Services
These are the areas of law in which we excel due to our extensive experience and unique expertise. For both parents and educators, there has always been a strong concern with equality in education. This concern leads to efforts to assure that each child, no matter where he or she is situated, receives a free and appropriate education (FAPE).
Disability Rights, Texas, assists people with disabilities understand and exercise their rights under the law to ensure their full and equal participation in society. Their staff accomplishes this with legal aid to people with disabilities, protection of the rights through the courts and justice system, advocacy of laws and public policies that protect and advance the rights of people with disabilities.
As our firm has both a transactional and a litigation practice, fees and costs vary and are somewhat dependent upon the type of case for which we are employed.

We were directed to this firm by a good attorney friend of mine. We had been trudging through SPED ARD’s and various issues with our daughters’ school for a year with no results at all. She has ASD, Dyslexia, SPD, ADDHD and Dysgraphia diagnosis. We had her in separate outside ABA therapy that was working wonders and all we simply wanted was an even playing field with her peers. We didn’t care to get belligerent or demanding of any services that wouldn’t benefit her as it would truly only detract from other children that needed them. After hitting one brick wall after the next and knowing

Marty took my daughters case when no one else would. Fought it all the way to the full 5th circuit. Along the way he was consistently:
1. attentive and sensitive to the legal needs of the case, including all deadlines, court timelines, and our own numerous requests to understand what was going on and why it matters
2. detailed and correct in all legal filings; something that matters a lot when you go on appeal and you may not realize how important it is
3. upfront and honest about expenses to litigate, and our chances of winning a case when the law favors schools so heavily (they can basically

My husband and I worked with David Beinke, Nancy Flores, and Daniel Garza. From our first interaction with Cirkiel, we found them to be professional and with a keen understanding of the special education landscape in Texas and nationally, as well as deep compassion for students and their families. David was an endless resource of information (and humor!), and Nancy understood deeply the very complicated issues surrounding our child's case. Together, David, Nancy, and Daniel shepherded us through the beginnings of a very tense due process and mediation, ultimately getting us what our son needed

My workplace started a legal plan and I decided to get my will and other medical power of attorneys done. Looked at the plan and this place was listed as one of the participating legal participants. Talked with Steve there and he sent me out the forms to fill out stating what we wished. He did up the paperwork based on those forms and sent those back to us to review. We then went in for a meeting with him and went over what the wills and power of attorney said and everything was correct. They witnessed and notarized everything and gave us the will and other paperwork and we were on our way in less
