What Our Clients Say

Jonathan was absolutely amazing during the whole process of representing my son. He stood up for my son when his rights were violated and did not back down. Jonathan made every step of the process very clear and understanding to me. He was very open and honest about everything and never once did I feel pressured into making a decision I was uncomfortable with. I am very grateful and could not have asked for a better attorney to have represented my son.

My son is severely Autistic and was wrongfully placed in a life skills class that I was told was an Autistic Support classroom, my son suffered for a year before I finally discovered what was happening to him after I pulled him out . My son was out of school for a year with nobody from his school district calling me or trying to find a solution for him they didn’t care about my son or his education they just brushed him to the side and forgot about him . I contacted Jonathan Steele who represented my son he worked day and night on my son’s case , he actually cares about the kids and will fight for your child until they get what they need and deserve . Jonathan got my son the compensatory education money and services that he desperately needs to help him get back into the appropriate school that fits his needs . Without Jonathan my son would not be getting the treatment and services he is receiving from his school district now , he was the only person that actually cared about my son’s education. My husband and I are both very grateful for Jonathan and all the hard work he put in to helping our son, even after my son’s case was settled Jonathan still stays in touch and makes himself available for questions.

Johnathan Steele was a tremendous help with my son’s case. He took all of the stress away and was extremely professional and kind. We won against the school district! After the settlement, Jonathan kept in touch to help with any questions/concerns I needed answered. I feel completely confident recommending him to another family that may need help with a complaint about their child’s education. -Warner family
