.

There's so many great things I could say about Goz, I don't even know where to start. We came to her with a complicated issue and she remained level-headed through all of it. She studied our case, researched it, and gave it very thoughtful consideration. She asked very thought out questions and we co...uld tell that she really grasped the root of the situation. She was the BEST communicator and we knew she would personally get back to us with answers anytime we were unsure of something. We would definitely recommend Goz Odediran if you're facing an injustice with your child's school.
