Who We Are
We are a special needs law firm; that is our focus, representing clients in Northern, Central, and Southern California.
We provide a very specific spectrum of services on behalf of families with special needs family members.
Our law firm advocates on behalf of you and your disabled family member, whether at a Conservatorship hearing, at a Regional Center forum, at an OAH (special education) administrative hearing, at an SSI appeal hearing, or in a Family Law court, addressing adult child support or just setting up a special needs trust.
What We Offer
Limited Conservatorship of Special Needs Adult
When a disabled child becomes 18 years of age, the law views the 18-year-old as being able to make his or her own decisions.
Adult Child Support Involving a Special Needs Child
As part of our practice, we offer legal services in the area of Adult Child Support. If you have an adult child who is moderately to severely disabled, we can represent you in a family law court.
Special Needs Trust
If you have a special needs child, it is essential that your estate planning includes a special needs trust. Failure to do so can cost your child lost government benefits as well as fewer
SSI Appeals
If you have either a minor or adult child with a developmental disability and your child has been denied SSI eligibility, we are available to manage your appeal
Special Education - Due Process
The focus of our special education/IEP attorney services is due process representation on behalf of a severely autistic child.
Regional Center Eligibility
There are five categories in which an individual can be eligible for regional center services. This includes intellectual disability
Mediation - Special Needs
For the longest time, our office has had a unique focus on litigation; specifically representing one parent of a special needs child or a special needs adult against the other parent.
