Nancy Ryan and Lorrie McKinley were professional, knowledgeable, and empathetic to our needs. We were unable to get answers for situation until talking to them. Simply, they said what they would do....and then did it. I highly recommend them.

Stay away from this law firm, they're all talk with zero results! I'm still fighting (since 2015) to get help for my child at his/her school and Nancy Ryan was supposed to be the expert to get things done! What a joke! This firm is more interested in high-profile cases or school districts with money. God forbid they have to break a sweat for special education children from lower income school districts because they put very little effort into it!! Shame on them! Be careful what you pay for!

Can't disclose the specifics, but Nancy delivered. Our son had needs that weren't being sufficiently met, and she fought to get them. Professional, kind and we couldn't have been happier with the outcome.
