Our Services
The Law Office of Janina Botchis provides a wide range of services designed to support parents in navigating the complex world of special education and ensuring that their child receives the appropriate services and accommodations required by law.
Free Consultation and Case Evaluation: The firm offers an initial consultation to discuss your child's educational needs and review any concerns you have regarding their current educational program. I will evaluate your child’s situation, review educational records, and provide legal advice on the next steps.
IEP Representation and Advocacy: I will represent you during Individualized Education Program (IEP) meetings, ensuring that the IEP is appropriately tailored to your child's unique needs and that you are able to advocate for necessary services, supports, and accommodations.
Independent Educational Evaluation (IEE) Assistance: If you disagree with the school’s evaluation of your child, the firm can assist you in requesting an Independent Educational Evaluation (IEE) at the school district’s expense, and ensure that the process is handled according to legal standards.
Legal Action: The firm represents parents in resolving disputes with school districts through mediation, due process hearings, and state complaints. I work to achieve the best possible outcome for your child, whether through negotiation or formal legal action.
Ongoing Support: The firm provides ongoing legal support and advice as your child’s needs evolve over time, ensuring that their educational plan continues to meet their needs and that their rights are always protected.
These services are designed to empower parents, protect their child’s educational rights, and ensure that children with special needs receive the appropriate education and support necessary to thrive.
