A game changer in the IEP process

We hired Andrea to represent our family in the IEP process for our special needs son, while my wife was dying of leukemia. Andrea made a promise to my wife before she died that she would take care of our son. Andrea stood by her promise, and the results have been nothing short of amazing! My son... started middle school grieving the loss of his mother, and struggling with ADHD, anxiety, and Tourette's. Our experience before hiring Andrea was that we were bullied and condescended upon by the public school district. With Andrea as our son's advocate, the school totally changed their attitude. Andrea professionally and forcefully pushed for what our son needed, even when the conversations with the school became contentious. She was a "bulldog" in our corner, always present to fight for our son. The school district respected her, and she had long term relationships with some key people there. The good news is that our son is now, three years later, wrapping up middle school. Thanks to the IEP provisions that Andrea helped us obtain, he has excelled in school. I highly recommend Andrea!

Fantastic Attorney

Mrs. Tytell has been our attorney for the past few years. She assisted us with our elementary school aged daughter. Our daughter has special needs that were not being met by the school and we were getting no where with our requests. Mrs. Tytell is not only compassionate, but very knowledgeable. Her a...dvise was spot on and stood by us every step of the way! We highly recommend Mrs Tytell she is truly a fantastic attorney!

What a wonderful experience

While one never seeks the services of an attorney under optimal circumstances, I am so grateful and blessed to have found Andrea M. Tytell. Ms. Tytell helped me get my child placed in a residential treatment program funded by the school district. I had tried to do this with two other attorneys who... were unsuccesful. Ms. Tytells knowledge of the law and special education regulations coupled with her work ethic and relationships with the parties involved were a magic recipe for our success and my child's welfare. She always returned my phone calls and even gave me her personal cell phone number in case of emergency. I never had to use it because both she and her office were always responsive to my questions. In response to the negative posts about Ms. Tytell, there obviously must be something deeper at issue with the poster because her service and the entire office are nothing but professional and competent.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. Andrea has been truly a pleasure to work with. She is very knowledgeable in the area of family law. Andrea and I worked together on a very contentious custody matter where the stakes where high and emotions of the parties were even higher. Andrea handled herself with dignity and compassion throughout the process and we were able to resolve a lengthy custody battle without further protracted litigation."
