Compassion That Wins

“I can’t thank the Salonus firm enough for the incredible support and dedication they showed during my case. From the very beginning, they were not only professional and knowledgeable but also compassionate and genuinely invested in helping me get the best possible outcome.

What really stood out was how far she went beyond what I ever expected from a lawyer. Whether it was breaking down complex legal terms so I could fully understand them, or simply being a steady voice of reassurance during a stressful time, she was there every step of the way.

Thanks to their hard work and relentless advocacy, we achieved a result that truly exceeded my expectations. If you’re looking for someone who combines legal expertise with a real human touch, I wholeheartedly recommend the Salonus firm!”

Changed Our Child’s Future

“We cannot thank this law firm enough for everything they’ve done for our family. Our child—a bright student who still struggles to read—deserved to have someone truly fight for him, and that’s exactly what we got. From the very beginning, the law firm was incredibly attentive and compassionate, taking the time to walk us through every step of the legal process. The law firm broke down the complicated legal language in a way we could understand and always made sure we felt informed and supported.

When it came time to fight for our child’s rights, the law firm was fierce, knowledgeable, and completely dedicated. The team represented us from every angle with professionalism and genuine care. Thanks to their hard work and commitment, we finally felt heard and understood in a system that often overlooks kids like ours.

We would highly recommend this law firm to anyone in need of a team that truly listens, explains, and fights for their clients. Simply outstanding service from start to finish! Their dedication and commitment will last a lifetime, and drastically changed our child’s future for the better.”

Empowered and Educated

“Worth every penny! She was amazing. She listened and advocated for us. She educated the staff as well as my husband and I on ways to learn more about the IEP process. She took into consideration that I am very close and have a great relationship with teachers and administrators at my daughter’s school. She did not come across rude or aggressive, but only wanting the best for my child while making sure everyone in the room knew she knew all the right steps to take to get everything that my child needed.”

The Best Advocate for Children

“Mrs. Salonus represented our child with compassion and firmness. She is the best lawyer to advocate on behalf of children already facing the challenges of education where SPED and 504’s are in consideration. She won our case and is my go to on any questions pertaining to discrimination or unlawful behavior in the public education arena. Hands down, the best representation available!”

Right By Our Side

“Mrs. Salonus and her team represented my special needs son to get him the therapy that was in his IEP and the school system was dragging their feet to provide. They were a pleasure to work with!”

Smooth, Supportive & Knowledgeable

“I’ve never hired an attorney before and Jessica made the process so smooth. She was helpful and so knowledgeable about what we needed. I’d recommend Jessica (and already have!) to any parent of a special needs kiddo.”

The Best Decision We Made

Ms. Salonus effectively and efficiently advocated for appropriate supports for my child, along with compensatory services. She was extremely knowledgeable, professional and collaborative with the entire IEP team. Hiring her was the best decision we made in advocating for my child’s needs in school, and I would do it again without reservation.

Stronger IEP, Better Future

I hired Jessica Salonus as I was concerned that my child was being excluded from the regular education classroom more than was appropriate. Jessica was able to negotiate a much better IEP for my child than I would have been able to accomplish on my own.

Thorough, Encouraging & Effective

She assisted us in getting an initial IEP set up for our daughter. She was very thorough and so easy to work with. She was encouraging for us, also. In the meeting, she was kind to the school workers, but firm and we ended up getting what we wanted from them (which is hard to get). She didn’t back down and stayed on them until they agreed. We were so thankful we had her with us!

Life-Changing Advocacy for My Child

Jessica was able to help me navigate the legal system after my special needs child was seriously hurt in our public school system. She battled for my child’s rights and got a settlement that is life-changing for my child. She was more than our attorney, she was our friend and stood by us when we were going through an event that traumatized my child. I will be forever grateful to Jessica for all she did to get our lives back.

Expertise That Changed Everything

From the very beginning of our IEP process for my daughter, it has been an uphill climb and challenge as our local school system kept coming up with excuses on why things could not be done and adequate support not be given. Working with Jessica was a pleasure as we brought her into the fray and with her support and longevity, we got the school system to give us what we needed. Words cannot say enough about Jessica’s expertise and overall desire to see things work out, not only for us, but for all children needing the true support they need to excel in life and be given the chance to experience it to its fullest. Thank you, Jessica, and as a family we look forward to working with you in the future. May the Lord bless you and yours in all you do for Him, for what you do, definitely brings Glory to the Lord.

A Landmark Win That Changed Lives

Jessica was co-counsel in our winning Due Process appeal against our local school system which denied our son (who has Down syndrome) with an appropriate education in his Least Restrictive Environment. Our case was so well-written and delivered that it has become effective case law that is preventing other children from being excluded from the regular classroom. This win would not have been possible without the extraordinary work of Jessica Salonus. Her expertise in special education law and remarkable command of ALL of the details of our case (and the defendant’s case!) made all of the difference in our success. Jessica is a strong and effective attorney and advocate!

A True Champion in Our Corner

I can say that everyone who told me not to attempt to resolve the IEP process on my own, was absolutely right. I truly thought that I could handle it on my own, but I was sorely mistaken. I have never thought of myself as naive, but I had been. Fortunately, it wasn’t too late, and we found Jessica Salonus. She listened intently and quickly understood our son’s situation (which was quite complex). From the start I felt like we had a champion in our corner! Her style is very calming and personable, yet she will be firm and appropriately confrontational when need be (in regards to standing up for your child). Long story short, despite all the pessimistic things people had to say, Jessica was able to get our son in an alternative educational placement where he could flourish. I am 100% confident, that, without her, we would not have been able to achieve this and our son would not be in the educational setting that he desperately needed.
