Distinguished Lawyer

Peter D. Hoffman Other www.pdhoffmanlaw.com/

I am an attorney whose practice concentrates on special education law on behalf of children and parents. I concentrated my practice in this area for twenty-eight years. I help and represent disabled children and their families seeking a free and appropriate education, (FAPE). I am committed to advocating for families needing the advocacy of a special education law attorney. I understand the unique challenges that come with ensuring your child receives the appropriate educational services and accommodations. I work for rights of students with disabilities, providing legal support to secure individualized education plans (IEPs), and contesting school district decisions in administrative Special Education Impartial hearings, administrative appeals and related state and federal litigation. For the past three years, I have also been a New York State Department of Education Impartial Hearing Officer.

"I consulted with Peter for a personal matter, and I was impressed by the level of professionalism, knowledge, and approachability all packaged into the initial conversation. Expectations and a roadmap were clearly articulated, and his office (Toni) timely and professionally forwarded the appropriate paperwork. This is a law firm firing on all cylinders, and one where you can feel comfortable with no matter what struggles you may be having with your little one's needs. If you or your loved one, or a relative, neighbor, friend, coworker, or any other individual is experiencing difficulty with IEPs, EI, CPSE, or any other educational law issue, whether administratively with the school district, at the IHO phase, or facing litigation in court, you need to call Peter to set up an appointment to learn how he can help you and your family."
