Bridget Bourgette

We had a legal matter with a local school and from previous reviews Bridget seemed to be the person to go to. We were not disappointed and from the first conversation on she had realistic answers for us about what would or would not work for our case, what we could reasonably ask for and how to best ...go about it. She also kept expectations realistic and prepared us for the possible ways this could play out, from best case scenario to a more lengthy process. While a little tucked away and up a flight of stairs through the back her office was otherwise easy to find. Her staff, specifically Linda, are fantastic. If there if there is anything that could have been better than it is maybe the time it took to get the initial letter out, but I strongly believe this is due to her being thought after and busy. For very good reasons. We are very happy with Bridget's representation for us.

I sincerely can't say enough for how much we appreciate the work of Ms. Shaw on behalf our son and our family. She helped us through an extremely stressful time with our son's school. We felt she advocated for him as if he was her own son. She was so sharp and very accessible/flexible when it came to... meeting times and email correspondence. We highly recommend her for educational and civil rights issues.

Bridget and the team at Shaw Law Group did an outstanding job of representing my family for our son's complex IEP. She quickly became familiar with our son's medical, therapeutic and schooling history. She took the time to understand our perspectives and what would be best for our son. And she rep...resented us (both in communications and in meetings) in a way that ensured the best outcome for our son. I couldn't be happier with results. Thank you Bridget and team!

Our 18 year old special needs son was having difficulties with his classroom environment. These became worse over a 4 month period and ultimately resulted with him acting up in class and regressing academically. We understood the root cause of the issue and suggested the fix several times but we were... ignored by the high school each time. In parallel, we were trying to negotiate with the school his IEP for the following year. When discussing the IEP, the school wanted to place him in a program that would not meet his needs. We hired Bridget to help champion our son’s immediate and future needs. Within 2 weeks he was moved to a new classroom environment; immediately ending his difficulties. And 2 weeks after that our son’s IEP was finalized with him being recommended for the program we wanted him to attend. Bridget was very professional, responsive and did a great job ensuring our son’s rights were being met. Will definitely hire her again if the need should arise.
