Top notch attorney!!

Melissa cares so much about children and it shows through her work. She is knowledgeable and will make sure your child is treated properly and is given the right accommodations. My son has exceeded in all areas because of Melissa's help.

The best lawyer in special education and 504

We are excited by the representation of Melissa. It helped with section 504 of our son. Melissa made us feel safe and calm. Melissa Thank you returned us peace and especially to our son in difficult times. Our son is now immensely happy at school. Thank you for fighting and protect the rights of our ...son. May God give you health so you can continue to defend the rights of special education children. You're the best lawyer! THANK YOU!

One of the BEST investments for our child

Melissa was an ideal attorney for helping us navigate and advocate for our daughter's 504 dyslexia services. It was a challenge and I strongly believe we would not have prevailed without her extreme preparation and exquisite knowledge of the law, child rights in the school, dyslexia, and negotiation... skills. She is a wonderful communicator, knowledgeable, savvy tactician, and above all wants what is best for the child and parent. I would not hesitate to recommend her in the highest regard. Thank you, Melissa!

Such a blessing to our Family!

Family & Special Education Attorney, Melissa Schere has been a blessing to our family. She has an amazing back ground in Diagnostic Education and is very knowledgeable in all areas of Special Education Law. Our son’s situation at School had become frustrating and I knew something wasn’t right when ...it came to my child’s IEP goals and services. Melissa took the time to meet with my family, got to know my son and researched his prior ARD paperwork and IEP goals. Melissa attended all meetings and responded to all school e-mail correspondence. By the end of our Annual ARD we received ALL of the services that my son qualified for but was not receiving prior to her representation. My son has also received additional services, has been maintaining in the General Education setting and has even qualified for the Gifted and Talented Program. As I sit and write this, I am overwhelmed with tears of joy because of all the progress that my son has made, and I know that without Melissa’s help none of this would have been possible for my son. In my son’s old words, he now tells me that he “feels normal again and is happy to be in a regular classroom with friends.” I can’t say enough good things about Melissa and I would absolutely, without a doubt refer her to friends, family and anyone else in need of her services. Sincerely, B.Lueiro
