Special Education

The Law Office of Joan H. Proper, PC, is committed to families. Our attorney has worked in Prince William County, and Northern Virginia, for many years as a lawyer and an educator. She represents clients in Fairfax County, Prince William County, Loudoun County, Arlington, Alexandria City, Manassas City, and in other jurisdictions.  Our firm's commitment to legal advocacy and dispute resolution is evident in our representation in juvenile/young adult cases and education, including special education, issues as well as divorce. We will help you and your loved ones to move toward a successful and positive future.

For students who need legal assistance with education issues like enrollment; language access; special education access, testing or services; and school discipline. We can help students communicate with schools about their legal rights, work with students and parents to ensure that they can effectively communicate with schools about students’ needs (e.g. language access issues), work with students on IEP and special-needs related issues (including attending IEP meetings), and help students in discipline hearings or petitions.

 When referring, please direct students and parents to contact our main referral line and leave a message, 703-778-3450. They should leave a message with their name and phone number and our legal assistant will promptly return their call. They must leave a message to get in contact with us – there is often no person available to answer the phone directly. Note also that there are no walk-in hours on Fridays.
