"He didn't just win my case. He gave me back my future, my peace of mind, and my ability to breathe again."
From the very first conversation, he changed everything. He didn't just see a case, he saw me, and treated me like family. His knowledge of the law was unmatched, but what truly set him apart was his humanity. If you are looking for a lawyer, stop searching right now.
Yes, a school district can file a PINS petition in New York, usually over habitual truancy. But it can't go straight to Family Court. The case has to go through the county's diversion program first, which in Suffolk County runs through Probation, and the school has to show what it already tried. I've guided Suffolk County families through PINS cases for 40 years. Don't wait for the court date to get answers.
Contact Steven Zalewski, Esq. for guidance.
