Diane
and Lana are both parents of children with special needs. They understand
both the joy and the heartache that comes with the gift of these special
children.
As lawyers, they
have the unique opportunity to help your child in ways that truly make
a difference over the child's entire life. Diane and Lana view their work
as a valued investment in your child's future. Their work immediately
impacts your child's education and can help direct a child's educational
program throughout the child's entire educational experience.
Diane and Lana share
a simple philosophy, “The child is the client.” They remain
focused on the child’s needs and legal entitlements. Diane and Lana
use their backgrounds in both education law and special needs parenting
to solve your child’s education issues.
While Diane and Lana
have specialized in the law for children with special needs, they have
recently expanded their practices to effectively represent all children
with education issues. They can provide help with any child’s education
issues, including discipline hearings for suspension and/or expulsion.
Education law is
complex and constantly evolving. As a parent, it is difficult to understand
this ever-changing area of law, let alone apply it to your child's unique
situation. Diane and Lana can assist you by working with you and/or your
School District or Education Service District in many ways, including:
- guiding parents
through the special education process;
- providing legal advice or support "in the background";
- assisting with eligibility determination for special education services;
- appropriateness of placement;
- appropriateness of specially designed instruction;
- § 504 plans;
- proper disciplinary process for regular and special education students;
and
- navigating any other educational issue.
