I represent charter schools, private K-12 schools, public and private higher-education institutions and other education-related businesses in all aspects of their businesses. As the former the former General Counsel of the largest nonprofit charter school network in Arizona, I have experience with all the legal needs of a charter school or network of schools. I work with a number of charter schools with special education matters and I have experience dealing with a wide range of day-to-day issues, as well as interactions with state and federal authorities, internal investigations, accreditation, and compliance matters.

My interest in special education law began long before law school when my younger brother was diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome. From then, I became fascinated with special education law, and I saw the benefits that can come to students who are given the services they need to succeed. Unfortunately, not every school does a good job, and parents often need help navigating the system and advocating for their children.  To that end, I also represent parents of children who have special needs. I also represent students that need help with discipline, athletics, or other issues related to school.

I represent K-12 and university students regarding discipline matters, constitutional issues, athletic eligibility, Greek life issues, academic program eligibility, contracts and disputes, and a variety of other matters.
