20+ Years Experience – Ready To Help You

I am a Mom of two adults with Disabilities. I have 20+ years of experience advocating for my own children and others. Attorneys hire me to provide legal research and consultation services because I know IDEA so well. I’ve exercised every procedural right for my children. At the end of our Due Process Hearing the School District Attorney said I was the “the best non-lawyer lawyer he had ever met.” I’ve written numerous State and Federal Complaints that have successfully forced change for systemic issues. I solely and proudly stopped an $800k Special Education Budget Cut in my local district by involving the US Dept of Education when the Utah State Board of Education refused to act. I am listed as an Advocate in the COPAA and Wrightslaw Advocacy Directories. My Special Education Law Mom You Tube Channel is regularly updated and contains over 50 videos of free content to help families learn more about the law. I understand the struggles that you have and I’m here to help you navigate the crazy and sometimes frustrating world of Special Education.

REVIEWS

Melissa Wallace gets the job done. After months of fighting the school district we hired her. She reminded the school of their obligation to follow the law and it made all the difference. Don’t continue wasting time, hire Melissa – you’ll be glad you did.
