A Lifeline for Our Family's Educational Rights

When our local school district attempted to deny our special needs son the comprehensive IEP he legally required, we felt overwhelmed and outmatched. We turned to John Cafferky at Blankingship & Keith, and it was the best decision we could have made. From our first consultation in his Fairfax office, his deep, 17-year expertise in Education Law was immediately apparent. He didn't just recite statutes; he explained the strategic landscape, drawing on a career dedicated to this niche. His recognition as Lawyer of the Year in this field wasn't just an award on the wall—it translated into a commanding, yet respectful, authority during negotiations. Mr. Cafferky meticulously prepared our case, anticipating every counter-argument the district's counsel presented. His professionalism was unwavering, but what stood out was the genuine personal investment he showed in our son's future. The outcome was exceptional: we secured a fully-funded, appropriate placement and related services without the need for a protracted hearing. For any family navigating the complexities of education law in Virginia, John Cafferky provides not just legal representation, but clarity, confidence, and ultimately, peace of mind.
