Lori E. Arons

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!

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.
