Lori E. Arons

We have our share of challenges in raising a child with autism, and getting the supports and services he needs for his educational goals. Enters Lori Arons, and from the moment we sat down with her in her office, and explained what it is we were seeking to achieve for our son, Lori had a plan of ac...tion, and was committed to helping us in any way possible to get what he needed. Lori was able to use her legal expertise to support us, and educate us on our rights as parents, and our son's rights as a student. Her tenacity throughout our case with the school district, resulted in a favorable outcome where the school district agreed to send him an out of district placement in a top private school. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, we truly appreciate all your hard work on our behalf.

As an advocate looking for someone to represent my own child, I was an informed and demanding client, not to mention emotionally distraught. But Lori was exactly the WonderWoman I needed! I walked into Lori's office exhausted by my attempts to get my struggling twice-exceptional son's needs met. Befo...re that first meeting ended Lori was on the phone putting a plan into action that would achieve my goals, preserve my sanity and not empty my dwindling bank account. In the weeks that followed Lori continued to prove herself to be compassionate, tenacious, knowledgable, strategic and always readily available. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Let's face it. What matters most is results. What Lori achieved for my child was groundbreaking in my district. I was told repeatedly by others that what I was asking for would never happen. Well those skeptics "never" hired Lori.

Lori is excellent and very friendly. She has both very knowledge about the special education law and the legal law. I first reached her out by doing my own search a year ago, but didn’t meet her that time. Then a year later, I was struggling with legal saturation with the school district, then I sa...t down with her, she walked through with my saturation and guide me through what will be incoming to deal with the school, then she quickly prepared a letter at our first meeting and guide me through, from the day one school heard her name, I saw the school attitude has gone changed, it’s so amazing, she has found out there were a lot of service that my daughter entitle to was missing, and we were treated unfairly by that. Therefore she has quickly turn the table, and keep me in posts for every steps she deal with the school attorney, and are able to get the service to my daughter that she need within a month. Also she has very warmly heart, she also accommodate our special request that we were able saving little financial cost. Thank you Lori. It’s the best experience to work with you. I wish I have met you sooner. And I highly recommend to everyone.

Lori, We are forever grateful to you! Thank you for all you did for us to get out school district to agree to a classification for Sammi. We truly appreciate all your help with the letters to CST as well as your participation in our last meeting with the school. Your knowledge, patience and det...ermination on our final goal of getting her classified was evident since day 1. Thank you again!

It was great working with Lori, she helped us to feel at ease during a very difficult situation. She dealt with all of the complexities and filtered out all the chaos for us so we could just focus on our son. She moved everything along efficiently and quickly in order to ensure that our son was abl...e to get the most effective learning environment in an appropriate time frame. My favorite thing about working with Lori was that she personalized everything for our son and our family. We were not simply a number to her. She handled our case with compassion and personalized service. Her knowledge of "the system" was impressive, and through her knowledge she was able to help educate us as well. I would recommend Lori to anyone with a special needs child. Even if you "think" your child is getting what they need, you might be surprised to find that they are entitled to much more. Children with special needs can be a very vulnerable group. They need great guidance and advocacy from people like Lori to ensure that they are able to reach their full potential.
