Laura E. Gillis

As parents of a child with special needs, we have always been staunch advocates for our daughter since she entered the public school system at age 3. Once our daughter made it to high school, we knew that we needed professional help from someone who we could trust and count on. With Laura’s lived e...xperience, we felt that she truly understood the hardships that we endured, how far we had come and how important the decisions were for our daughter’s future, well-being and safety. Laura has unique skills and resources that were fundamental in assisting with our case. In meetings with the school and their attorney’s Laura and her staff were always well prepared and presented our position with eloquence, resolve, diligence and professionalism. If for any reason, you feel that you have questions about your child’s education, we strongly recommend meeting Laura for a consultation. Our daughter’s future is so much brighter because of Laura’s dedication to helping children have everything they deserve.

Laura is superb in every way and we very highly recommend her. We had a complicated case with the school and from the very start Laura was there for us. We spoke to 3 other lawyers and Laura hands down was the right choice. She spent her time to tell us what our options were, with specific suggest...ions on professional experts, schools, evaluations and assessments. Laura has an excellent network, knows the special education field very well and was able to get us the correct connections in a timely manner beyond the call of duty. Laura is very personable, caring, easy to talk to and work out a mutual plan of action every step of the way. We had a strong, knowledgeable, effective legal and educational advocate on our side which was huge. Laura got us the outcome we desired and we can't thank her enough. She is exceptional and extremely dedicated to serving children and their families in the very best ways.

The day I first spoke with Laura I knew I had found someone special. She took the time to talk with me and answer all my questions. She was willing to get right to work on my case. Her knowledge of the special education system and government agencies is impressive. She not only understands the system..., but also how to maneuver around it and get things done, in a fast and no nonsense way. It was apparent early on she is well liked and respected by many people in her field. This made it much easier dealing with the town attorneys, the school district, and the private placements. She is quick to respond to any questions via email or phone. Laura is a life saver.
