Welcome to the Office of the General Counsel at Florida Atlantic University

The Office of the General Counsel at Florida Atlantic University provides legal advice and services to the University's agents, officers, employees, and related organizations on University matters.
Please contact this Office if you have any legal concerns or questions relating to the University. Please go to the list of Practice Areas on this website to determine which attorney can best assist you, or you may e-mail us at generalcounsel@rjval.com.
