Amazing resource for families

We cannot say enough about the support that Tere Ramos provides to families of children with special needs. From the first phone call, we knew that not only would Tere guide us smoothly along the process, but she truly cared about helping our daughter get the services she needed. Tere communicates ...with both families and other professionals effectively and in a very timely manner, and she uses her negotiating skills to allow the parties to reach agreement in the best interest of the student. We are so grateful to have Tere’s guidance, encouragement, and legal knowledge supporting our family.

Caring and knowledgeable

Tere Ramos is very knowledgeable and cares deeply about her clients and the issues they face. As a trainer and long-time advocate, she has personal knowledge of the special education system and how to guide parents through it. In particular, she can provide detailed guidance for parents and students ...for whom English is not a first language.

Education and civil rights attorney

A great lawyer who will go above and beyond to ensure those who are the most vulnerable like individuals with disabilities, ELL students with disabilities, LEP parents have language access and an education they deserve. Clear detailed communication is her priority to ensure her clients understand the... process along the way.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
