Miltenberg will work closely with Ms. Davis in heading up the Boston office, with a special focus on representing students accused of sexual misconduct on campus.
"Our team has a proven track record of advocating for the due process rights of students accused of sexual misconduct, many of whom have been severely mistreated by colleges and universities in high-profile cases across the country," said Miltenberg, who has represented more than 100 students at higher education institutions in 30 states. "With the opening of our Boston office, we're expanding our resources to serve more students and families who are facing the life-altering consequences of mishandled Title IX investigations on college campuses."
