When fighting for tuition at special education schools, we stand ready to guide you through the labyrinth that looms between your child and the education they deserve. From IEP meetings to federal appeals, Gottlieb & Wang LLP will provide diligent guidance and full-throated advocacy of your child's interests.
SUSPENSION HEARINGS
Even one suspension can gravely impact your child's emotional wellbeing and academic success. Gottlieb & Wang LLP has extensive experience with suspension hearings and direct, child-focused advocacy. Whether your child attends public or private school, we can help.
STATE AND FEDERAL APPEALS
Few parents envision themselves appealing to state or federal court on behalf of their child. Don't allow yourself to be discouraged; as daunting as the process may seem, we have extensive appellate experience and we are prepared to advocate for your rights at every level necessary.
TRANSPORTATION
In securing an appropriate education, it can be easy to overlook the arrangement of suitable transportation services. Whether you’re looking for limited-time travel or reimbursement of private transportation expenses, we can give you the strategic and logistical support you need to succeed.
TESTING ACCOMMODATIONS, HIGHER EDUCATION, AND PROFESSIONAL LICENSURE
Whether your child needs accommodations for standardized testing, you wish to file an appeal to the New York State Education Department, or need an advocate who is well-versed in the Americans with Disabilities Act, the attorneys of Gottlieb & Wang LLP are here for you.
INDEPENDENT EDUCATIONAL EVALUATIONS
Are you concerned that your child has undiagnosed special needs? If so, you may be interested in pursuing an Independent Educational Evaluation at public expense. Our attorneys can help you navigate the process to help you develop a clear picture of your child's educational needs and abilities.
DISCRIMINATION LITIGATION
Are you concerned that you or a family member might be experiencing discrimination on the basis of disability, religion, race, sex, gender, national origin, or age? Whether it be in the employment or educational context, we can help assert your rights and secure you the environment and respect you deserve.
PRO BONO IMMIGRATION CASES AND APPEALS
We take on a select number of pro bono immigration cases, with a focus on immigrant children and unaccompanied minors, including through pro bono programs with the federal courts and through partnerships with dedicated nonprofits. Further, we recognize that immigrant communities may lack the resources to understand their educational and legal rights, and we consciously work to serve as a bridge between the legal profession and the families who feel that, for them, the law is out of reach.
