Greetings from LaPointe & Butler, P.C.
This site is under construction, please click here to visit the old site.
The LaPointe & Butler law firm staff can categorically say that Special Education
is our business ! While we offer a continuum of services, all are either instructive,
preventive, rehabilitative, supportive or consultative regarding a school district's
efforts to provide special education programs and services, or to meet ยง 504 or
ADA mandates.
We pride ourselves in establishing a working relationship with our clients that
is not restricted to just providing "traditional" legal advice. Rather, by our taking
the time to learn about special education and the day-to-day problems in providing
it, in providing services we strive to develop the maximum potential of district
staff to prevent or resolve problems. However, if the problem persists, we represent
districts in complaint or due process hearing procedures, litigation, or other forms
of dispute resolution, consistent with the law and the child's educational needs.
Website Structure
This site is divided into two major areas. The first is for general public use.
It has information about our firm as well as a bit of the feel and direction of
information available to our clients. The second area is exclusively for the firm's
retainer clients, and requires a password to enter. This area houses current legal
news updates, pertinent archived documents, legal questions and answers, back issues
of Ounce of Prevention News (the firm newsletter) and more.
