Director of Special Services

Michelle Laubin is very knowledgeable, professional and responsive. She has an outstanding grasp and understanding of educational law as well as a clear, concise communication style that is direct and to the point. Michelle is a team player that works toward bringing involved parties to a mutual ag...reement that best meets the needs of all parties involved. In my personal experience I have found her to be very helpful and supportive.

Coordinator of Special Education

Michelle is an extremely knowdedgable, experienced attorney in the area of education law. Her expertise in this area has been extremely helpful to me in my position. She is able to help educational teams navigate through conflict and move a resolution forward. I have appreciated her availability t...o my requests for information, but most of all her dedication to the field and her commitment to work with the school district to help make decisions that are appropiate for students with disabilities.

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.
