About Painter Legal, LLC

I created this firm because I know how hard parents and educational institutions work to navigate the needs of the children in their care.  Changing education laws and regulations make this even more complex.

I'm an attorney with top-tier training and over 20 years of experience in education law, complex litigation, criminal defense, regulatory affairs, appellate matters, and mental health law. I'm also a parent of three wonderful, unique children-- a child with significant learning differences, a transgender child, and a gifted child who moves to their own beat.  Each of my children deserve to be honored for who they are and given every opportunity to reach their potential.  So do yours. ​

I care deeply about individual people's rights, educational accessibility, and making sure my clients' voices are heard.  I'm passionate about education and excited to learn how I can help you.
