James Baron, MEd, Esq is a professional, knowledgable, transparent, honest, and communicative attorney. His expertise in this field provides insight, depth, and well thought out guidance for the client. The case he assisted us with was complicated with a long history-Attorney Baron guided us to persevere-we are happy that we did. I would recommend you speak to Attorney Baron regarding your student's educational needs, it will be worth your while. FIVE stars

We found attorney Baron very knowledgeable of the law regarding IEPs and case law. He advised us at various steps throughout the process.He prepared a letter for us sent to the school district with supporting rationale looking for out of district placement .

2 minutes ago We hired Jim Baron as he was recommended to us by our educational advocate for help with a school matter. From the beginning, Jim was professional, knowledgeable and respectful of our feelings. He was upfront regarding costs and highly organized. He understood that this was a very difficult situation from a parent's perspective. He helped us prepare the best case we could and was flexible with strategy throughout. Jim was always prompt in replying to vm or emails. He was always honest with his opinion even if it wasn't what I wanted to hear, he was the objective voice we needed. We were very pleased with the manner in which our case was resolved and wouldn't hesitate to call upon Jim again.

If you need an attorney that has your best interests in mind and represents you with his heart and personal involvement versus just from an office full of books or a large firm where you can feel like a case number instead of an individual..... Then pick James M. Baron, Esq., M.Ed. of Waltham, MA. He did an outstanding job representing me and my family on a very difficult case that most lawyers we researched wouldn't have pursued. He took the time to get to know us as well as all the information that came along with the case and treated us as people. He was open to our suggestions and never made us feel like we had no voice in all of the proceedings. Definitely a top-notch attorney that can rub elbows with any high-power attorney out there and come out with awesome results.

We were very happy with the results of our case thanks to Jim’s guidance and expertise. He was honest and upfront when discussing the details of our case. Jim’s communication with us was excellent. He promptly returned our phone calls and emails, honestly answering any questions we had. Jim’s attorney fees were clearly outlined and explained to us, along with options for payment. We would highly recommend Attorney Baron to families who need legal expertise pertaining to the education of their special needs child.

Attorney Baron assisted us with a daunting issue dealing with a large educational institution. He prioritized supporting us in our advocacy efforts instead of quickly pursuing litigation. He was always mindful of our son's best interests and our family's well being. He connected us with key resources to help us advocate. This resulted in a significant victory for our son and for many other students with disabilities.

We hired Jim after speaking with 10+ other special education attorney's to handle our very complex case involving our young child with autism. After 2 minutes from speaking with Jim, it was obvious he was the clear choice and we retained him immediately. Jim was always available whether it was late at night, on weekends and holidays and was extremely transparent about fees and the status and strength of our case at all times. He guided us in the right direction from what was (in his words) one of the more complex cases he had ever seen. He handled things masterfully and the end result was a very positive outcome for our child. Jim is someone who is extremely trustworthy and a true professional. I would no doubt hire Jim again in the future and could not recommend him highly enough.

When we realized that we needed to sue our school district with respect to our daughter's special needs education, I had no idea who to approach despite having trained as an attorney. Attorney Baron was recommended to us and from the first moment I met him, I realized I had totally lucked out. Not only was he personable, knowledgeable and understanding but he was also honest and practical. Throughout our dealings I always felt fully informed; emails and phone calls were always returned promptly. He did not sugar coat where we stood but gave us a true understanding of what we could realistically hope to achieve. Negotiations were stressful but he was very tactical in his approach. He was very careful with my money and focused so that money wasn't wasted on reports that weren't needed. He absorbed much of the stress associated with the litigation. He managed to reach a settlement on our behalf that was better than we had hoped for. We would highly recommend Attorney Baron.

I was looking for a special needs attorney and James Baron came highly recommended. We met and I knew he would be right for our case. He was knowledgeable and I trusted him with very sensitive details about our case and about our child. He made me feel comfortable and offered key advice that enabled a swift resolution to our case. I highly recommend him for anyone looking for a special needs attorney.

If you and your child are struggling against an intractable school district that isn't fulfilling it's obligations to help kids who need it, just call Jim. I know this sounds like a advertisement, but it's true. James Baron is truly a caring and calm advocate who helps parents understand their options and how to go up against the district. He is extremely well-versed in education law, having achieved a Master's degree in education as well as his legal training. He doesn't behave aggressively, but his confident knowledge of right and wrong has a way of getting people's attention without antagonizing them. He helped run interference for us when the district and their lawyer were behaving in an aggressively ignorant way. We think we're very close to the end of this nightmare, and it's all because of Jim. He's calm, unflappable, very effective and very professional. Plus he's just an all-around nice guy. I highly recommend him to anyone.

We have a six year old diagnosed Autism Spectrum son, with side diagnosis of ADHD and other sensory and processing issues. We spent the last three years battling with almost everyone telling us he was mis-diagnosed and we were wrong. We hired two advocates; however nice persons they were, it did not get the job done we needed. Within a few months, Attorney Baron met with us, reassured us, assisted in organizing us and got us what was needed, required and legally ours from the public school system. Since this time our son is still receiving services and the school wants to provide more willingly. It is sad we had to resort to this measure; We did everything we were told to; everything professional Dr.s told us to, and he was re-evaluated 4-5 times diagnosed each time. Not only did we feel comfortable with Attorney Baron but his own life story and situations allow you to feel how much he cares and wants the best for your child. I understand Advocates are truly needed, and we are following up with one now. However I wish I had originally spoken to Attorney Baron and saved us the time, money and stress the school caused before we hired him. Until the schools and other recognize these children and trust the parents who are heartfully advocating for their well being, I would highly recommend Attorney Baron. We continue to speak to him and have him monitor our case to assure our son's highest level of Education is received properly! Thank you Attorney Baron!
