Testimonials
Pro Bono Special Education Lawyers
Parents are understandably concerned about special education lawyer fees and should always discuss legal fees with a law firm at the beginning. Fortunately, the rules governing legal fees in many special education matters are structured to to help parents with fees. For example, section Sec. 300.517 of the IDEA provides that in certain circumstances, a parent who successfully brings claims against a school district can have some or all of the special education attorney fees paid by the school district. This law, and others, can significantly aid parents in obtaining legal representation particularly when free special education lawyers or Pro Bono lawyers are often very difficult to find.
How to Become a Special Education Lawyer
Special Education law is not taught in all law schools so practical experience is critical. Many Special Education lawyers have children who have unique learning needs themselves and learn about the practice through their family. If a law student wishes to practice this area of law talk to a practitioner and ask for mentoring and/or employment opportunities. CLE courses are also a good resource.
