Highly Recommend

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.

Excellent Educational Attorney

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.

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.
