FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

BERWYN, PA, July 2024: McAndrews, Mehalick, Connolly, Hulse and Ryan P.C. (MLO – McAndrews Law Offices) is honored to be voted 2024 Top Lawyers in Chester County in “School/Special Needs Law” by the readers of The Daily Local News! The publication has announced their “Fourth Annual Top Lawyers Readers’ Choice” section this month and states, “Through our online voting ballot we received thousands of votes from readers and peers who told us who excel at their profession and who they would call on in times of need. Our Top Lawyers list honors those law professionals who have made an impressive and lasting mark in Chester County”.

 

This award highlights the extraordinary work of both our Special Education and Estates and Trusts Departments. These Departments enjoy a national reputation for our work of over forty years advocating for families, including those with loved ones with disabilities in special education, disability law, abuse matters, and special needs planning, as well as pursuing the rights of students in Title IX gender discrimination cases. Our attorneys possess a broad range of experience, advanced degrees, and relevant educational backgrounds.

 

The attorneys in our Special Education Department work vigorously to obtain services for students with disabilities and are committed to providing access to extraordinary legal services to deserving families regardless of their ability to pay. The Estates and Trusts lawyers at McAndrews Law Offices assist individuals and families in developing comprehensive estate plans, and are leaders in assisting individuals with disabilities and their families through the creation and administration of critical estate plans with special needs trusts (SNT) – a sophisticated tool for protecting access to public benefits for persons with disabilities while affording the financial resources to improve their quality of life.

 

McAndrews Law Offices was founded in 1982 by Dennis McAndrews and has since expanded to include over 30 highly skilled lawyers and professional staff members. We have multiple office locations throughout Pennsylvania, Delaware, and the Metropolitan Washington, D.C. area. From all of us here at MLO, we are incredibly thankful for this honor and recognition, and look forward to continuing to provide you and your families with exceptional legal representation!
