Mrs. Swanson is absolutely wonderful and her dedication to being a voice for those that do not have one is extremely obvious. She truly cares about the children that she represents and their families, however, this is not limited to just them. I would highly recommend Mrs. Swanson for anyone that is looking for a special education attorney who specializes in mediation. She really does want and intend to make a difference in society. She is extremely realistic with a calm and assertive personality.
I am deeply grateful for Jennifer’s support and dedication to helping my son. As a parent of a child with high-functioning autism, it has been a relief to find someone who truly listens and understands our unique challenges. Jennifer not only took the time to understand my concerns but also suggested practical solutions to ensure my son receives the accommodations he needs to succeed at school.
Ms. Swanson worked hard for my son's case. She had tried her best to support us including reviewing our documents carefully, giving effective suggestions, and attending MRD&ARD meetings with us. She helped us understand our situation and how to deal with everything. We put up a great fight and were successful.
Ms. Swanson is thorough, knowledgeable and just. She helped us navigate the school system of Texas after having just moved here where things are drastically different from Ohio and unfortunately not as well-supported financially nor with sufficient personnel for our children's educational needs. We highly recommended her if you need someone to advocate for you and your family in front of the school/Texas school system
Jennifer was amazing when I needed help navigating unfair disciplinary proceedings levied against my son who had a 504. From the very first conversation she was focused on making choices with our best interests in mind. She is fair, honest and the best advocate you want for your child. I am so grateful I got to work with her.
