As a special education attorney, I help improve the communication between parents and schools so that they can work together as a team to develop appropriate special education programming for the child.
A Due Process Hearing is hearing before an administrative law judge to resolve a dispute between the family of a disabled student and the school district.
You have a right to be represented at a due process hearing. Navigating through the public education system can be difficult and frustrating. Strong representation on the outset will present your child’s needs in a straight forward, informed way that will markedly increase the opportunity for a successful outcome that will most benefit your child’s education future.

WE UNDERSTAND Families have enough battles to overcome in everyday life living with special needs children. We know. Many of our staff members are parents of special needs children and have gone through the difficult educational and emotional processes you are experiencing.
