Hertog Education Law - IEP Attorney - Making School Work

2025 was one of the most difficult years of my life as a parent navigating special education. My daughter was in a placement that was no longer appropriate for her needs, and the process of finding a better solution felt overwhelming and complex. I strongly believed she would thrive in her district of residence, but advocating for that outcome felt daunting and isolating. That changed when Allison became involved. Allison is an expert in her field and a fierce advocate for children with IEPs. She approaches her work with professionalism, integrity, and an unwavering focus on what is truly best for the student. The area of DHH is a complicated and often misunderstood part of special education, and Allison demonstrated deep knowledge, careful research, and a clear understanding of students

Allison is an excellent attorney and Ed Advocate. She's highly experienced. She cares deeply about the children's educational and support needs. She is efficient and mindful of everyone's time. She is clear, trustworthy and fair. Thanks to Allison's representation we've had great success in a very difficult situation. We highly recommend her!!

We are so glad and thankful that we found Allison's services and she was able to take on our case. Allison is very detailed and thorough;. She made the process of dealing with our school district through this difficult process easy and handled everything. She helped us understand what was and was not prudent for us, and fought for our sons needs.

Choosing Hertog Education was one of the best decisions I ever made. I had consultations with other firms but none of them seemed to have the knowledge and personal experience that Allison had. There was consistent communication and clear explanations that ensured I understood every step of the legal process. I cannot recommend her enough to anyone that has to seek legal representation for IEP needs.

We can’t thank Allison enough for helping us through such an emotional and confusing process with LAUSD. From our very first conversation, she made us feel heard and supported. She genuinely cared about our child and what our family was going through. Even during the moments when we felt completely overwhelmed, Allison was there to guide us step by step, always patient, kind, and honest. She explained every option clearly, never rushed us, and made sure we understood what was happening. While we are still in the process of getting our son an IEP and the behavioral supports in place, the strides we’ve made with Allison’s leadership have made this journey so much more attainable. For the first time, we can truly see the light at the end of the tunnel.
