Why Birmingham Families Need an IEP Attorney
Families in Birmingham and Jefferson County navigate some of the most complex special education systems in Alabama. The Jefferson County School System, Birmingham City Schools, Hoover City Schools, Vestavia Hills City Schools, Mountain Brook City Schools collectively serve thousands of students with disabilities, and like school districts across the country, they don't always get it right.
Jefferson County alone serves over 50,000 special education students. Birmingham City Schools has faced federal scrutiny over special education compliance in recent years.
Whether your child attends school in Jefferson County School System or a neighboring district, you deserve an advocate who understands Alabama's education law and is fully committed to your child, not to the school.

The "Outsider Advantage" We Only Represent Families
Many law firms in Alabama represent both parents and school districts. Not us. Williams & Moore has never been on a school district's payroll, and we never will be. When you hire us, our only loyalty is to you and your child.
This matters because attorneys who represent school districts in other cases may be reluctant to aggressively challenge those same districts when representing parents. We have no such conflict. We come to every IEP meeting, every due process hearing, and every mediation as your advocate, and nothing else.
