When I was first notified of unwarranted school-based disciplinary action against my son, I thought I could handle it on my own with proper documentation and communication. But when my efforts were minimized and the situation escalated, I knew it was time to seek professional advocacy. A close fr...iend of mine in the education system highly recommended Attorney Jeff Forte. My initial call to his law firm was to Estee Boshoff, intake specialist, who immediately put my mind at ease and lifted the immense weight off my shoulders. Estee was very understanding, professional, and empathetic throughout the process and acted very promptly to connect me with Attorney Forte. Upon first meeting with Jeff, my son and I felt heard, respected, and supported. Although the case we presented to him was not something he regularly encountered, he took it on without hesitation. He was fully committed to representing us and he put in countless hours of research and fact-finding in an area of educational law that was previously uncharted for him. He fearlessly, and victoriously, took on opposing counsel from a major law firm. Due to his diligence and expertise, our case ultimately arrived at an agreeable settlement. Despite that satisfaction, what holds more profound weight than the gratitude and respect that I have for Jeff, is the fact that throughout the nightmare of an ordeal, he became like family. He didn’t see my son as a case or a client… he saw my son. He communicated frequently throughout every step of the process and always made a point to ask how my son was holding up. The quality of care, compassion, and professionalism that we have received are far beyond my reasonable expectations. Attorney Jeff Forte, and his entire team, are exactly who you need on your side for educational matters!

Jeff Forte is tenacious. As a parent trying to navigate uncharted waters and get my kids what they need while also wanting to maintain good working relationships with school staff, having Jeff in our corner took the pressure off of me while still making sure the full range of services was forcefully... advocated for. Jeff is adaptable, creative and strategic. He got both of our kids what they needed under difficult circumstances, and we are very thankful.

I contacted Jeff after hitting several dead ends with trying to get help for my son for his learning deficits and battle with social anxiety which was exacerbated by school. I consulted with a number of attorneys prior to contacting Jeff and he was the most caring and compassionate about helping my ...son. Jeff is available when needed and is responsive to all modes of communication. He helped me navigate and understand what options I had for my sons placement in an environment that was conducive to how he learns. My only regret was that I hadn’t contacted him sooner. My son is happier and excelling in an environment that does not make him feel alienated or stressed. He has straight A’s at this time - Thank you Jeff for your guidance and perseverance

Attorney Forte helped my family through a bullying situation in school. We feel fortunate to have found him (through a friend) when the school was ignoring us and we felt helpless. After consulting with Jeff we immediately hired him. He explained our rights and went to work right away. Our situation ...was resolved soon after his first contact with school leaders. Jeff stayed with the case and saw it through to completion and even checked in with us at the start of this school year!

Forte Law Group did an incredible job guiding us through our child’s IEP. Attorney Forte and his team developed an excellent understanding of our child’s needs from a medical, clinical and legal perspective. They guided us every step of the way developing a tailored strategy to address our daughter’s... immediate and longer-term needs. This was invaluable to our daughter receiving the right level of intervention and support from our public school. We are grateful for the services provided by the Forte Law Group and are confident that our daughter will continue to thrive because of the services she will now receive.
