I recently hired Surisa Rivers to help me with a case regarding my daughter's need for accommodation at a private school and to help us attain a contract for next year (which they were denying based on my daughter's ADHD. Ms. Rivers was an amazing advocate for us and she handled the situation profes...sionally, thoroughly and with compassion. She was very upfront about her time constraints (for example, if she would be in court for 3 days in hearings and wouldn't be able to respond to me, she let me know) so I wouldn't be in the dark about why I might not hear from her. She did her research, was articulate and was very thorough in her research of precedent to help support my case. Many lawyers won't take on a case against a private school but Surisa believed in our case and was a great support during a stressful time. It only took one letter for her to get the school to agree to our demands, that is how good the one letter was. I highly recommend that if you have an educational issue that requires a lawyer, you hire Surisa Rivers.

Our autistic son was denied necessary services by his school to help promote his learning. We contacted Surisa Rivers Law Firm. The lead attorney in our son's case was Ms Sarah Gross. Sarah and Surisa listened to our complaints of the school and how our son was treated. Sarah reviewed our son's r...ecords and initiated the Due Process proceedings. In our first and only meeting with the school, they wanted this case settled. Our attorney negotiated with the school which resulted in our son receiving the necessary services immediately. Sarah and Surisa were well versed in special education law, worked very hard resulting in our son now receiving the necessary services to promote his learning. We would recommend this law firm to all who need to deal with the school regarding their children with special needs. We are very satisfied with the attorneys, Sarah and Surisa, as they explained the law to us, kept us informed every step of the way, and were very understanding.
