Excellent Compassionate Attorney

Meagan has been advocating for my daughter and supporting my family for more than 4 years now. Meagan has been by my side through numerous IEP meetings, due processes and complicated situations with the school district. She has been encouraging me and providing me with honest counsel, as well as init...iating effective and appropriate legal action, to make sure that my daughter gets what she deserves and what she is entitled to. Thanks to Meagan, my daughter, now a high schooler, continues to receive a full range of services that she needs to succeed at school, and become as independent as she can with her disability. Meagan is a devoted and caring person, (she is a mother herself), who is passionate about helping children with different abilities, as well as helping their parents navigate the waters of Special Education and take the routes that are most beneficial for the whole family. Meagan is always responding to my emails and her team will always schedule a phone call for me to go over my concerns. Meagan has given me quite a bit of her personal time as well, during very stressful situations, which I greatly appreciate. I admire Meagan’s perseverance, persistence, as well as realistic strategic approach to getting her clients what they need. She has never misled me and has always been open with me during our consultations. You will appreciate Meagan’s soft spoken manner and her zealous step by step approach to supporting your child’s rights for appropriate education.

WONDERFUL!

Ms. Nunez was a wonderful advocate for my daughter. I often have to make this decisions and advocate for my daughter on my own. This time I had an amazing support in Ms. Nunez. She made numerous calls on our behalf to her school district and we were able to resolve the issue we were having very quick...ly. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is a truly kind and compassionate advocate.

Compassionate Attorney

Meagan is very compassionate and thorough. She reviewed our documentation (there was a lot!) so she was ready when the time came to move forward with our case. Meagan's knowledge of Special Education Law and her knowledge of the school district had a tremendous impact on the result of our case. As... we navigate the school system in the future it is comforting to know Meagan and her team will be there to help if needed. We definitely recommend Meagan!

Simply Amazing!

A must consult/hire!!! I have never met a lawyer who has put so much dedication to the job. Her compassion is matched with her knowledge and wisdom with the school district.

Great Job!!!

My daughter has an IEP, and the high school she attended was very difficult to work with. Ms. Nunez was extremely helpful finding me an IEP consultant, and answering all my legal questions. The high school also owed me money, and Ms. Nunez was excellent in helping me get my money back. The IEP proc...ess is a complex, legal process - and Ms. Nunez did a great job guiding us through it. I was even able to get the high school to pay most of Ms. Nunez's legal fees! Also - the previous Education Attorney I hired was terrible, and I had to fire her in the middle of an unfinished job. Ms. Nunez was such a breath of fresh air after that bad experience. I highly recommend Ms. Nunez!
