Alec was exceptionally willing to make time for phone, email, and text conversations. His counsel was always thoughtful and specific. He understood university dynamics and the particular sensitivities of academics in my field. He retained information I gave him - and this is challenging, when the information is complex. He was caring and even willing to have an off-line conversation about recent related events in the news. I give Alex my highest unqualified recommendation.
As a parent of an accused child, I felt hopeless and I didn't know where to turn to make sure my child was being treated fair. Although I still don't believe that the accused are treated fairly, I was beyond grateful to have had Alec on our side. He was compassionate and he never made my child or our family feel that we were alone on this nightmare of a journey. Alec was so patient and kind and helped our family get through a rough time that unfortunately too many families get bullied by their school/university or other institution into thinking they don't have any rights. Alec will and did change our view on that so THANK YOU ALEC.

UCSD Final Exam Academic Integrity Case
I hired Alec as my attorney at the onset of my case. The school was being very harsh and my professor was accusing me of cheating on a final exam which would have stopped me from graduating. Alec was sincere, calm and listened to the truth about what happened and walked me through the steps the school will pursue and that we should pursue. After that, we met weekly throughout the process and when the time came he trained me on how to answer questions and how to give my narrative. When the time for the hearing came, UCSD DID NOT ALLOW him to be present which was very unfair and does not represent a just system. However, Alec's help in the weeks leading up helped me to remain calm and tell my side of the events and helped me to win the case. I am now graduating this year as I should be because of Alec. He knows the ins and outs of the University of California school system and will help you to have the best chance in your case.

Hire Alec Rose! Your search is over!
In 2019 I was served with a lawsuit and was nervous and afraid as to what the future may hold. I have a prior conviction and was unsure as to what effect that may have on the potential lawsuit that I was facing. So my wife and I went to Avvo.com to search for a qualified attorney to help us navigate this legal situation. After contacting a few attorneys, we were fortunate enough to find Alec Rose. With his incredibly poised demeanor and calming confidence, he quickly calmed our initial anxiety on our first telephone conversation! After a year of litigation, Alec Rose was able to get my lawsuit dismissed with prejudice. Alec Rose is an excellent attorney that you can hire with confidence and trust that he can get the job done. I highly recommend Alec Rose to be your attorney.

Knows his stuff
We spoke with Alec in reference to our son getting suspended and potentially expelled. He knew his stuff and explained the procedures. He was also fairly cost-effective, compared to some of the other lawyers that specialize in this type of work. In the end our criminal lawyer was able to handle the first round of this situation, but we wouldn't hesitate to work with Alec if needed.

Review for Mr. Rose regarding a Title IX Investigation
Mr. Rose has served as my advisor during a Title IX investigation. I consulted several attorneys in and outside the Los Angeles County area, and found Mr. Rose to be the best attorney to advise me during the investigation.
There are a few reasons that made me choose Mr. Rose over other attorneys specializing in similar matters. The first reason is amount of comfort I derived just through my initial consultation with him. Mr. Rose has an extremely reassuring demeanor that has a calming effect on whoever he speaks with. His knowledge on matters regarding Title IX investigations is second to none. He has advised clients in most major colleges in California, and several across the country, and has professional relationships with a lot of the people who handle such matters at various colleges. His advice and instructions are clear and easy to follow. Having advised numerous clients involved in such sensitive matters, he is exceptionally caring and sympathetic towards his clients and understands what it feels like to be involved in such a stressful process. I have found him to always be reachable on text and email, and never have I been made to wait for his response on important matters whenever I have contacted him.
My case involved a lot of information – much more than the typical Title IX investigation. However, Mr. Rose always seemed to remember the details of the case - and provided specific advice regarding the finer details of the case that made it seem as though he working exclusively on it.
Having met with a number of different individual attorneys and law firms, I had a fair idea of what an attorney charged in such a matter. Not only did Mr. Rose price his services in an exceptionally fair manner – the total cost working with Mr. Rose for the course of the investigation was a fraction of what was quoted by other firms/individuals (just 5% of the price quoted by one in particular).
Ultimately, in my case, the investigation was resolved in the best possible manner – something that I wasn’t very confident about achieving going into the investigation.
Not only is Mr. Rose the best attorney in my opinion for cases regarding Title IX, I found him to be a great person and a true professional as well and would definitely contact him in case I need any assistance in the future.
I highly recommend Mr. Rose without any reservation. I would strongly encourage potential clients to give him a call for an initial consultation – it’ll be worth your time I promise.

