NJ Education Law Firm
Lentz & Gengaro LLP is a NJ education law firm dedicated to helping parents with legal matters involving NJ school law. We offer comprehensive representation to families throughout New Jersey, seeking the educational and support services their children are entitled to under state and federal laws.
The maze of special needs education
Both federal and state laws exist regarding special education. However, children with disabilities may not receive all their entitled services. When a child has special educational needs, decisions about his or her education are made in individualized education program (IEP) meetings. Unfortunately, IEPs can often result in:
- Inaccurate evaluations
- Incorrect or ineffective conclusions
- Denial of services
An experienced NJ education lawyer can assist parents through many aspects of the special education system including:
- Tests
- Meetings
- Due process (litigation)
- IEP development and meetings
- Mediation and complaint resolution
Our special education attorneys in NJ are skilled negotiators and can help bring about a viable resolution to your children's issues without having to go to court. However, when an out-of-court resolution is not possible, our NJ education law firm stands ready to provide skilled and effective litigation to obtain the education and services your child is entitled to and deserves.
Contact our education law firm in NJ when civil rights is an issue
In addition to cases involving special education and due process matters, some cases may involve civil rights violations. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and other state and federal anti-discrimination laws can often be an element in education law cases. Consequently, retaining a competent attorney who is knowledgeable in civil rights laws can be vitally important in representing your child's interests in a case that involves harassment, intimidation, and/or bullying.
Our experienced education attorneys can handle any type of special education litigation and stand by you during the entire process. We can also handle claims against state agencies, such as the Division of Development Disabilities (DDD), litigation against universities, and civil rights litigation against private and public entities accused of discriminating against the disabled.
Our NJ education law firm is ensuring rights for the future
Regardless of your child's situation, he or she has the right to a public education. When your child is denied his or her rights, we all suffer a little. Today's children are tomorrow's future and our education law firm's experience with NJ education law can help ensure their rights are protected.
