New York State Special Education Lawyers

Children with disabilities and special needs have a guaranteed right to receive an education that meets their unique needs. Unfortunately, the special education process can be exceedingly complex and overwhelming for those unaware of New York’s special education law.

At Tully Rinckey, our New York special education lawyers work with parents to ensure that their children receive a free and appropriate public education. Our attorneys will fight on your behalf to ensure your child is set up in an educational setting that allows them to make meaningful progress and receive the education they deserve.

Experienced New York Special Education Lawyers

Our legal team understands the frustration that parents experience when a school district fails to provide their child with a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE). Despite what the school district may say, your child has a right to receive a FAPE, and the school district is required to provide your child with appropriate special education services, appropriate annual measurable goals, and evaluate your child at its expense. Tully Rinckey can provide your unique child with a unique legal approach to achieve these goals.
