Philosophy

We chose this area of the law because we believe that one should do their best to assist people who need help the most.  There are many more lucrative areas of the law, but few as satisfying.

 We believe in:

• Providing the best possible legal support so that your child can benefit from his/her education; as parents and attorneys we know how important support is for a family when their child faces educational challenges and barriers.
• Solving problems as expeditiously as possible and in a way that minimizes family cost.  In our practices, we have settled approximately 95% of our disputes without having to go to a formal hearing or court.
• Recognizing that government agencies are not the enemy; these agencies are given enormous responsibilities, without adequate public resources. 
• Helping all parties to work together and use quality psychological, medical and educational evaluations to find the right special education program and services for the student.
• Providing professional, thorough and sensitive representation.
• Insuring that clients have their phone calls or emails returned promptly and are treated with courtesy and sensitivity.
• Helping parents develop the knowledge and skills to advocate for their disabled child without the high cost of legal fees.
