https://www.spencerwalshlaw.com Tracey Spencer Walsh is a special education lawyer Mon, 08 May 2023 16:54:24 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.7 https://www.spencerwalshlaw.com/ducks-in-a-row/#comment-41 Sat, 24 Nov 2018 08:53:38 +0000 http://www.pirenko.com/seven/?p=35#comment-41 Tracey Spencer Walsh is a God-send to children and young adults with special educational needs. She brings both passion and competence to her calling. On the one hand, she is deeply, personally, and emotionally devoted to assuring that these vulnerable individuals are allowed to benefit from the rights, opportunities, and accommodations that the law provides. On the other hand, she has the legal skills and knowledge to prevail against the better-funded school district in-house lawyers and hired-guns. Tracey’s legal and factual research is solid. Her manor before magistrates is poised and eloquent. Apart from the specific cases of which I am aware (including my son), there must by now be hundreds of individuals who owe their educational opportunities to Tracey’s efforts.

Thanks to Tracey and her team, we received reimbursement of 100% of tuition fees from the NYC Department of Education. My son is so happy at school; he is so much more confident – improvements have been tremendous! It was a marathon, but Tracey’s unwavering support in a very difficult situation and proactive approach got us to where we needed to be. I believe Tracey’s extensive networking in the autism world helped us stay ahead of the game. In my case, Tracey was first to recognize a political issue causing a delay in getting my settlement agreement signed – we quickly addressed this head on and got past it. I’m grateful that Tracey is so observant and involved in the special needs arena, far beyond her office.

At first, we were extremely frightened about how we would approach obtaining the best education support offered by NYC DOE. After meeting Tracey Spencer Walsh, Esq. and her team at an NYU conference on Autism, we knew right then and there we had a parent advocate and legal support that could not only help navigate the complex process, but also be there when we needed her as counsel. Tracey Spencer Walsh is an amazing attorney, and delivered beyond our expectations in meeting the needs of our child, Colin, and our family. We were able to settle with the DOE in the smartest way possible for the first and second year of Colin’s schooling. The settlements obtained by Tracey and her firm were above expectations and we are grateful to have Tracey Spencer Walsh, Esq. working as a representative for our son, Colin

We had settled earlier than ever before, received excellent guidance and communication, and feel we are in the best of hands. The fact that her fees are substantially more affordable than any other attorney we’ve worked with is a true blessing. Thank you, Tracey, you are THE best.

In addition, Ms. Walsh is easy to work with in that she is very clear in her requirements, helpful in resolving problems, and always aware the details I may I have missed. I have no reservations in offering her my recommendation.

They never followed her recommended IEP, and when the elementary school gave her a 504 plan, at the start of Middle School the district removed the Plan without notifying me or my husband. The district gave my daughter a middle school diploma even though she had bad grades the whole time. In high school, she continued to struggle and started avoiding school. I didn’t know the law then. I am a Spanish-speaking immigrant and we don’t know what our legal rights are for school issues. I believed the school staff until I started to research how I could help my daughter. I decided I needed a lawyer to help me with this mess. I talked to 3 lawyers. They all told me there was nothing they could do until I found Tracey Walsh and I sent her all of the information. She told me she could help my daughter, and she did make this happen. She proved to our school district that, in fact, my daughter has a learning disability and ADD, and they finally offered to help my daughter without us having to go to court. Tracey’s legal service made the district pay for all requested testing to prove my daughter had a disability, and after that, the school district held a resolution meeting with us and placed my daughter in a school that can help her with her problems. The district stopped ignoring my requests for help because they didn’t want me to bring Tracey Walsh around. So now, my daughter is going to get the help that she needed for all these years, and only because of Tracey Walsh – she was the only lawyer that would get involved in my daughter’s case.

I was stressed out before I approached Tracey. She gave me straightforward answers and advice on what I had to do to handle the district and their unfair behavior towards us. Talking to Tracey made me feel that she had experience doing her job. She gave me solid guidelines and replied to my emails, containing my questions and concerns, immediately. During the case, Tracey listened to my concerns and took my suggestions when she saw it could help our case. That showed me that she is very pragmatic and appreciated my input. Having Tracey on our team helped me with legal vocabulary and to get to know the law better. As a result, with her guidance and representation, we have a successful settlement with the district. Now that this burden is out of our way, we can concentrate on our son’s continued success. In the future, if I ever have any questions or concerns, I know I am calling Tracey without any worries or reservations. I have already recommended her to my friends in need of a good special education attorney and I will continue to do so in the future as well.

My family was at a crossroads because our daughter was told she could no longer attend the school which she had been attending since Pre-K. Tracey was God sent. I remember meeting with her at her office. She was calm and attentive. She listened to me and promised no miracles, but a guarantee that she would work tirelessly on our behalf. Less than three months later, our case was settled. Tracey also defended me when the IEP meeting was set on a date that was not convenient for us. We really feel comfortable with Tracey and will be with her for the long haul. This practice puts clients first.
