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.
