Laura helped us develop effective IEPs and also protected our child’s rights by winning two complex due process cases and a federal court appeal. Laura knows special education law inside and out, but she is also very thorough, well-organized and easy to work with. She has a professional manner a...nd excellent rapport with judges and arbitrators, which was useful in getting the results we wanted. She is even well respected by school staff and opposing counsel, which made the process less confrontational than it could have been. I am thankful that we had Laura advocating for our child.

My wife and I were very fortunate to have Laura recommended to us by our educational consultant. She was able to help us get through a very frustrating and emotional time in our lives relating to our emotional imparied child. She is very knowlegeable of the law and is well respected by her peers an...d this was very helpful in getting the best IEP for our child. We routinley consult with Laura as new issuse arise and truley do not feel alone with her representing us. We will continue to reley on here for our future needs as they come up. I highly recommend Laura Athens and take my recommendations very seriously especially when related to leagal or medical situations
