Los Angeles Special Education Attorney – Protecting Your Child’s Rights

When your child struggles in school, the last thing you should have to fight for is the education they deserve. At Law Office of Janina Botchis - Speak For Your Child, we represent families across Los Angeles who need a strong voice in Individualized Education Program (IEP) meetings, 504 Plan negotiations, Independent Educational Evaluations (IEEs), and due process hearings.

Why Los Angeles Families Turn to Us

Parents often contact us after:

  • The school district refuses services or denies eligibility.

  • An IEP is written without considering the child’s real needs.

  • The district denies a request for an IEE or outside assessment.

  • A child faces bullying or exclusion instead of proper supports.

  • The school pushes a “functional” curriculum or inappropriate placement.

We understand the unique challenges within Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) and surrounding districts, and we hold them accountable to the requirements of IDEA, Section 504, and California Education Code.
