Attorney Yolanda Gallegos brings a unique blend of civil litigation and administrative law experience to the postsecondary education program review and audit forum.  As an attorney, she has represented educational institutions before the U.S. Department of Education (ED), accrediting agencies and state licensing boards.  The central focus of her practice is the representation of private postsecondary institutions, colleges and universities across the nation.

Especially where Title IV funding is at stake, it is critical to consult with an attorney who has the depth and breadth of experience not only to effectively respond to findings after they have been issued, but more importantly to anticipate and resolve potential findings to ensure they are never made through a program audit.   The Gallegos Legal Group handles program review and audits with the intent to exceed client expectations.

The firm also counsels clients on preventative legal strategies to mitigate the possibility of any regulatory issue arising in the first place.  An ED review that uncovers a systemic deviation from Title IV compliance can cost a college or university not only millions of dollars, but its eligibility to participate in the Title IV programs.
