Bruce Bothwell Law Office

Prior to becoming a sole practitioner, Mr. Bothwell practiced with the law firms of Grisham, Vandenberg, Nott Conway & Cannon as well as Pray, Price, Williams & Russell. As a partner he received an ”AV” rating with Martindale Hubbell, the national attorney rating service, the highest possible rating for professional competence and ethical excellence. As a result of his personal experiences contending with his local school district and regional center, in 1997 Bruce changed his practice area to the representation of children with disabilities and their parents under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. The representation of disabled children and their parents under the IDEA and the Lanterman Act state disability statute are Bruce’s sole areas of practice. He has represented clients in dozens of due process mediations and has tried over 30 due process hearings under the IDEA, to completion. He has also handled numerous cases in federal district and appellate court.
