"In these days, it is doubtful that any child may reasonably be expected to succeed in life if [s]he is denied the opportunity of an education. Such an opportunity, where the state has undertaken to provide it, is a right which must be made available to all on equal terms."
-Brown vs. Board of Education, 347 U.S. 483 (1954)

When you have a disagreement with your child's school, reaching a solution may not be as simple as scheduling a parent-teacher conference or calling the administrator. When the school is not providing your child with appropriate special education services, has disciplined unjustly, or is otherwise infringing on your child's rights, the assistance of an attorney may prove essential.