Client Review for Mr. Alec Rose
Our son has been falsely accused of the sexual assault under Title IX Policy at his University. We were so fortunate that we got in touch with Alec Rose and asked him to guide our son though this horrible ordeal. We are extremely great full to Alec for everything he has done for us! Our son was found NOT RESPONSIBLE for ALL charged policy violations. THANK YOU ALEC!
What Alec did was amazing. Our entire family was devastated by the charges, lost, confused and did not know what to do. Alec guided our son on how to pull himself together, on how to face the accusations and to prove that these accusations are false. Alec’s attitude and professionalism is stunning!
With his extensive experience in both criminal law and Title IX cases, Alec defines the strategy that works best for the unique situation. Alec is an extremely diligent lawyer. He pays attention to details and remembers them. He masters the art of providing proof for both the criminal and the administrative law cases, and recognizes the similarities and differences of what it takes to succeed in both. He always operates with facts and knows what’s important. He is well known and respected in the Title IX law community. He projects the sense of confidence and protection but also gives you an honest feedback and assessment of the situation.
Alec is very approachable. He always responds to emails, texts, and phone calls. He finds time that works for him and his client (including weekends and evenings!) to address the issue or question in a timely manner. He is very detailed and diligent in answering questions.
Alec has been very supportive, patient and understanding. He worked closely with our son to prepare him for all interactions with the Title IX office. He welcomed all input and feedback from the parents as well. He had a great sense of when it would be better to have a one on one session with our son and when it would be better to have a three way conversation that includes the parent(s).
As parents of a falsely accused child, we had to make a tough decision to trust Alec and depend on him to defend and protect our son in this potentially life-changing situation. We are so glad we made the right choice! If you find yourself in a situation when you feel hopeless and don’t even know where to start working through the legal system, I highly recommend you turn to Alec for help. THANK YOU ALEC!

Nothing but the Best
Alec Rose is a phenomenal worker. He works effectively and treats all of his clients with the utmost respect and understanding. I have no complaint. He stood with me every step of the way, and has continued to stay in touch with me until this day. 5 out of 5 stars seems like a mere limitation when describing Mr. Rose's efficiency and discipline. Mr. Rose gets to know his clients on a personal level and moves to business from there on; of course he remains a friend through the process and afterwards as well. He replies to emails, calls, and text messages in a timely manner, a trait that is hard to come by in most people working in the professional world. I only have words of praise for Alec Rose.

Excellent advisor
Alec was a perfect choice for my situation. I was confronted with what I felt was a legally spurious charge that had enormous implications for my job, up to and including termination. So I was extremely fraught and interviewed many possible advisors before settling on Alec. He was very rational, calm, and supportive throughout. He had an exceptional framework for approaching interviews and responding to questions, and I felt that he had a crystal ball and was able to anticipate things (including some "gotcha" tactics) that are commonly employed by interviewers. I felt extremely prepared and he was always imminently reachable. I can't recommend him highly enough. Stop reading and just give him a call.

Excellent Title IX Advisor
Our son was accused of sexual violence in a Title IX case at his university. Fortunately, we hired Mr. Alec Rose to assist him and we are truly blessed that we did. He was an excellent advisor. He was patient, a wonderful communicator and navigated my son through the entire process. No violations were found and my son has been able to continue his studies. It was a painful and difficult time for my son and our family but Alec was there for every phone call, helped him prepare and review his statements for an interview with the university's investigator and was present as his advisor. He is a true and ethical professional. Thank you Alec.

