Stephen Joseph Jacobson

I highly recommend using Jacobson & John. They were very professional and knowledgeable. Hiring an educational attorney was something we never thought we would have to do and seemed overwhelming. They made the entire process much easier than we anticipated. From the consultation through final settlem...ent they were easy to get in touch with and very responsive. I felt I had someone really listen to my concerns and understand my point of view.

Our child went multiple years without receiving the supports and services necessary to make him successful. Despite our attempts to work with the school district during ongoing IEP meetings, things didn’t really turn around for our son until we hired Jacobson and John and worked with Steve to have th...e necessary evaluations completed to develop an effective plan of services and supports for our son. Mr. Jacobson was supportive from the very beginning with giving us a clear overview of what the process would involve as well as a reasonable timeline to expect since the situation wasn’t fixed quickly. Although it took time to work through the process, Steve always made himself available to answer our questions and keep us informed of the progress he was making with the district’s attorney. When it came to scheduling meetings, he was very flexible with his personal schedule to ensure meetings could be scheduled in a timely manner to keep from delaying the process. Most of all, Steve took the time to get to know what our son needed to truly be success and then went to work on pushing for those services and supports to be put into place for him. If you’re experiencing frustrations with the lack of services and supports your student with special needs is receiving, Jacobson and John can provide you with the support and services to turn the situation around. We’re very appreciative of the guidance and support Steve provided to ensure an overall successful outcome for our son!

My daughter is 15 years old and has been out of school for 3 and half year. We needed to find a school that could cater to her needs. She has a neurological disorder that affects her sleeping and cognitive function of learning. We went to Steve to negotiate on behalf of her to go to a school to bette...r fit her needs. We found a school and although took a little longer to come to an agreement we found the education she needs. Steve was on top of everything, he was prompt and up to date on all the happenings in this proceeding. I would highly recommend Steve and his law firm to negotiate with any issues pertaining to education.
