Barger & Gaines

I am deeply grateful to Giulia for her compassionate and expert support. She clearly understands special education law and truly understood me and my son. During an incredibly stressful time, she removed the burden of feeling like I had to handle everything alone. I felt heard, supported, and confident throughout the entire process. I cannot thank her enough and highly recommend her.

Barger & Gaines, especially Alyssa were enormously helpful. They provided great counsel and help us navigate a challenging process and educational system with the best resolution possible. Would recommend their services without reservation.

We don't know what we would have done without the kind, compassionate, professional guidance of this team! They are always available and extremely knowledgeable about our local school systems. They also really dissect what is happening with our child by accurately analyzing tons of data, testing and best advising what to actually ask for to get our child the best level of attention and education that she deserves! Thank you so much!

We had an outstanding experience working with our attorney, Alyssa Drazin. She helped us navigate a very challenging process to secure an appropriate education for our child, and her guidance made all the difference. From the very beginning, she was honest, transparent, and incredibly supportive. Thanks to her expertise, we achieved an outcome for which we are truly grateful. Highly recommend!

Alyssa Drazin provided excellent counsel and assistance with navigating the process for educational placement of our child.

I am so grateful that I found them!!! We were so stressed out and didn’t know where to turn with our situation. And we were in a bad situation. Our first phone call was like a prayer, they heard us and they treated us with respect and kindness. Super knowledgeable, upfront about direction and options, communication was amazing and they weren’t afraid to fight for us. Without them I don’t believe we would ever have been in the great spot we are today. We are truly grateful for everything they did for us.

Barger and Gaines is amazing. They listened to our situation with ourschool district and told us we had a case. You can't imagine how validating that is to hear. They immediately got to work and we got our daughter moved to an out of district school for the beginning of this year and the change is amazing. I am beyond grateful for what they have done for our family.

Working with Alissa Drazin at Barger and Gaines was a pleasure! She was so professional, incredibly organized and responsive. She was able to secure the best possible outcome for our family. We will forever be indebted to her for her help. Thanks to her, our child is now thriving in his educational setting! I would recommend her with no hesitation to anyone seeking a Special Education attorney.

I couldn’t be more grateful for Barger & Gains. They were patient, caring, and incredibly professional throughout the entire process. They took the time to understand our family’s needs and made everything clear and manageable. I truly felt supported every step of the way. Highly recommend!

The place to go if your child is having any issues in school. Paul and his team are kind, caring, compassionate. They know the law and they explain it in a way that actually helps families.

Trustworthy establishment with the highest level of service.

Barger & Gaines are very knowledgeable, professional, and a pleasure to work with!

I cannot thank Giulia Frasca, Esq. enough for all that she has done for me and my daughter. From the very beginning, she guided me with care, professionalism, and genuine compassion through one of the most stressful experiences of my life — fighting the DOE and finding the right school placement for my daughter. Giulia went above and beyond to make sure I understood every step of the process. She was patient, thorough, and truly fought for my daughter’s best interests as if they were her own. Her knowledge of education law and her dedication to children’s rights are unmatched. Because of Giulia’s guidance, my daughter had the right school but the seat was not enough and will be using her again when my daughter does not need as much childcare. I am forever grateful for her support, advocacy, and kindness throughout the entire process. If you are a parent navigating the DOE system or special education issues, I cannot recommend Giulia Frasca highly enough. She is not just an outstanding attorney — she is a true advocate for families.

Working with Alyssa Drazin to help support our case to keep our child in his current OOD placement was beyond valuable. She insured we had all the right specialists in place to provide us with the evaluations and data needed. We felt confident in our IEP meetings because we knew we were prepared and that was very comforting. We will be using her services in the future and could not recommend them more.
