Education Law Attorney and Parent

With experience as both a lawyer and a parent of a child in special education, I understand the system from every angle — and offer impartial consultations to help you make the best choices for your child.

My Story

Like many of you, I was introduced to Education Law advocating for my child, who was on an IEP.  Education Law piqued my interest so much that I decided to attend law school and pursue a career in this area.  After graduating Suffolk Law School in 2007, I opened my own practice and have concentrated in Education Law since then.  

Why I Do This Work

As both a lawyer and a parent of a child who received special education services, I know how complicated and emotional these situations can be. Parents often feel outmatched, overwhelmed or unsure whether they’re making the right decisions.

That’s why my consultations are designed to give you clarity and balance. You get honest feedback—even if it means hearing what you might not want to hear—so you can move forward with confidence, knowing you explored your options fully.

My Guiding Belief

Success means getting the best outcome possible, given the realities of your situation.  Success is not about “winning” through litigation. In fact, litigation should be a last resort.  

With empowerment through knowledge and planning, parents and guardians are often able to achieve their goals without the stress, expense and risk of litigation. Of course, there are exceptions.  Every path is different, and I’m here to help you find yours.
