Professional, Empathetic and Smart

We had an urgent issue with our special needs son and his high school. Wiscarson Law responded quickly to my call and scheduled me in to see Elizabeth Polay that very week. She was incredibly kind, upfront and a top notch subject matter expert in Special Needs/Education. She managed our expectatio...ns perfectly. Her kindness and empathy are so genuine and comforting. She is a wonderful advocate for children and is committed to helping and supporting families like mine. I have had two other experiences with other attorneys in this field and Elizabeth Polay and Wiscarson law has been the best experience by far. Thank you Elizabeth!!

Smart, Detail Oriented, Compassionate

Elizabeth represented our child's educational needs in working with our rural school district. We were very pleased with her support, attention to detail, depth and breadth of knowledge and strength in representing our needs. She was reasonable in her approach to find common ground, while keeping our... daughter's needs at the forefront of the discussion. Our case was complex and she stayed the course to help educate us on the complexities of the federal special education system, while including our daughter's voice in her needs. Thanks!! Great Job.

Professional and efficient

Elizabeth did an excellent job. We hired her to help us with a guardianship. She understood the issues and handled the matter in a professional and efficient manner. She responded promptly to emails and we highly recommend her.
