Special education and general education law are growing areas of need that oftentimes require experienced legal assistance. Helping you understand your child's rights under federal and state laws, as well as relevant case law is of the utmost importance to us. Our goal is to engage school districts and regional centers through discussions and, when necessary, through the legal forum, to achieve successful results while maintaining the highest standards of legal practice.
Parents of children with cognitive and physical disabilities often find themselves battling with the public school system, regional centers and other entities just to receive basic rights. All students are entitled to a free appropriate public education under IDEA and other federal laws, as well as under state law. Additionally, under the Lanterman Act, individuals with developmental disabilities have the right to services and supports directed toward the achievement of the most independent and normal lives possible.
Our firm has extensive experience with the IEP process, mediation, negotiation and due process litigation on behalf of families with nearly all school districts in the Bay Area, and has built a reputation for integrity and veracity within the educational community.
Allow our special education attorneys to assist you in developing a successful relationship between yourself, your child and school administrators. Please call for a thirty minute complimentary consultation to assess your matter and to discuss how we can be of service.
