A JOB WELL DONE!!

Kate was an amazing asset in our case and was always available to discuss concerns, provide us with resources and direction. She was always prepared in meetings with our school system’s attorneys, understood the difficulties we faced as a family and never lost sight of the importance of our daughter...'s future. If for any reason, you feel that you have questions about your child’s education, we strongly recommend calling for a consultation.

Kate did an impeccable job on our special education case - highly recommend!

We hired Attorney Kate Welby to work on a special education case that had not been resolved to our satisfaction. At the time, our child was going through crisis and we had a small window of opportunity to secure a better placement for her. During our initial intake, Kate immediately appreciated the ...time critical nature of our situation and developed a formidable case very quickly. She did a great job of synthesizing the information we had given her and using every detail to maximum legal advantage - whether it be in writing or when negotiating with the opposing attorney. Kate was also a pleasure to work with and was always candid, pleasant, prompt in returning messages, and mindful that we were on a budget. What we admired most about Kate though were her impeccable legal instincts and her strong command of special education law. There is perhaps no greater testament to Kate's abilities and effectiveness than the stunning speed with which our case was resolved - it was basically over as soon as it started. Thanks to Kate's efforts, our child is now on a better path and enjoying her new placement, instead of continuing to spiral downward. We are very grateful to have found Kate during this pivotal time and couldn't possibly recommend her highly enough. If you are in a challenging situation and need help advocating for your special needs child, you owe it to yourself to give Kate a call. She is worth every penny!
