Peter Andrew Hahn

Peter worked with us over the course of several years as we sought desperately needed out of district placement for our two sons. Peter is extremely knowledgeable and deeply experienced. He has a wonderful sense of justice for kids and knows how to get the results children deserve. Peter is a wonderf...ully effective minimalist. He never clocked in unnecessary hours and always considered his own fees as part of the decision making process at each step. He was open to our contributions as time and cost saving measures. He was able to guide us through complex education law with clear explanations. Because he was always the clear thinking in the room, he was also able to point out where and when the school system was trying to pressure, manipulate, and gaslight us and our children. Not only did he help us place our kids at the schools that ensured their successful transition to college, he also gifted them a sense of justice. School systems can really beat down a kid's sense of confidence. By "winning," Peter helped restore our kids' knowledge that they deserve an appropriate education (like everyone else) and, when they get it, they can thrive. We are forever grateful for Peter's wisdom, legal talents, and his righteous drive to make schools do right by children.

I am very pleased to highly recommend Attorney Peter Hahn. Peter has helped us to work through some difficult issues with my teenage son over the past several years. My son is a good person but he is also impulsive. He tends to act without thinking about the consequences. As a result, he has ...made some serious mistakes. Some of the mistakes have involved the police. Those situations were understandably very stressful for my wife and me. We were overwhelmed, confused, and in desperate need for help. That is when we reached out to Peter for help. Peter immediately responded to our need for help. He listened carefully to our situation and concerns. He was understanding, compassionate, and kind. His experience in helping families to successfully resolve our kind of issues was very reassuring. He explained the laws relevant to our situation, advised us on how best to proceed, and then worked diligently to help us. Throughout our case, Peter was focused and very persistent. At one point, the authorities were not responding to his requests for a decision on a very important matter. Peter responded by leaving them messages every day until they finally did respond. The officer later told me with a smile, “Your lawyer has been really persistent.” Peter was definitely persistent, and it paid off. Our case was dismissed! Without Peter’s experience and dedication, the outcome could have been catastrophic for our son. We will be forever grateful to Peter for helping us to save our son.

We hired Mr. Hahn to help us obtain legally mandated services and support for our special-needs son from a reluctant and evasive school district. Mr. Hahn's thorough understanding of our case and deep knowledge of special-education law enabled him to represent our rights and underscore the district'...s obligations in a way that was non-provocative but highly effective. He got us what we needed without costly mediation or court action. We'd definitely hire Peter again.

Mr. Hahn represented us for a DCF matter. We were well prepared for the process, with expectations for the outcome reasonably set. Not only did Mr. Hahn allow us to best present our case, he masterfully exposed the flaws of the DCF position. Clearly, he is an experienced and skillful attorney. Th...e result was in our favor with a DCF reversal of their position. Mr. Hahn was highly professional, efficient and no nonsense, yet pleasant and easy to work with. We could not be more pleased with our experience and would highly recommend him.
