On a chilly day in December of 1996, a miracle happened. On that cold December day, Brett Fein, the third of four children born to me, Joseph Fein and my wife, came into the world. He was early. Very early.
Special needs and disability education attorney Joseph M. Fein understands the unique challenges facing children with disabilities and the families of those children. As the parent of a special needs child, Mr. Fein has firsthand experience in managing the difficult legal and practical issues facing the disabled. You can depend on him for compassionate, effective and efficient counsel.
Mr. Fein earned his law degree from the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law at Yeshiva University in New York City. He is a former assistant district attorney in Queen’s County and chief litigator for the New York City Off-Track Betting Corporation. Mr. Fein is a skilled negotiator and an effective trial lawyer with the experience needed to protect your child’s rights and interests in school disciplinary hearings.

Representing the Educational Interests of All Children
Our New York special education attorney will aggressively represent your child and family's rights and interests at a variety of special needs disciplinary hearings on matters involving:
- Violence
- Drugs
- Weapons
- Sexual assault
- Insubordination of teachers
- Assaults on teachers
- Computer harassment
If your child is accused of violating school policy, he or she has a right to one of the following hearings - a superintendent's hearing, principal's hearing, IEP manifestation hearing, disciplinary or due process hearing. We can present persuasive evidence and witnesses to benefit your child's side of the story and to negotiate skillfully on your behalf.
Repeated in-school or out-of-school suspensions are often a knee-jerk reaction by school officials and ultimately not the adequate answer to recurring disciplinary problems. Many times, a more creative solution is in order. We do everything we can to promote a continued positive relationship between you, your student and the school district. We handle appeals of disciplinary decisions as well.
When behavioral problems arise with your child and disciplinary hearings are looming, our New York law firm wants to hear your story. These hearings are discretionary for schools, but we have years of experience in bringing order to what may seem like a chaotic situation. Please don't hesitate to contact us if we can be of service.
