Following years of pursuing many dead end paths to help our son progress in public school, we immediately gained empowerment, the facts and professional guidance from day 1 of working with Laura. Laura’s speed to evaluate and efficiency to reach resolution enabled our son to reclaim his freshman year of high school, access appropriate language-based programming and he is now thriving. We were equally as thankful to gain back the fun-loving, confident student that was lost along our family’s stressful journey. Laura and her team were committed every step of the way - ensuring accountability and securing the education services our son was entitled to. We recommend Laura Gillis to any family in need of special education legal services.

We sought the help of Laura Gilles after our previous advocate misguided us when dealing with our town’s special education program. Laura and her team treated us with the utmost respect and were honest and upfront about the process and options we had. The effort of Laura and her team helped us reach a resolution quickly and efficiently, allowing us to to move forward with our daughter’s education. My only regret was not seeking her counsel earlier.

Attorney Laura Gillis and her staff are very professional, responsible, prompt, and respectful. Laura is honest and explains everything in a way we could understand. She made us feel like we were her only client and always had our best interests at heart. Attorney Gillis knows the law and is top notch. Highly recommend!!! She and her staff are the absolute best.

Extremely competent attorney. Bonus is that she understands placements and kids (being a mother herself) so is great to bounce things off of. Highly recommend her... she was worth every penny!

Laura and her team did a great job helping our family during a crisis. She was very professional, thorough, and tenacious. From placement, to evaluation, to transition back to public school she was there for us. When many evaluations shut down due to COVID, she made sure to insist on having the school find alternatives and helped us advocate our "stay put" rights.

We spent many years working on our daughters special education needs on our own and we finally realized that we needed someone who would advocate for us and help us better understand the process. Attorney Gillis amazed us from day 1 and she was able to guide us through the process of making sure that my daughter's educational needs were addressed and she is now thriving in her new program. The IEP process is a long road and having Attorney Gillis and her team leading the way will make for a smoother experience and she will do all she can to make sure your families needs are addressed.

My family is very grateful that we sought guidance from Attorney Laura Gillis in finding an appropriate school for our son. Laura was always responsive and compassionate during this transition and her experience in the field of special education was invaluable in placing our son in the right school. We highly recommend Attorney Gillis if you need educational law representation.

My family was truly blessed to have Attorney Gillis representing us. She was thorough, insightful, and is genuinely a kind and caring person. I highly recommend working with her.

Our experience with Attorney Gillis and her staff has been superior! Our family benefitted greatly by her support and determination to make what seemed like an impossible situation become successful. We received personalized services and always at a level we understood. We felt comfortable and confident in every decision knowing that our child’s best interest mattered to her as much as to us. Attorney Gillis is an attorney, but also an amazing voice in the community. We will recommend her and her team to anyone in need.

Words cannot adequately express how highly we regard and appreciate Laura Gillis and Torie Roig. Laura’s background as a mom of special needs children and Torie’s former teaching experience make them the perfect special education attorneys. Both Laura and Torie are fierce advocates and champions for special needs students and their families. They care deeply about the students they represent and are always very articulate, responsive, compassionate, and professional. I highly recommend Laura Gillis and her team for any educational matter.

helped us get our son into the education he needs, after 7 years of trying
