Caring, hard working, intelligent, highly recommended

I reached out to Amelia because I was falsely accused of sexual assault at my university. I was afraid that my future was ruined and in the worst condition of my life, but Amelia guided me through the Title IX process. It was clear from the start that she takes her work seriously. She always responde...d quickly to calls and emails, explained the process in a manner that was easy to understand, and gave me the confidence that I needed. Amelia really cared about helping me. She was really good at identifying inconsistencies in the other side's story and identifying facts to highlight in the hearing. Thanks to Amelia, I got the best results possible in the case and can move on with my life. Great lawyer!!

Saved my life

After being falsely accused of sexual assault at my university, I thought my life was over. Despite my financial constraints, Amelia Lahn supported me throughout the grueling year-long Title IX case. Throughout the process, she was kind, sharp, and understanding. She was proactive in advocating on m...y behalf to the university as I faced a biased university system and harassment and retaliation from students at my university. Thanks to Amelia Lahn I got favorable results from my Title IX case and can move on with my life.

Amelia Lahn

Amelia was the "hands on" person at hearings and during prep for a difficult Title IX proceeding. What a tireless and thorough and helpful attorney she was to have working on our behalf as we navigated this process. She was also a joy to deal with. I would recommend her very highly!

She knows Indiana University

I am extremely grateful for Amelia Lahn. I was facing some hurdles at Indiana University with Disability Student Services, all the paperwork had been filed years earlier, I had records, communication (emails), and the office said "your basically screwed." I could find no help through the multiple off...ices at the University, and although sympathetic, nobody could give me a straight answer. I was feeling extremely frustrated and anxious. Amelia Lahn was recommended to me because of her experience working at Indiana University before going into private practice. Once I got her on board, filled her in, sent her all my records, her intervening was a game changer. I got answers and approval from the right people and a response from the Dean. For me, hiring Amelia Lahn was essential for continuing my studies at IU. I do not know what would have happened if she had not intervened on my behalf. INdiana University is fraught with confusing bureaucracy and she knows the inner workings of this. I cannot recommend her enough based on my experience.

Tremendous Help For Our Son

We highly recommend Amelia Lahn. When our son was wrongly charged with a Title IX offense at I.U., Amelia worked with him (and us) to navigate the tremendously scary I.U. administrative judicial process and ultimately got him cleared of all charges. As parents living out of state at a distance we fou...nd Amelia very easy to communicate with, and extremely knowledgeable and skilled in preparing our son and working the I.U. processes to get him cleared. Importantly Amelia was very warm and supportive throughout the entire ordeal, and as a family who have never experienced any charges, proceedings, processes like this she was a tremendous help to all of us as we all went through a hugely distressing time in our lives.
