The IEP Lawyers: Fighting for Your Child's Educational and Civil Rights.
Your Child's Future is Worth Fighting For. We Hold Schools Accountable.
The IEP Lawyers exclusively represent students and families in Alabama, Florida, and beyond in IEP disputes, unfair discipline, bullying, and civil rights violations.
We only represent families, never school districts, administrators, or teachers. Our loyalty is to your child, always.
When your child's education and well-being are on the line, you need more than just an advocate. You need a dedicated ally who is free from any conflict of interest, an attorney whose only mission is to protect your child's rights.
At The IEP Lawyers, we have made a clear and unwavering choice: our sole focus is on students and their families. This singular commitment ensures our advocacy is always uncompromised and our focus is always on achieving the best possible outcome for your child.
Is Your Child Facing...?
Parents contact us when the system fails their child. We have the experience and dedication to intervene and demand accountability when your child is facing challenges such as:
IEP Denial or Insufficient Services: The school is refusing to provide an Individualized Education Program (IEP) or 504 Plan, or the plan they have offered is inadequate to meet your child's unique needs.
Unfair Suspension or Expulsion: Your child is being disciplined for behavior that is a manifestation of their disability, or the school is using "informal removals" to illegally exclude them from the classroom.
Discrimination and Civil Rights Violations: Your child is being treated unfairly, segregated, or denied opportunities because of their disability, in violation of federal laws like the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), bullied or harassed, etc.
Failure to Accommodate: The school is ignoring your child's needs, refusing to implement agreed-upon accommodations, or failing to provide a safe and accessible learning environment.
Why Choose The IEP Lawyers?
In a complex legal landscape, your choice of representation matters. Our firm is built on three core principles that set us apart and provide a powerful advantage to the families we serve.
An Unconflicted Advocate in Your Corner
Our firm maintains an unbreakable ethical line: we only represent students and their families. Unlike firms that may also represent teachers or school administrators, our loyalty is never divided. We have never been on a school district's payroll. This "Outsider Advantage" means we approach every case with a clear, independent perspective, free from institutional bias or past allegiances. Our only objective is to secure your child's rights. This directly counters the approach of competitors who may represent both parents and educators, which can create potential conflicts of interest.
Fearless Litigators for Your Child's Civil Rights
While we are skilled negotiators who always seek to resolve disputes collaboratively, we are, first and foremost, trial attorneys. We prepare every case as if it will go to court. When a school district's failure becomes a violation of your child's fundamental civil rights, advocacy is not enough. Action is required. Our firm is built to take that action, filing lawsuits under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and other civil rights statutes to hold systems accountable and secure justice—and monetary damages—for the harm done to your child.
A Compassionate, Trauma-Informed Approach
We understand that by the time you are seeking a lawyer, your family is under immense stress. You are likely frustrated, worried, and exhausted from fighting a bureaucratic system. Our entire process is designed to be supportive, transparent, and empowering.1 We listen to your story first. We explain complex legal concepts in plain, clear language. We validate your experience and treat you as a partner in the process. You are the expert on your child; we are the experts on the law. Together, we build the strongest possible case.

What Our Families Say
"When the district told us 'no' for the last time, the IEP Lawyers fought for our son and secured the services he desperately needed. We finally felt heard and understood."
"I was overwhelmed and didn't know where to turn. From the first call, they treated me with compassion and respect. They explained everything and gave me hope when I had none."
“When the district refused to give my son services that were approved in his IEP, Williams & Moore made sure he received services and more.”
Serving Families In Crisis
Dedicated Legal Support for Families in Alabama and Florida
Our firm is strategically focused on serving families in Alabama and Florida, with deep knowledge of the specific challenges and systemic issues present in each state's education system.
For Alabama Families: We are closely monitoring the systemic issues within the state's education and foster care systems, including the Department of Justice's findings of civil rights violations. We are prepared to litigate on behalf of families in districts across the state, including Jefferson County, Madison City, Houston County, Montgomery City, and DeKalb County
For Florida Families: Our data-driven approach has identified specific "pockets of opportunity" where school districts have a documented history of non-compliance. We are actively taking cases against districts with known issues, such as Pasco County, Volusia County, Duval County, Polk County, Hillsborough County, and Monroe County, to fight against illegal discipline and segregation
