I went to law school in the 1970s because I wanted to change the world. I was fortunate to be able to work in public interest law for 25 years, working in legal aid programs in Nebraska, West Virginia, Worcester and Fitchburg. I ended my public interest career at the Disability Law Center where I discovered a deep and abiding interest in special education and a love for the families of children with disabilities that I represented. I left DLC in 2002 to concentrate on the representation of children with disabilities. Over the years, my life has been enriched by the families that I have met. I work hard to repay what I have learned over the years to the community of parents and individuals with disabilities.

Tim did a great job for my family, representing us very well. He never over promised, and his advice was clearly based on a lot of personal experience in the area where our family needed help.

This guy ruined my childhood and ruined my family even more. He is in it just for the money. He was not compassionate towards me or my family, he was very rude and condescending. I tryed to call him 9-10 times within a week and i got no response. I had to wait another two weeks to get a response. He ...
