We are a New York–based practice dedicated exclusively to special education litigation. Our work centers on enforcing school districts’ legal obligations through disciplined case strategy, rigorous preparation, and strategic advocacy in high-stakes IDEA matters.
We identify substantive and procedural Individualized Education Program (IEP) failures, including inappropriate placements, missing services, unsupported goals, and lack of progress, and move to enforce compliance or challenge the IEP through litigation.
We address failures to assess and respond to significant behaviors, including the absence of Functional Behavioral Assessments (FBAs), ineffective Behavior Intervention Plans (BIPs), and programs that do not adjust despite clear lack of progress.
We obtain and strategically deploy independent evaluations— educational, psychological, Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), Occupational Therapy (OT), Physical Therapy (PT), and Speech Therapy—to establish true student needs and expose gaps in district assessments.
We litigate high-stakes IDEA cases from filing through decision with disciplined preparation, expert testimony, and focused legal advocacy to establish denial of FAPE and appropriate relief.
We pursue meaningful compensatory education, including ABA, Special Education Itinerant Teachers,, various therapies, and extended school year services, all tailored to remedy educational loss.
We ensure court ordered services are funded, implemented, and delivered, pursuing enforcement when districts fail to comply.
