Education & Civil Rights Attorneys | The IEP Lawyers

LeTonya F. Moore, Esq. CEO & Founder

A Passionate Lawyer Forged by Personal History

LeTonya is the Founder of The IEP Lawyers, a trade name of Southern Regional Law Group, LLC, a law firm licensed in the State of Alabama. For LeTonya F. Moore, fighting for a child's civil right to an education isn't just a profession; it's a calling rooted in her own family’s history. Her passion is fueled by the story of her father, a brilliant child in the segregated South who was labeled as "dumb" by a system that failed to see his potential. He struggled with words that jumbled on the page, eventually dropping out of school, never knowing he had a treatable eye condition. His experience is a powerful, personal reminder of how devastating it is when a school system fails a child.

This foundational understanding of systemic failure, combined with over two decades of experience as a federal regulatory and disability civil rights attorney, ignited LeTonya’s mission. She is a voice for the vulnerable, dedicated to ensuring that no other child is overlooked, written off, or denied the future they deserve.

My Approach to Advocacy

"The strongest cases are built on a foundation of trust. My first job is always to listen, to understand your family's story, your child's unique strengths, and the frustrations you have faced. You are the world's foremost expert on your child. My role is to combine your expertise with my deep knowledge of civil rights law to build a powerful, customized strategy. I am committed to being a compassionate counselor to you and a relentless, unconflicted advocate for your child."

LeTonya is Experienced & Focused

As the firm's ranking civil rights lawyer, LeTonya handles the most complex matters where educational failures cross the line into illegal discrimination. Her career as a former federal attorney and litigator for agencies like the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development, and the U. S. Department of Health & Human Services, gives her a rare and powerful insight into how government systems work, and how to hold them accountable when they fail.

LeTonya focuses her practice on high-stakes civil rights litigation in federal court under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504, IDEA, and other civil and constitutional rights matters.

Her dedication has earned her national and international recognition, including being named Top Attorney of the Year (2024) by the International Association of Top Professionals and receiving the Outstanding Leadership Award (2024) from Education 2.0. She serves as a consultant and expert witness for family lawyers who handle custody matters with children who have disabling conditions.
