ASD Mom

Ms. Sarah was very meticulous and diligent in my child's legal representation. Her professional legal advocacy provided a sense of calm throughout the due process. Ms. Sarah was thorough in her explanations, reasoning behind every action to be made and said to present to the school district. All of m...y child's current special educational placements and educational peace of mind was due to Ms. Sarah Gross legal expertise. Ms. Sarah will be the Special Ed. Attorney I will continue to consult and refer family's to. Thank you Ms. Gross

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
