She is the one to use for Education needs

Rebecca was referred to me and happy we found her. She accepted our request quickly and knew all about the education system and our rights. Rebecca gave me a lot of information before we agreed to hire her. She was able to settle our case and even helped us with additional needs after. I will use ...her again if the need arises.

5 Star Education Attorney

I have referred cases to Ms. Sassouni as co-counsel to my law practice. She is highly proficient, compassionate, and diligent. Ms. Sassouni is a huge resource to the legal community and to all the fortunate students that she represents in her Education law practice. including Bullying issues, Residen...cy Appeals and Probation and Disciplinary Matters.

Rebecca is a true professional who listens and understands all aspects of the situation before providing legal counsel. She is very knowledgeable and acts in the best interest of the individual. I would strongly recommend her.

Avvo Rating

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.
