Lara uses her experience as a special education attorney, public school teacher, and mother to best advocate for your children.

Lara's passion as a special education attorney was always helping the little ones. Her understanding for parents is enhanced by her own experience of navigating early intervention and preschool-level services for her son. Her patience and compassion are much needed and always welcomed by parents who are dealing with the overwhelming and emotional tasks of addressing their child’s earliest educational challenges.

When I started the IEP process for my son I was extremely overwhelmed. Lara helped support and educate us, giving my husband and me the confidence to go into our meetings knowing we could hold our own and get the best possible outcomes for our son. There is no better feeling as a parent than knowing he is getting the support he needs to succeed and excel in school.
— Rebecca, Mom to Son Henry (Age 4)
 

 
Lara is like a Mary Poppins for special needs parents. Kind and compassionate, and full of information and insider tricks, she makes a difficult time much more bearable. You don’t need to get a law degree or a therapist — just hire Lara!
— Amy, Mom to Son Leo (Age 5)
 

 
We quickly turned to Lara for advice and guidance when our daughter was being evaluated at school for special services. Lara was able to answer all of our questions and provide insight on the best questions to ask and how to move things along. Her help at our meeting was invaluable. We can’t thank her enough for her continued support and knowledge.
— Dabney, Mom to Daughter Poppy (Age 7)
 

 
The process felt overwhelming, but Lara simplified everything to make it manageable. I felt lost and didn’t know where to begin. Lara walked me through everything. She is kind, patient and answered every silly question I had. We are so lucky to have found her.
— Jodi, Mom to Daughter Ava (Age 2.5)
