Primarily interested in money, not client's welfare.

I was extremely disappointed with the lack of care and support. I was charged a "minimum of half an hour, even if she only worked for 10 minutes" on something. Moreover, I did not receive the help I needed.

We would Highly Recommend Lori Arons!

It was a great experience working with Lori. Everything was explained up front, she was very diligent and worked very fast being that we went to her in the 11th hour. I would highly recommend her any day. From the moment I met her in her office to the moment our case was settled in our favor, her fo...cus was solely on my child, his well being, and getting him everything that he deserved. She also gave me tissues when I cried tears of relief because without her we would have never won and got what my little warrior needed. Saying thank you will never be enough, but I am forever grateful to Lori! PS. You are definitely BADASS... But I'm not sure if I'm actually allowed say that.

Parent

We came to Lori at a very critical time in the life of our son. With her exceptional level of expertise, advice and guidance we were able to skillfully navigate the process of securing an out of district placement for our son at a top notch school. Lori works with an amazing team that were also cruci...al to us attaining success. Obtaining the most favorable outcome was always a top priority and we were able to rest easy, knowing that we could trust her leadership. We greatly appreciated the time Lori took to respond to our every question or concern. The responses were thoughtful, and were always in consideration of the big picture. Despite busy days, Lori always made time to speak or provide a response to an email or question. With Lori, you can rest assured that you are getting the very best. We highly recommended her to any family looking to ensure that their child gets what he or she deserves.

We are so fortunate to have met you and Cheryl. The two of you make an amazing team. You not only advocate for the child but you advocate for the parents as well! We are grateful, and so is our daughter. We wish you both continued success. It is so wonderful to see you both in action. The p...assion you have for helping others is incredible and infectious. Most incredible is how you turned your own challenging experience into a thriving business of advocating for those who don't have the skill set to do it for themselves. Not to mention, the child, in this case our child, who is the biggest winner of them all. I'd say that's certainly worthwhile work.... Our entire family is so thankful!!

The best special education attorney!

We would like to shout Lori’s name from every rooftop! She is a phenomenal special education attorney. We have been fighting with our district for placement in the Hearing Impaired Program(HIP) in Midland Park for our son with severe-profound hearing loss and he just received a cochlear implant, whic...h requires extensive rehabilitation that only HIP can provide. The district was picking and choosing what they can do to service him in district which is only what THEY could do, not what our son needed. We met with Lori on March 15, and by March 29, she had filed a petition that was super strong that the district immediately approved Out of District Placement without even fighting for the Due Process. Now our son can start HIP, where he belongs, ASAP all thanks to Lori (and our amazing advocate Cheryl Connors from Child Means Child LLC who works very closely with Lori, and recommended we use Lori!). Lori is very thorough and knows what to write and look for to get your child a FAPE (Free Appropriate Public Education) which is what they deserve. Lori has your and your child’s best interest in mind and works quickly, thoroughly and efficiently to write a very strong petition. Lori takes the time to explain the entire process to you, and for people like us who have no background in law whatsoever, we found that extremely helpful. If you are having trouble getting what your child needs and deserves from your school district, look no further and reach out to Lori and you will NOT be sorry!

  • 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.
