Excellent special education lawyer!

My family has had a terrible experience trying to get the appropriate services through our public school system for our son who has special needs. Jason has helped our son tremendously. Special needs parents are a learn as you go community, and it is a wonderful feeling knowing that Jason is on your ...team to support you and your child. I would first like to point out that he is the perfect combination that anyone would want in a lawyer. He is incredibly intelligent, knows the law by heart (can cite the law during debates), is intimidated by no one, and truly CARES! He is dedicated and will never back down because he is passionate about helping his clients have their best chance for a successful life. Not only does Jason fight for what I think my son needs, but also informs me on the options that should be offered to my son (such as goals to be added on my son's IEP, an IEE, recommended a specific advocate, information districts have no right to etc.). I 100% recommend Jason to any of you who need help helping your children

Honest, Fantastic Attorney!

Our family retained Jason Wallace for our case against a school district when we were concerned about our child's well being, how to obtain special education services and the school not offering services for our child, despite many requests. We were at a loss on how to get help and sought to retain a...ttorney services. We contacted Mr. Wallace and his team and they contacted us back immediately, but set the consultation within days, working with our busy schedules for an evening visit. He is professional, effective, honest and extremely hard-working. I was fearful of attending meetings at the school and the school was, at the least, very intimidating in their approach to our family. My children and my family trust him to handle our case with care. He has integrity, he is honest, he is committed to his clients and ensuring first and foremost that we have fair treatment. No matter what the school district and their attorneys have "thrown" at us, he finds the root cause of the matter and establishes a solution. His experience and knowledge of Special Education Law comes through as he gives expert legal advice and personalized client services. He continues to attempt negotiations and contest and advocate on behalf of our family for the rights of our child. Our family has the utmost, total respect for him and his partner Daniel Basche. They are handling our family and our case with extreme care. He is a top-notch education attorney in northeast Ohio and is making such a positive difference by standing up for the rights of children in the educational system.

Passionate, Energetic lawyer

Mr. Wallace is a knowledgeable and passionate lawyer. There are very few lawyers who are experts in Education Law, but Mr. Wallace is one of them. We were impressed with the depth of his knowledge and attention to event the small details of the case. He is very passionate and wants what is best fo...r the client. He did not pressure us when we had to make decisions on the case but gave us the information for us to make the best decisions for our family. He is very ethical with how he dealt with us and always stuck to facts and the truth of the case. I would definitely recommend Mr. Wallace for an attorney.
