Wonderful experience

Diane and her staff are extremely professional yet down to earth. Diane handled our case as if she was dealing with her own child's education. Her heart is definitely in it for the kids. She is extremely knowledgeable regarding education law, IEP's, and school districts. Since she has been in the bus...iness for so long, she already had a relationship with our director of special education and most of the staff in the school district knew her and she had a great reputation for being a fair advocate for parents. She was extremely flexible in her schedule and she always made us feel like we were the only case she was handling. Thank you Diane! We will and have recommended you to everyone we've come in contact with who has needed legal help in special education.

Compassionate & constructive support

Diane was willing to take on our case, which was just too complex for other professionals. She is straightforward while empathetic, guiding & supporting our family in a twisted maze of barriers, with the right balance of diplomacy & toughness. Her familiarity with school officials assists in achiev...ing positive outcomes. Diane is a sweet bulldog of an attorney, just the one you want next to you--very experienced & competent in special needs advocacy in your child's education process. I am thankful to Diane & her office.

Remarkable ability to build connections in difficult situations.

My husband and I were hesitant to contact an attorney regarding our son's need for additional support in the classroom. His teachers were doing all they could, but needed more resources from the district. Diane managed to get everyone the resources they needed, without creating an adversarial situati...on. In fact, I feel like our relationship with the school improved as a result of her involvement. Highly recommended.

Wonderful lawyer and advocate

Wonderful lawyer who helped us obtain school district support for our son. Extremely knowledgeable about what is possible (or not). Importantly, she knew all the key players in our school district--which helped us strategize the best approach to get what we needed. Recommend highly!

I Will Hire Her Again If We Have Any SPED Concerns ...

I think the title says it all - what better indication of service is there. It was empowering to have Diane on my family's side. She helped tweak our son's IEP and gave us useful input, especially when we were looking at switching schools. I appreciated her no-nonsense style, her depth of knowledg...e, and genuine care. Additionally, she is extraordinarily fair in her billing practices which of course is absolutely refreshing, particularly given her profession.
