Michael J. Eig and Associates, P.C. represents families from the greater Washington, D.C. area who are involved in special education proceedings at local and federal level. Attorneys help secure appropriate special education for students such as educational supports, accommodations and classes, speech/language therapy, physical therapy, Occupational Therapy, and mental health services. They work with families, professionals, and school systems to identify what children need to be successful in school. Families are supported in all aspects of the special education process from initial identification, through IEP meetings, Due Process appeal or mediation, and, when necessary, federal court litigation. Michael J. Eig & Associates also assist families with long-term financial planning for their children with special needs through estate planning. The goal is to improve the quality of life for the children with whom we work, with a dual focus on their educational rights as well as special needs estate planning.
