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

Despite submitting our son’s ADHD report and our meeting request to the school administrators, no evaluation was conducted and no ARD meeting was scheduled for 1.5 years. We were able to reach Ms. Jennifer through a mutual acquaintance who recommended her. She guided us through the process by clearly outlining the correct steps we needed to take.

Even when we had the smallest question, we could always reach her, and she generously made time for us. She represented us legally and accompanied us at every stage. Our son was evaluated by an independent center and qualified for a 504 plan, and during the ARD meeting, the most appropriate program to meet his needs was determined.

We are deeply grateful to Ms. Jennifer for always prioritizing our child’s best interests, for her fair and balanced approach, for successfully managing a process that began with difficulties at the school, for always being accessible when needed, and for patiently answering all our questions. We highly recommend her to anyone who needs legal advocacy in the field of education for children with special needs.

A truly exceptional special education attorney.

Jennifer Swanson was a compassionate advocate for my son during a very stressful time in his IEP process. The school attempted to make significant changes to his day without appropriate progression, and she immediately stepped in to ensure his rights were protected and that decisions were made based on his actual needs, not convenience.

She clearly explained every step, empowered us to stand our ground, and treated our family with genuine care and respect. Her expertise in special education law is unmatched, and she balanced strength with kindness in a way that made us feel supported rather than overwhelmed.

Because of her guidance, my son now has a fair and appropriate plan in place. We are incredibly grateful for everything she did. If you are a parent navigating the IEP world and need someone knowledgeable, steady, and truly invested in your child’s well-being, Jennifer is the one you want in your corner.
