Our goal is to assure each client that he or she has someone in their corner at all times and that the arguments presented are accurate and comprehensive.
We keep all parties on the same page.
We specialize in 3020-a Arbitration throughout New York State as well as in New York City, and we also assist Attorneys hired to do  Article 75 and 78 appeals, Part 83 Appeals, First Department Appeals, and civil actions in State and Federal Court.
Additionally, for more than 15 years we have represented parents/guardians at Impartial Hearings, where we obtain public funding for non-public and private schools. We also attend IEP meetings, evaluations and conferences as part of our set fee.
