Timothy Sindelar

Being the parent of a special needs child, and an attorney, at first I didn't think I would need legal representation to help us get what our child needed. I was wrong. I began researching attorneys and several advocates we had spoken with all recommended we call Tim. After one call I knew we had... found the person who could help us navigate the complex waters of SPED law. His knowledge of this area of law is second to none. He wears his passion for his work and compassion for his clients on his sleeves but he also keeps you grounded and reasonable. I have heard Tim speak at a few conferences held for both school officials and attorneys and have seen first hand the respect others in the field have for him, and on both sides of the table. We still have many years ahead of us before our child ages out of school. Tim is on speed dial. Although we hope we won't need him, I know he will always pick up the phone and listen to what we have to say. He will give us an honest assessment of where we stand as well as great advice about what steps we should take to ensure the best interest of our child. If you think you need a lawyer to represent to your child's rights, well then you probably do. I suggest you call Tim and see what he has to say. Good luck and remember who we are fighting for.

The 4096 character limit allocated for a review is woefully insufficient to highlight how extraordinary of a man and a professional Tim Sindelar is or how much he has and continues to contribute to the world of special education. Tim is quite bluntly a walking encyclopedia of knowledge, the embodimen...t of kindness as well as generosity, and has the ability to advocate in the toughest of situations with the most difficult of personalities (i.e. opposing counsel, special education staff, the parents, the student) with grace, composure and influence. He has the respect of professionals on all sides of the table and at all levels of experience. My family has been blessed to have Tim in our lives for many, many years. No matter how much time passes between our peaks of need, Tim responds to us in rapid fashion and with enthusiastic engagement. He genuinely cares about each client, their journey, and their outcomes. He has helped my family to achieve amazing results that were as creative as the situation demanded and as effective as the need required. He is always honest and straightforward. He has the ability to educate you and engage you in the learning experience. To sum it all up - my son would never become the amazing teen he is today without Tim's help. He is the reason I can sleep at night with a heart warmed by the knowledge that my son's needs are met and he IS reaching his potential.

Attorney Sindelar is the utmost professional and was a key component in getting matters resolved in a timely and responsive manner. Attorney Sindelar kept me up to date with all matters pertaining to my case and guided me in a cost effective and responsible manner. I would highly recommend his servic...es.

Tim successfully represented my daughter in meetings with two school systems and their respective lawyers- as each school felt the other was legally responsible for providing continuing services to my daughter. The other lawyers clearly respected Tim and this went a long way in the meetings. Tim w...as always responsive to us and the two school lawyers which helped move things along. Before Tim was involved we were in the middle of a contentious battle with the two schools and felt that they were dragging things out trying to avoid providing services. After many frustrating months of trying to negotiate with the schools, it was nice to have a lawyer who returned phone calls and emails promptly and moved things along alleviating the additional frustration in trying to reach people in the schools. We received Tim's name from both our advocate and friends who also had success with Tim's help. We have subsequently referred Tim to a friend who also had a successful outcome. With Tim's help my daughter has received an additional 2 years of transition services that have proven to be more valuable than her 4 years of high school in terms of the growth that we have seen. It was a pleasure working with Tim- he knows the law, is well respected, is respectful of you and others involved, and gets things done.
