If you are a high school or collegiate coach or administrator and you are a target, subject, person of interest or witness in an enforcement or infractions matter, you should immediately consider securing experienced legal representation. Too many times, coaches or administrators engage in the infractions process without their own legal representation and regret having done so. If you are a target, subject, or person of interest to a potential enforcement or infractions action,even as a witness, you should consider contacting Athlete Defender immediately. Depending on the institution and the circumstances, your employer may agree to pay all or a portion of your legal fees.
