Laviano and Gagne, LLC - Sherman, Connecticut

Melissa Gagne has been my attorney the last few years in my attempt to secure the special education services my daughter both deserves and is entitled to. Melissa’s ability to both have empathy for our situation and yet still communicate our needs respectfully yet firmly to the school district was exactly what was needed. I cannot recommend this firm highly enough.

Attorney Laviano and her team fought for my children as if they were their own! Both of my children have Autism and were not receiving the educational services they so desperately needed. Attorney Laviano took our cases and was able to get both my boys into a specialty school where they are getting everything they need to make progress and a chance at becoming the best versions of themselves. I am eternally grateful for what Attorney Laviano has done for my family. She is the special education attorney you want in your corner!

I highly recommend the law firm of Laviano and Gagne - we were fortunate enough to work with Atty. Margie Jacobson on our matter involving our child. Margie's empathy, diligence, skill and careful consideration of our specific situation really made the difference in achieving a successful outcome!

My family is incredibly grateful for Melissa Gagne and her professional team. Melissa has a thorough knowledge and comprehensive understanding of CT education laws and has advocated for our child with determination. Melissa has shown deep insight into our child’s needs and situation and has demonstrated empathy throughout the entire process, which has helped us tremendously in getting through a difficult time. She is readily available to answer our questions and concerns, has kept us informed every step of the way, and has exhibited exceptional commitment to our case. I highly recommend Melissa and this law firm!

Attorney Gage is the best, hands down. Her own personal experiences with a special needs child helps her truly understand her clients position. She is professional , efficient and a great communicator !

We never thought we would need an attorney to deal with our public school. After several years of struggling with the school to properly educate our son, we decided to unilaterally outplace him.

Attorney Gagne help us navigate the situation and make informed decisions. Our experience with Melissa has been exceptional. Within a few months of engaging with the practice, our mediation was completed exceeding our expectations. The process went as well as it could have and having Melissa on our side reassured us then entire way.

I highly recommend Attorney Gagne; she is a pleasure to work.

This Law Firm is amazing. I worked with Melissa Gagne and her staff. I came to Melissa after trying to navigate through the school System. Not only did Melissa listen she educated me through her own experiences. After so many years of fighting Melissa heard me and paved the way for my non verbal son to have a bright future ahead.
