Every child classified with a disability is entitled to an educational setting that is appropriate to meet their individualized needs. If your child is classified or you suspect they have a disability which entitles them to specialized instruction, then an evaluation may be the appropriate next step. 

As a special education attorney, I will fight for your right to appropriate services in the public school or private school setting. I support parents in finding their own voice for self-empowerment and navigating the complexity of the school system. I assist families in advocating on their child's behalf to find the most appropriate supports and services that will meet their child's needs. I believe in a collaboration, to the extent possible, and in situations that will engage the public school system in working with families to serve a common interest.

I am available to meet with groups of parents or professional organizations to discuss the IEP process, rights and responsibilities of schools districts, and best practices to ensure proactive support for students who are struggling and may need special education supports and services.


I am available to meet with parents to review their rights and discuss the most common evaluation and recommendation processes. We will cover the topic of academic support through at-risk services. We will also explore pathways to ensure the protection of civil rights for families who have encountered roadblocks or who are considering a private school placement.

I work with attorneys and consult with school districts who need an expert opinion on special education evaluation and placement matters, whether it is to avoid a lawsuit, or assist a parent attorney in a pending lawsuit or administrative proceeding. I will work to achieve what is right, fair and in the child's best interests, with the goal of finding a win-win solution. 

I strive to stay up-to-date in my understanding of the issues that most engage the field of school psychology, and maintain a current membership with the National Association of School Psychologists (NASP).
