    Special Education Advocacy

    We are a special education law firm dedicated to advocating for the rights of children with disabilities. We believe that every child deserves the same floor of opportunity to achieve and make meaningful educational gains at school. We represent the interests of children and their parents in obtaining a free and appropriate public education under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.

    

    Regional Center Fair Hearings

    We provide legal representation for Regional Center appeals for denial of eligibility. We have experience with 5th category eligibility as a developmental disability. 

     

    Bullying

    Is your child being bullied at school? Let us help. Students have a right to attend school in a safe environment where they have the ability to learn.
