When a student faces a Title IX investigation in Georgia, the stakes are high. Allegations of sexual misconduct, harassment, or dating violence on campus can result in suspension, expulsion, loss of scholarships, and damage to future opportunities. For student-athletes, eligibility and NIL contracts may also be at risk. Navigating this process requires more than just legal knowledge — it requires guidance of an experienced Georgia Title IX lawyer who understands how Georgia universities actually handle these cases.
Megan Ballard Mitchell has that experience. As the founding attorney of The Law Office of M. Ballard Mitchell, she provides strategic Title IX defense for students and families across Georgia.
Ms. Mitchell brings a unique background to every case. She served for years as an attorney advisor with the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR), where she reviewed how colleges and universities nationwide conduct Title IX investigations. She also worked as a criminal defense attorney, giving her the ability to build strong, persuasive case strategies.
This combination means she understands not only how to develop a defense but also how to approach university officials in a way that gets results. Many attorneys treat Title IX cases like courtroom trials, but that approach often harms students. Ms. Mitchell focuses instead on working within each university’s policies to protect her clients’ rights and futures.
Every university has its own procedures, policies, and decision-makers. Ms. Mitchell has handled many cases involving Emory University, Georgia Tech, and the University of Georgia (UGA). This familiarity allows her to anticipate how administrators approach Title IX cases and to design strategies that align with each school’s process.
