There are a few lawyers listed on this page. Good luck!

You do know that the Supreme Court has just ruled that you don’t need an attorney to appeal your child’s IEP or change in School’s don’t you?? You may be better off trying to find a private program for him. IF you want to make sure that your child’s placement isn’t changed than get recommendations from all of the health professionals that work with him to leave him where he is if that’s what you really think is best. And when I say everyone I mean everyone!!! I got letters from my daughter’s pediatrician, psychologist, psychiatrist, neurologist and her OT. You need to make sure that you have all of these. If you don’t find an attorney if you still want to go with one (I and my cousin did it for our children with out one) contact you Bar association and they should know who specializes in education law. IF you want to know more about how I did it email me.
