Since 1988, I have been representing representing individuals with disabilities, first as a staff attorney for public interest organizations and now in my solo practice.  Today I devote much of my practice to special education.  I work with parents to help their children get a free appropriate public education under IDEA and to effectuate their rights under the Americans with Disabilites Act and Section 504 of the Rehabiltiation Act of 1973.  I attend IEP and  504 meetings and file administrative complaints and due process proceedings in both Rhode Island and Massachusetts. I represent parents and students in disciplinary proceedings, including manifestation hearings, and Rhode Island Family Court in truancy matters.   I also assist parents with early intervention programs for younger students and help adult students with college and graduate schools.  I also assist clients with obtaining SSI and SSDI benefits,  employment, public accommodations, and other legal matters.   My goal is to help families and individuals in the most cost-effective way.
