Anne Improved our daughter's education which resulted in a drastic improvement in her overall quality of life!

I hired Anne Tremanis and she has changed my daughter's life for the better. She was able to make meaningful changes on her IEP which improved her quality of education and drastically improved her quality of life substantially, and for that I am very grateful to her. She spent countless hours offerin...g advice and tips. Her integrity and compassion as well her passion for advocating for the most vulnerable population is clear from the second you meet her. Anne Treimanis is also an accomplished author. She published IEP and Inclusion Tips and has been a reviewer for Wrightslaw, published or edited chapters of books, and written various law review and other professional articles about special education topics. She is a frequent speaker at both national and local conferences for various disabilities and serves on various committees and workgroups related to disabilities. What I like most about Anne is her sound ethical advise. Thanks to Anne my daughter is making tremendous gains and benefiting from her education. Excellent attorney, highly recommend!

Anne Treimanis

Anne has been a fantastic resource for my family and a tireless fighter for children with special needs and their families. I have used her services for two of my children and I highly recommend her. She works collaboratively with families, schools, and school districts. She is very professional bu...t also very compassionate. Anne has helped us through some difficult times and ensured that my children received the most appropriate services. She is very well regarded in the special education community and frequently gives her time and expertise to teach parents (and schools) how to work together.

Excellent attorney, highly recommend!

We hired Anne to represent our daughter at a PPT. Anne is a an incredible attorney. She has a special needs child so she truly understands the hardships and difficulties parents face on a daily basis. Anne has clearly devoted her entire career to working with clients with special needs. Anne is very ...professionally, knowledgeable, personable and highly professional. I have recommended her to other parents and they have been very satisfied.

The QUEEN of Special Education Law!

Anne Treimanis is the QUEEN of Special Education Law! I have used Anne services directly for my son on the autism spectrum and as a Child Advocate; I have referred my cases to her when an attorney was needed. Anne has also represented “Stamford Education 4 Autism”, a local non-profit organizatio...n of which I am president. Anne approaches every case with the highest level of professionalism. She will effectively represent your child as if it is her own. She understands that it’s a stressful time in your life: she will help ease your uncertainties and explain your case to you in a very simple, respectful and understanding way. She will educate you first on your rights, then educate your team…. those whom you are fighting with. Your child will be well represented and when she enters a meeting, everyone listens! She holds districts accountable for doing what is right for your child and your child wins! One would think having Anne, with such high qualifications, as their attorney would be expensive…not true! Anne will not take financial advantage of you. Her rates are extremely reasonable for her services and when she commits to your case, you can breathe a sign of fresh air. I can’t stress enough how she is invaluable to me. There is no other special education attorney that I would use….she is the Queen of Special Education Law and we all deserve the royal treatment for our children and to give the royal treatment to our districts that violate our children’s rights! Thank you, Attorney Anne Treimanis…. for dedicating your life to the rights of all individuals with special needs. You are truly amazing!
