We initially attempted to navigate the special needs education system on our own but we quickly learned that without strong legal support Sabrina the District would not listen to us.Sabrina listened really listened to our story and what we wanted for our son. And then she fought for us and alongside us ALL summer long. Two days before school started we FINALLY got the District to agree to everything we felt was appropriate for our special needs son and his unique needs. Two days Now school has started and our boy is absolutely thriving in his general education placement and he is growing more independent by the day.Sabrina is kind caring honest direct and she will fight for your children. We cant say enough good things about her and we give her our highest recommendation.Thank you Sabrina

We worked with Sabrina over the course of three years on various issues related to our childs IEP and we couldnt be more impressed with her services. She came highly recommended and exceeded all of our expectations. Sabrina is compassionate patient strategic and incredibly knowledgeable about specialeducation law. She helped us rewrite existing goals and craft additional goals that were actually measurable and focused on our childs needs. She provided invaluable advice that allowed us to achieve our objectives in the most cost-effective way eventually filing a due process complaint on our behalf. Her familiarity with key players in our local school district made a huge difference as they very clearly respected her advocacy. We are grateful for her guidance and highly recommend her

We had such a wonderful experience working with Sabrina and her team. We had already been in a long battle with the school district because our sons current placement was no longer working...to the point where it had become detrimental. We proposed a different placement to a school where we knew our son would thrive. But the district promptly denied the request for the new placement. It was at that time we hired Sabrina. Sabrina was very thorough attentive and fought hard for our son. In the end Sabrina successfully got the district to agree to the new placement and our son is thriving Its unfortunate that school districts often push back against parents who are only trying to advocate for their children. So ifwhen this happens call Sabrina

Sharing a true success story. Our 17 year old daughter will join her senior class 100 in Fall of 2024 After residential treatment school placement in 2022 2 years of IEP and transitional work Sabrina has been guiding us every step through our journey. Sabrina is amazing with her ability to see the issues and get the team working together. We are happy and proud parents of our girl. No words can express what we all have been through to get here. Thank you Sabrina

We hired Sabrina because we werent getting traction from the school district for an NPS placement or even just plans in general for students transitioning out of elementary school. Sabrina stepped in and was a strong advocate for our childs needs and now were happy with our movement now. Sabrina also provided extremely helpful coaching and guidance. Definitely recommended for families who need support for their special needs children.

Sabrina and the team at Axt Legal were a critical ally in our fight to ensure the best outcome for our son. They helped us navigate the IEE process pick the 3rd party assessors interpret the results and prepare for the IEP meeting. Sabrina is smart tough and knows all the complicated nuances of the law. The fee structure allows a lot of flexibility in choosing how much to take on yourself versus leveraging Sabrina more directly. Shes happy to function as a resource and let you take the lead or have a more direct role in the process. We would absolutely recommend Axt Legal to any parents out there who need help navigating the system.

Sabrina was an invaluable asset to us as we navigated the complexities of our teenagers IEP. Her thoroughness and attention to detail are excellent. Her ability to understand our childs needs was superb. Without her assistance we would have never made the progress that we did this year. Thank you Sabrina We cant recommend her enough should you find yourself in similar circumstances.

We are very thankful that we had Sabrina on our side. Not only is she great at what she does but she also walked us through the entire process. She is the fighter you want in your corner. I would never go through another IEP without someone on our side and Sabrina is the person we would turn to. If the time comes we would want to work with her again. We have and will continue to recommend her because at the end of the day she was the key to making sure our child was put in a position to feel success in school.

I am an attorney and Sabrina was referred to me by a number of attorneys. While I knock on wood do not need to retain Sabrina yet I will in the event that we need to hire attorney. She took the time to walk me through my sons current IEP process provided me with a thoughtful strategynext steps and she promptly gave me several referrals for advocates that could also be of assistance. She truly is knowledgeable and is an incredible resource in this field and I will not hesitate to hire her if we reach the point where we need to involve an attorney in the process.

Our family has been fortunate to have Sabrinas knowledge awareness kindness and understanding throughout a very lengthy and difficult IEP process. Without her expert guidance we would have remained mired in the public school system. Thank you Sabrina for gifting us an accommodating education for my grandson. He finally has his chance to shine and succeed.I highly recommend your excellent service to anyone needing help navigating the public school system and advocating for the rights of students with disabilities.Sabrina is a treasure to her clients - the students she represents.Thank you
