Ghanouni Teen & Young Adult Defense Firm

We hired Paul represent my nephew during a Cherokee County school disciplinary tribunal that was initially set to result in a 360-day suspension. Thanks to his expertise and thoughtful advocacy, what could have been a devastating outcome was transformed into a waiver of the tribunal, a suspension only for the remainder of the school year, and a full return to in-person learning at the start of the next school year. Paul went far beyond legal defense. He focused on what truly mattered: our child's education and long-term well-being. He worked to integrate IDEA and IEP evaluations and supports into the resolution, ensuring that the outcome wasn't just about avoiding punishment, but about addressing the underlying needs that led us here. He helped us reframe what a "win" really looks like, shifting our perspective from litigation and reparations to meaningful mitigation, growth, and support. Paul is a rare combination of brilliant strategist and compassionate advocate. He truly cares about children and families, and his ability to see the whole picture made all the difference for us. We're deeply grateful for his dedication and highly recommend him to any parent or family member with a child facing a similar situation.

I had the opportunity to speak with Mr. Paula Ghanouni regarding a tribunal hearing, and I was very impressed. He was knowledgeable, considerate, and respectful of both my time and resources. What stood out most was his honesty--he was willing to provide me with the truth, even if it meant not being retained or paid. That level of integrity is rare. If you are in need of an attorney for your child, I would highly recommend Mr. Ghanouni and his team.

Paul and his team are amazing! I cannot recommend them enough. Communication was top notch! True professionals in every way! If you are wondering if you should hire this team, do not hesitate!! They will do everything they can to get the best possible outcome for your situation. Thank you Paul and Courtney!!

Paul and his team are simply the best at what they do! They have an incredibly thoughtful approach for their clients matched with a forward thinking legal strategy and execution. I have hired Paul's team for family before, and as a concerned family member, I felt that I had placed my family in the best of hands; nothing can beat knowing that in your heart. And the favorable result that was gained for my family proved that I had made the best decision by turning to this firm.

Our case was handled by Paul and Jess even better than we could have hoped! This is a team of true experts who patiently and thoroughly guided us through every step of this scary journey. While we hope to never need them again, they will be our only choice... and our heartfelt recommendation to others!
