EDUCATION LAW
As a parent, you are your child's first advocate. Yet, many families face a battle when it comes to addressing the needs of their child in the school setting. As a parent and lawyer, Attorney Crist knows all too well the hard work and determination it takes to obtain an appropriate educational plan. Equally critical is ensuring these plans are complied with. Anything to do with a child is deeply personal. Decisions concerning educational plans, compliance with these plans or how a problem such as bullying is resolved is critical to your child not just today, but for your child's long-term well-being and success.
Federal and state laws mandate that every child has the right to a free and appropriate public education (FAPE) according to his or her individual needs. A solid understanding of education related laws and procedures is necessary to ensure children are provided the education they deserve.
