New York City Special Needs Lawyer
At the Law Offices of Joseph M. Fein, we provide a voice for the voiceless: children with learning, physical and developmental disabilities. Our law firm's founder, Joseph Fein, can make a difference in your disabled child's life.
Children with disabilities have a legal right to a free and appropriate public education. If your child is disabled but is not receiving those mandated special education and related services, contact us by phone, fax or e-mail for an initial consultation in Hewlett or Manhattan.
An Attorney Who Understands
The personal experience Joseph Fein has gained by parenting and advocating for the legal rights of his own special needs child can assist you in making sense of the special education maze and identifying your child’s educational needs. We help you understand what educational options are available and how to present your disabled child’s case to the Committee on Special Education.
