ABOUT YOUR ADVOCATE - LISA
For 18 years, I was rocking the courtroom as a trial paralegal, mastering the art of legal kung fu. But that was just the beginning! For the past 12 years, I’ve been channeling that same passion and expertise into being a fierce special education advocate, championing the rights of special needs families across the nation.
Advocacy isn’t just my passion—it’s my superpower! As a well-educated, Wrightslaw, and COPAA-trained advocate, I’m like a Swiss Army multi-tool for special education. Need a skilled ally to attend those crucial school meetings? I’m there! Want a document detective to review your child’s paperwork? That’s me! I’m your go-to guru for identifying next steps, crafting powerhouse parent agendas, and turning IEP goals into masterpieces.
My toolkit is packed with gadgets to help you navigate the educational labyrinth. I’ll be your trusty sidekick, ensuring that IEP says exactly what it should, drafting letters that would make Shakespeare proud, and, if needed, drafting complaints with the precision of a legal virtuoso.
I’ve navigated the twisty corridors of school districts more times than I’ve reheated my coffee (and that’s saying something). Armed with knowledge, fueled by determination, and powered by an endless supply of sticky notes, I’m on a mission to help parents find their inner roar!
My ultimate superpower? Turning mild-mannered parents into confident advocates faster than you can say “Free Appropriate Public Education.” I’m not just passing the torch; I’m lighting a bonfire of empowerment for families everywhere.
So, if you’re ready to transform from timid to tenacious, join me in the adventure of advocacy. Together, we’ll write the next chapter in the thrilling saga of educational justice!
Remember: In the story of your child’s education, you’re not just a supporting character – you’re the hero. And I’m here to help you don your cape and soar to new heights of advocacy awesomeness!

What Our Families Are Saying
I would choose a strong advocate like Lisa over a lawyer any day.
Parent of a 2nd grader
Lisa has been amazing for us, and this year has really started on the right track, and I give all the credit to her. She really got through to my daughter's team when I couldn't.
Parent of a 5th Grader
Lisa - thank you again for all your help. I was just sitting here thinking about how great you have been with guiding us through this process and getting our son what he needs. Sometimes it takes simple words and communication with the school. Most importantly, understanding what and how to ask for it.
Parent of an 8th Grader
I wish we had prior advocates step up and put a pause on things. I'm learning a lot and part of that is being more comfortable saying no or pushing back. You are helping build my confidence when it comes to dealing with the special education process and just dealing with the district.
Parent of an 9th Grader
Thank you for being on top of this. As stressful as this process is, it's been less so knowing you are catching everything I miss and holding the school accountable.
