Special Education Lawyers Advocating on Behalf of Kids with Disabilities

Parents of children with disabilities oftentimes have disagreements with their school districts regarding the placement, program or services provided to their kids by the district. Our law firm provides legal representation to parents who believe their kids are not being properly served. We provide a variety of services including legal representation, advocacy at CSE meetings, parent workshops and more.

We have a flexible fee structure. For those who can afford it, we provide services on an hourly basis. For those who can not afford the full cost of legal services, we negotiate a reasonable retainer and cap the fees at an amount that is fair, reasonable, and affordable.

We represent many parents who can not afford to pay at all. Please do not allow your financial circumstances to stop you from contacting us. If we can help your child, we will make every effort to do so. In many instances, fees are recoverable from the school district. This allows us to represent parents who would not otherwise be able to afford our services.

If you think you may be in need of legal representation, please contact us at 716-634-2753 or by email. For the latest significant cases and current developments in special education law, see my blog.
