Leigh Law Group also does business as EDULEGAL because a substantial part of their practice consists of representing clients in the education context. The field of education law requires attorneys knowledgeable in the practices and procedures of public, private and charter schools. There can be no
substitute for an attorney advocate who has actually worked in a school setting.
It is our mission to provide each of our clients with attorneys who use their practical experience working in school settings as well as their knowledge of the laws affecting education including, but not limited to, the California Education and Government Code, Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act, No Child Left Behind, Section 504 and Americans with Disabilities Act.
