Our Philosophy
Each case we handle is about a child.
Every case is about special education law.
If you, the parent or guardian, are not prepared to demand the appropriate education for your child and stay the course, if necessary, for required legal remedies, then we do not want you as our client and you do not want us as your counsel. A child's parents and the law firm representing them must persevere and insist that the child gets what is appropriate from the child's school district. We will do our part. We need you to do yours.
We encourage the free flow of communication. The best way to work effectively with a school district or Special Education Local Plan Area (SELPA) is to maintain a constant and affirmative interaction. We strive to keep you informed, even when no decisions by you, our client, are required. We try to be available throughout the day either on the telephone or by email. If no one is available when you call, we will return the call promptly when we are able.
We use email extensively for communicating thoughts and ideas, as well as transmitting documents for your review or comment. You are encouraged to make extensive use of it to stay in touch, to ask questions or to make suggestions.
Our charges to our clients are intentionally set to allow most children to be continuously and effectively represented by a dedicated and focused law firm.
