STEVEN WYNER had a successful practice with a major law firm when he became interested in special education law because the public school could not teach his developmentally delayed son, Jonathan, how to read.  He made up his mind to exercise Jonathan's rights and made sure that Jonathan learned to read. 

MARCY TIFFANY was general counsel of a major corporation when she became involved in special education law because the school district was failing to meet the needs of her gifted, but learning disabled, child. 

Three of our paralegal/advocates, DONA WRIGHT, JEN RALPH, and JOIE MONTANA have children who have been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, which lead them to became activists advocating for the rights of their own children and others in the community. 

We know, first hand, what a struggle it is to obtain appropriate services for our children.  We have shared the anguish of parents who watch their children combat enormous obstacles to obtain an appropriate education.  We understood the frustration of dealing with an unresponsive public school bureaucracy.  The fact is, public schools take lawyers more seriously than parents.  For this reason, Steven and Marcy redirected their skills as lawyers toward helping children with special education needs.  With the expertise and the support of our staff, we have helped many families identify and obtain the services that their children require.  We believe our personal experiences give us a unique perspective on the practice of special education law.
