CHANGING THE FORMULA FOR CLIENT REPRESENTATION IN DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND LITIGATION

Experts in New York State and New York City 3020-a Arbitration. We have won more than 40 incompetency and misconduct cases.

Advocatz is a client-centered consulting business for people who need a partner as they go through the Courts, grievances, or life problems. We are experts in labor and employment arbitration, particularly the arbitration or due process hearing for tenured teachers known as 3020-a.

We are paralegals, non-attorney advocates, and Expert witnesses who support all of our clients as they pursue a just and fair resolution through litigation, negotiation, arbitration, and mediation.

Team Advocatz always puts the needs of the client first.
We have a unique strategy wherein we fill the communication gap between representative/lawyer and client by working on a set-fee basis, not an hourly rate, and by giving unlimited time to each client for research and discussion. Our goal is to assure each client that he or she has someone in their corner at all times and that the arguments presented are accurate and comprehensive.
We keep all parties on the same page.
We specialize in 3020-a Arbitration throughout New York State as well as in New York City, and we also assist Attorneys hired to do  Article 75 and 78 appeals, Part 83 Appeals, First Department Appeals, and civil actions in State and Federal Court.
Additionally, for more than 15 years we have represented parents/guardians at Impartial Hearings, where we obtain public funding for non-public and private schools. We also attend IEP meetings, evaluations and conferences as part of our set fee.
