Heather Jean Gold

I've kept Heather Gold on retainer for over a decade so I could reach out to her whenever I needed an expert's advice, even though I'm a lawyer myself. She has such broad experience in Massachusetts special ed law that she knows what position is likely to be a winner at the BSEA and what will likely... lose. I found it's better to keep my special ed lawyer behind the scenes so that I could maintain a cordial, lower-key relationship with my school district. I would provide Heather Gold with all of my son's IEP paperwork and get her advice about what I could ask for and how to ask for it. Then I would do the talking and negotiating with the school district myself to keep things from getting escalated unproductively. I got exactly what I wanted with her counsel. I'd highly recommend Heather Gold for both ongoing advice and representation in an appeal.
