I represent public school and university students in all aspects of education law, guiding families through eligibility determinations, IEP development and placement decisions, and ensuring access to appropriate services and accommodations under IDEA, Section 504, and the ADA. My practice includes handling disputes over evaluations, program implementation, discipline, and transition planning, as well as pursuing compensatory education and reimbursement where a student has been denied a free appropriate public education, FAPE. I advocate in negotiations, mediation, and due process hearings, with a focus on resolving matters efficiently while preserving my clients’ rights and educational outcomes.
