When I initially engaged this firm to advocate for my daughter, I had confidence in the attorney who represented us, believing that she would fiercely defend my daughter's rights. I had clearly conveyed the extensive challenges my daughter faced with bullying at her school and the inadequate response from the school district. Towards the end of the school year, the situation had escalated to the point where my daughter spent her lunch periods in the office due to the relentless bullying. Despite repeatedly bringing these issues to the attention of the lawyer, she consistently downplayed their significance, dismissing them as minor concerns. However, the bullying had resulted in considerable emotional distress for my daughter, impacting not only her school life but also our home environment. Regrettably, my daughter experienced severe emotional strain, leading to multiple mental breakdowns and requiring treatment at a mental health clinic for over a week. Despite the challenges, I remained resolute in advocating for my daughter's education. However, after my daughter's time in the mental health clinic, the lawyer expressed an unwillingness to continue representing us. During our conversation, she indicated that my attempt to express my views on the school's approach signified a point at which she would cease representing us. This turn of events felt profoundly unfair, as I firmly believe that parents' perspectives should hold weight in matters concerning their child's education. Emphatically, I posit that this photo, depicting the $700 fee for my daughter's final Individualized Education Program (IEP) meeting at the school, juxtaposed with the limited opportunity for parental input during the meeting, encapsulates the imbalance of representation. My aim in recounting this experience is to caution others. It is not my intent to disparage this firm, but rather to prompt individuals to be discerning and pose pertinent questions during the initial consultation. While their fees may be reasonable, I assert that I am willing to invest significantly more for legal representation provided there is genuine advocacy for the cause. Although the lawyer representing us exhibited kindness and compassion at times, I cannot overlook the sense of being let down and deceived by the representation we received. The services crucial to my daughter were not only poorly defended but were further compromised during the duration of our engagement with this firm. Evidently, substantial financial resources were expended with limited benefit. In conclusion, I urge vigilance in the selection process and stress the importance of asking pertinent questions, as without due diligence, one may find oneself incurring significant expenses for a service that leaves much to be desired.

Angela and Savannah did amazing work with our due process hearing. They truly care about the children they represent and are passionate about their work. They exceeded my expectations and the outcome was very beneficial to my son. I don’t think any other law firm would’ve represented my son’s interests like this one. Angela was in constant communication with us during the whole process and explained the whole process, step by step, in a way we could understand. I could not recommend them highly enough. You will not find better representation than Angela and Savannah.

Angela and her team understand the challenges that many parents face when advocating on their own for their A-typical learner’s education. Murphy & Murphy have the knowledge and skill that can bring all sides together while ensuring that your child has a uniquely tailored plan and the appropriate support that will help them succeed. Kid tested and mother approved!

I found this law firm through a google search. I knew from my first conversation with Angela Murphy that I wanted her to represent me in the fight for an appropriate education for my son. She has vast knowledge in special education law, and she was honest with me about the process. She was thorough and with me every step of the way. She believed in my case and provided me excellent counsel. If I ever needed these services again I would only call her to represent me!

I would definitely recommend Angela for representation of anyone needing services in her specialty. She genuinely cares about her clients. She is thorough, on top of the situation at hand and stays in constant contact with her clients. If you need a lawyer to fight for the educational needs of your child, call Angela.
