Our Firm

We Understand Because We've Been There

Our team brings together diverse perspectives and expertise. Many of our attorneys and paralegals are former school psychologists, social workers, special education teachers, ABA instructors, and school district litigators. Some of us are also parents of children with disabilities.

Expertise built on collaboration and care.

At SkyerLaw, we bring deep subject-matter knowledge and hands-on experience to every special education matter we handle. We work closely with leading professionals in child development, autism, learning disabilities, and mental health, and we maintain strong relationships across the special education community. Our attorneys regularly visit and evaluate the special education schools and programs that support our clients, allowing us to provide informed, practical guidance tailored to each child’s unique needs. We also collaborate frequently with outside experts to ensure our advocacy reflects the most current educational practices and legal developments in this constantly evolving field.

We pride ourselves on being accessible, responsive, and highly organized. Our attorneys are readily available to clients and committed to responding to questions and concerns promptly. Our dedicated, full-time paralegal team handles reimbursement claims efficiently and carefully, supported by a sophisticated digital system that allows us to track records, manage documentation, and process payments accurately and without unnecessary delay.

SkyerLaw has built a strong record of success in tuition reimbursement matters, both through impartial hearings and negotiated resolutions. We approach each case with meticulous preparation, strategic insight, and a clear focus on achieving meaningful outcomes for families, while minimizing stress and uncertainty throughout the process.

Mentorship Program

Our collaborative, team-based approach means that every client benefits not just from one attorney, but from the collective insight, strategy, and experience of our entire firm. Our attorneys are supported by a hands-on mentorship program that is designed to cultivate excellence from the very start. New attorneys are paired one-on-one with a law partner for their first year, ensuring close guidance, practical training, and meaningful experience from day one.

We are deeply committed to staying at the forefront of special education law. All of our attorneys, at every stage of their careers, regularly attend advanced professional conferences, monitor evolving legal developments, and present on emerging issues and timely topics in the field. This commitment to ongoing education allows us to provide informed, cutting-edge advocacy for the families we serve.

Families come to us when they need support most.

Early years: When a child is first identified with developmental delays or disabilities and needs preschool special education services.
Turning Five: When families prepare for the kindergarten transition.
School-age: When a student begins struggling in general education, typically around second or third grade, as academic demands increase.
Adolescence: When social or emotional challenges start affecting a tween or teen’s learning, health, or overall well-being.

“We want to thank you for assigning our case to Mary Park, who has been nothing short of an ace. We both work with professional service professionals regularly, and she is easily one of the best we've come across – both as a subject matter expert and [in terms of] interpersonal skills.”
