Dedicated, diligent and knowledgable

Nick has served as our family attorney since 2010. He is the advocate for our son who is autistic. He has been wonderful in dealing with the myriad of educational challenges we have had to navigate. He wrote our will and has been instrumental in a number of other personal legal matters that we hav...e had to deal with. My husband and I highly recommend Nick. He is professional, honest, hard working and knowledgeable of the law.

Professional Special Education and IEP Attorney

As a physician and surgeon I am well aware of what is required to give professional service to a person and or a family. When my wife and I were looking for an attorney to represent our child and our family we specifically wanted someone who had a broad depth of experience, firsthand knowledge of our... circumstances and had dealt with these legal issues on all levels. There are a plethora factors and issues to consider and it can be quite emotional. This is an ongoing and potentially lifelong situation with special needs children. Unfortunately it is never clear at any point in the process how the school district issues can or will turn out and legal advice is a must. We are committed to the success of our child as a family and as such we required seasoned professional legal counsel that was equally committed to that end as well. The proper legal representation and counsel in our view would help create an environment where the school wants to partner with the family to achieve what is in the best interest of the child and the family. Therefore we wanted and needed someone who would not falter and would represent us with a strong, confident and steady hand. Mr. Davaei was that person for us. After our initial consultation we felt confident that Mr. Davaei would not be surprised by any eventuality presented to him or us. His fair and forthright reputation preceded him at all IEP meetings and legal proceedings. We had instant credibility with him as our counsel because he is well known and respected and he did not disappoint us. We continue to work hard to pull our child up and Mr. Davaei has encouraged and supported us. We are a team working toward a common goal with the school district on our side and not working against us and our child and we credit Mr. Davaei with helping us achieve this end. Mr. Davaei understood our plight and will understand your plight and he will help you build your team. We confidently recommend Nick Davaei to any and all families with special needs children and without any reservations.

Excellent Attorney

Nick gave me hope at a time when I was completely overwhelmed from dealing with the school district. After attending one of my child's IEP meetings, I knew I needed an attorney to ensure his educational rights were protected. I contacted Nick, and during our first conversation he listened to all of... my concerns and educated me about special education law. I felt confident that I had found an attorney that would be dedicated to protecting my son's educational rights. Throughout his representation, Nick promptly responded to my phone calls and emails. Nick was with me every step of the way, educating me and reassuring me throughout the process. In our meetings with the school district, Nick was highly respected by all parties. Through his vast knowledge of special education law, professionalism and dedication, Nick successfully negotiated with school district administrators to secure an appropriate educational program for my son. Through Nick's advocacy, my son excels in his educational program. I am so thankful to Nick for protecting my son's rights and giving me hope for his future. I will be forever grateful for all that Nick did to help my child. I would highly recommend Nick for special education advocacy and legal services. Thank you Nick.
