Our Practice
Lyons Law Group, LLC provides a different approach to legal representation. We created the firm with the intention of providing quality legal services and practical, cost-effective solutions.
School law has become a highly specialized practice. We not only know the comprehensive federal and state laws, but the exceptions, the nuances, the implications, and the ramifications the applicable laws have on school districts. Our size lends itself to a personal approach, allowing us to provide clients with independent and objective advice.
