Client Testimonials

 

“Our son was a gifted student who always did well in school. However, he began having real difficulty in going to school and was diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder and school phobia. None of the IEP’s that the school district put forth came close to meeting our son’s needs. Rather than a helpful attitude, the school district took an adversarial position towards our family. In the absence of any constructive ideas from the school district, and after several months with no effective plan in place, we took it upon ourselves to hire an educational consultant. The consultant recommended therapeutic boarding schools in the West. Following his advice, we sent our son to two schools he recommended and our son received his high school diploma from a school in Montana three years later.

The educational consultant also recommended that we hire an attorney so that we could try to get help from our school district in paying the staggering amount of $ 6,000 per month that the schools in the West cost. That’s when we first met Dennis, and he agreed to take our case.

Through his knowledge, professionalism, and compassion, he gave us what we needed most at that time-hope. Besides his legal expertise, he united our family again and gave us the confidence that things would work out. His instincts for our case proved effective in dealing with a very obstinate school district, and he not only implemented an agreement with our school district that they would pay 100 % of our son’s schooling in the West, but he negotiated a settlement whereby the district also was forced to pay all of our family’s traveling expenses when visiting our son (more than 14 trips in all). Needless to say, we owe Dennis a huge debt of gratitude. We feel that he is in the top of his field in educational law.

A happy footnote to our case: Our son graduated summa cum laude from college and has been accepted for graduate study at the University of Chicago.”

– Mr. and Mrs. B

 

“Dennis was instrumental in helping my daughter during a difficult time in her life and I am grateful to him for that. He had a better understanding of how to deal with a troubled pre-teen than many of the educators and psychologists in my local school district. I have highly recommended him to others looking for an educational attorney.”

“I did not know how to implement specifics into my Last Will and Testament until Attorney Lesley Mehalick discussed different options with me. With her help, I made my decisions, and she incorporated my wishes into the final document. Having my documents notarized during this pandemic seemed very difficult, but the firm implemented an excellent solution and I was able to have all of the documents notarized. Thank you, McAndrews Law!

–K.S.

 

“This experience has been a rollercoaster ride fighting for the educational needs for my daughter. There is no “I” in team and a mom going against a school district alone wasn’t enough. Adding Heather Hulse and Roseann to our team was the best decision I ever made. Yes, the rollercoaster ride was long and bumpy but very well worth it. Both Heather and Roseann were amazing. They are kind and compassionate and most of all I truly respect their honesty of being upfront and saying how things may or may not go! I will forever be grateful and recommend McAndrews Law!”

“The best experience was Dennis asking me about my son and his educational program. He identified a need to renew my case, offered to review my son’s files and we ultimately determined that his school had basically failed to support him in the way he needs. I feel that finding this out and attempting to correct it will help my son live up to his potential and help him achieve his dreams of living an independent life – Thank you!”
