California Individualized Education Program (IEP) Lawyer
Children, whatever their abilities and limitations, are entitled to a free and appropriate public education. At the law firm of McGlinn & McGlinn, Attorneys at Law, we advocate for parents and their children when they experience difficulties in school because of their physical or mental disabilities. We will refer the family to an experienced special education advocate who will work as part of our team to advocate for the best services for the minor.
Our founding attorney, Michael D. McGlinn Esq., has been helping parents and their children with a wide range of juvenile matters since the 1970s. He and his son, attorney Ryan M. McGlinn Esq., are committed to making sure that families stay together whenever possible and get the resources they need to overcome legal problems. Our San Diego special education law attorneys believe this is an important part of their focus on children and youth.
How We Help
We help parents and their children when they encounter difficulties obtaining the education they need and deserve. Our advocacy includes:
- Fighting expulsions and suspensions
- Helping parents establish and enforce individualized education programs (IEPs) for their children
- Attending manifestation hearings after a school recommends a long-term suspension for a child with a disability
- Attending due process hearings about a specific IEP
Laying Out Your Options
Parents whose children have especially challenging situations, such as Asperger's syndrome or who display violent or threatening behavior, may find themselves in need of an objective but sympathetic third party to help them asses their options related to educating their children. Our attorneys are known for their abilities to lay out choices and describe the pros and cons of each; parents whose children are in special education programs often need this type of assistance as they navigate the educational bureaucracy. We are highly knowledgeable about resources available to parents and help them evaluate programs and schooling opportunities.
