We had sought legal assistance when dealt with an issue between our district and placement for our child with significant special needs. I was recommended to The Education Lawyers. From the consultation, record reviews, to building a case and further, I was kept informed and explained the process and what to expect/or could be expected from the very beginning. Steve and the staff there are extremely knowledgeable in PA educational law and the navigation of it all. I would hands down recommend them to anyone in need of legal assistance in regards to their childs education. I know should I run into issues down the road, my first call will be back to them. We are truly thankful for Steve and his assistance in getting our child in a setting he can flourish in.

Finding an attorney when your child's educational journey has been less than ideal is a daunting and emotionally exhausting task. Seeking legal help can feel seemingly impossible and overwhelming for families. Steve Jacobson and his team will put these fears at ease by providing top notch advice backed by superior knowledge of educational law in the state of Pennsylvania. From the moment we sought the free consultation, we were treated with dignity and respect, compassion and understanding for our unique situation with our son. Steve and Holly spent ample time reviewing years of records that I had kept, looking for evidence and building a case. Throughout the entire process, Steve was communicative, professional, and extremely timely. He ensured that we understood exactly what the process entailed, and was up front and honest about the timelines and the financials. From when we officially filed a due process complaint, through the outcome, there was never a time where we were unsure of what was happening or what our options were. We always knew exactly what was going on so that we could make the very best decisions in the educational interests of our child. Our interactions with the district were respectful and professional, and we truly felt that our son was the sole focus of the process, and in the end, we were extremely satisfied with the final outcome. There are many, many educational attorneys and advocates out there to choose from, and we would hands-down recommend The Educational Lawyers, Steve Jacobson and Holly John, without reservation. Thank you, Steve, for all that you did for our family!

I sought legal assistance for my child after his school removed him from his Individualized Education Plan (IEP). With failing grades, poor attendance, and escalating anxiety, I repeatedly requested that his plan be reinstated. Unfortunately, my pleas were ignored, and instead, they escalated the situation by sending us to court and citing him for truancy. I was stunned, I felt completely overwhelmed and at a loss for what to do next. That’s when Steve became an incredible ally. He took the time to thoroughly explain our rights and guided me step by step toward a resolution. Thanks to his support, my son is graduating this June, and I owe it to Steve and his team for helping us navigate through this incredibly challenging time. I’m beyond grateful for the team at Education Lawyers and wholeheartedly recommend their services!

Based on my concerns with the curriculum and services my son received through the public school district, I contacted The Education Lawyers. My son's IEP did not appropriately reflect his needs with regression periods due to COVID-19 and remote learning. Mr. Jacobson walked me through every step of the way, going above and beyond advocating for our family. While the process took some time, Mr. Jacobson pushed to get the best outcome in compensatory education funds for my son. I'd highly recommend Jacobson and John to any family seeking legal special education representation.

I highly recommend Steve Jacobson and his firm!

I contacted Steve for help navigating the complex process of reinstating my daughter’s eligibility for special education services.
From day one Steve listened to the background I provided and to the outcome we were hoping for with the school district. After reading through subsequent documentation I sent, he provided an honest assessment of our situation with realistic expectations. I never felt like just another client for Steve. He took our case personal and it was evident that he spent the time to gain a thorough understanding of my daughter’s history and that he truly cared.

Steve is extremely knowledgeable on the laws and procedures, and was consistently able to explain every stage of the process in a clear manner. His communication and follow through with both representatives of the school district and with me were excellent.

During a very stressful and emotional time, Steve was a calming, supporting force and very professional in his dealings with the school district. He was able to negotiate a successful outcome for my daughter. If any other issues arise with my daughter’s educational experience I would not hesitate to contact Steve again!

The Education Lawyers are nothing short of amazing to work with. Steve and Hollie are both so incredibly knowledgeable. They are excellent and timely communicators who educate you about legal processes and expectations. They make sure you understand and put your mind completely at ease. I sincerely appreciate how child and family focused they are. They put themselves in your shoes and understand the challenges your family is facing. They are 100% for your child’s best interest. As an advocate in the same community and a parent with 3 children with varying disabilities, Steve and Hollie are not only to whom I refer my clients, they are who I have trusted with my own childrens’ needs for more than a decade. In short, they are exemplary and you need not look any further. I wish could give more than 5 stars.