Title IX Advisory
Hiring Alec was probably one of the most consequential decisions I ever made in my life. Title IX investigations are tricky to navigate, and when my case began I was both confused and panicked. I called Alec and left a voicemail, and within an hour he called me back, listened to my situation, and set up an appointment for the next morning. He was compassionate, and the fact that he cared about having a just outcome was important to me. Alec guided me through every single detail of the Title IX process, from how to explain my account and choice of witnesses up to how precisely to word my emails with the Title IX office. I think it's safe to say that Alec saved my career while I was going through a very dark time in my life, and I would recommend him without question to anyone involved in a Title IX investigation. Alec's deep knowledge of the investigation process is helpful in these cases, but even more than that, he has a wealth of experience and knows exactly how the investigators think about the process. In particular, if you are going through a Title IX investigation in California, you should contact Alec because of his experience with the universities in the state.

Helped me make a difficult decision, would highly recommend him
I hired Attorney Alec Rose to advise me about how to handle a very difficult question about how to handle a situation in my professional life. He patiently explained all of the relevant legal issues involved and the pro's and con's of each possible choice. I am confident that I made the right choice because Mr. Rose helped me understand the complicated legal issues involved. Not only did he help me solve my issue, he helped me feel comfortable that my decision was made with a full understanding of all of the legal issues and that helped put my mind at ease and helped me stop worrying. I don't think I have ever spoken to another lawyer who has as much knowledge of the ins and outs of the law as Mr. Rose. Of course, having a ton of knowledge doesn't help unless the person can explain it an understandable way, and he is uniquely able to make complicate issues seem much less complicated. I will always be grateful to him for helping me through a very difficult situation. I highly recommend his services as a legal advisor.

Compassionate and Trustworthy
I hired Alec when I was wrongfully accused to sexual misconduct by a student at a university. Although I had never been down this road before, Alec was knowledgeable, compassionate, and most importantly, he believed in me. I hope to never experience anything like this again in my future, but if that sad day came, I know who I would ask to represent me. Alec truly is the best.

MD and Professor defender
I'm a MD in a renowned academic institution/hospital in California, where sexual harassment, title IX cases are running rampant. I was falsely accused. Because of bad press and the political climate, the universities are facing pressure to investigate vigorously and punish harshly. The accused usually find themselves in very disadvantaged legal positions- facing a lower level "preponderance of the evidence" for conviction in cases that if ends badly can lead to high stakes career impacting consequences. Alec is very experienced in these cases. No matter how ugly and complex the accusations are, trust Alec to guide you through it for a good/fair outcome, as he did in my case.

The best attorney you can hire
I really dont know where to begin I had hired supposedly a world reknowned attorney who I will not mention to handle this same case.Anyway I fired him and talked to many other attornies some who wouldnt even take the case some who said I souldnt even fight . All of them said I would probably lose my kids. Mr Rose Took my case with a three week deadline Hired experts a great detective and built a case that was well I can not put it into words. He never stopped believing in me, Even when things looked insurmountable he found the truth. He fought against three Attornies a police force that said I was a very terrible person. He suffered their ridicule and derogetory comments. He fought with honesty and dignity, He gave me a reason to believe If you need to hire an attorney for any reason you can do no wrong with Mr Rose. Again I cant put into words what Alec did for me. In every aspect of his work he is an ultimate professional, Honest and hard working but most of all he fights for his clients like he is fighting for his own family.. He is worth every dollar you give him times two. Even if he hadn't won my case I would be indebted to him for the rest of my life. Do yourself a favor I'm sure there are a couple of other very good attornies on this site but you will find none better than Alec Rose. I give Mr. Rose my permission to give my personal phone number to anyone that would like a recomendation

Could not have asked for anyone better
I was accused for sexual assault in a business setting, and was charged with 10 counts. The city attorney decided to charge me wrongfully based on one person's statement. Alec stood by my side throughout the process. We ended up going to trial. The judge dismissed 5 counts, and jury returned a verdict of not guilty in 30 mins or so for rest of the counts. I could not have asked for anyone better. Alec loves what he does, and will stand by your side throughout the process.
