Los Angeles special education attorney

Georgianna has been licensed to practice law since 1998 and she has been representing students with disabilities and their families since 2009.  Located in Los Angeles, California, she represents special needs students throughout all Districts in California. We represent the parents and child throughout the student’s eligibility for special education services. In California, this period starts when the child turns 3 years of age and ends at the age of 22 years old. Students with disabilities are legally permitted until the age of 22 to obtain their diploma or certificate of completion.

Our law firm solely focuses its practice on the representation of students with disabilities. Our practice serves children with a full spectrum of minor and major needs and challenges, including Autism, Specific Learning Disabilities like Dyslexia, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, behavioral deficits, etc. Read our IEP page for a full list of areas of needs qualifying Students for special education services. Georgianna personally handles every stage of the process, from client intake to IEP to Due Process or Fair Hearings and Appeals. She does not farm out her cases to other lawyers because she simply does not believe anyone can match her desire and drive to obtain the required results for your child and applies the same vigor she does when advocating for her own child, no holds barred. 

Having conducted over 1200 Individualized Education Program (IEP) meetings in her career and settled millions of dollars in private school tuition with school Districts, Georgianna handles all aspects of special education litigation - including special education Informal Dispute Resolutions, Mediations, Due Process Hearings, and federal district court and appellate litigation. Georgianna attends the IEP meeting as well Section 504 Plan meetings. She handles all Office for Civil Rights Complaints (OCR) and Compliance Complaints with the California Department of Education (CDE) and also assists families with Regional Center related matters including Fair Hearings.
