She worked fast and my daughter got her iep! Highly recommend!!!

We consulted Carla Loon and received expert legal guidance on our individual situation. Carla was understanding and listened to our particular challenge with the education system. She gave us steps to take to get the results we wanted. Since then we have shared her information with numerous other families and continue to recommend her as a lawyer who knows how to advocate for students and parents facing challenges with their schools administrators or school boards.

Carla was essential in getting our son the assistance he needed to be successful in school. We are exceptionally grateful & can't recommend her services & expertise enough.

Upon entering a new school district we had some serious issues with our son and the school removed him. We didn't know what our legal rights were and starting calling attorneys with educational law as an area of expertise. Carla called me back and immediately I knew I was in good hands. She knew we had been wronged and that our process with the school was not what was supposed to happen. Everything moved very quickly from the point we hired her. She asked the right questions and gathered information by email, text messages, voicemails left, and filed the necessary paperwork the very next morning. By that afternoon we had a meeting scheduled with the school! Carla listened to what we wanted and communicated our position with the school and never once backed down. We were able to come to a very agreeable resolution in a very short amount of time. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for legal advice or representation when it comes to education law.

We were working through the IEP process for our child and struggling with the school district for over two months. Recognizing that the school district was not working towards our child’s best interest we asked Carla to represent us. Her knowledge in this specialized field is exceptional and her professional/direct approach efficient. Wish we would have hired her sooner!

We had been battling the school district for 3 years to get an IEP for our son. Carla was mentioned by our pediatrician as someone who could help. We immediately contacted her for an initial meeting. She told us that she would take our case and we hired her. She got results fast for our son and we can't thank her enough for her help in getting the IEP for our son.

Carla assisted our family as we worked with our school district to establish an IEP for our child. Before we hired Carla the task felt daunting and confusing. However, these feelings quickly changed, as it was evident in our first conversation that Carla had the knowledge we were looking for to ensure that our child would be legally protected. Carla made sure that we received full benefits of the rights we were afforded in this situation. If we are ever in need of further services, Carla Loon Leader will be our first call.

Carla promptly sized up our situation and took action to ensure the right things began to happen immediately. We avoided what would surely have happened without her, and that would have been a tragedy. When a second issue developed she performed again.

I was a client of this attorney. Our relationship lasted about a week before I fired her. This attorney spent most of the billable time arguing with us instead of helping our kid, and she charged us more than $1,000 for arguing with us. This attorney made our communication with our kid's school worse while she insisted all communications went through her, then she simply did nothing after the condition became worse.
