What Parents Say

"We are so very excited to write a review for Mr. Peck! Our Outcome: The total time from filing to prevailing: 2.5 months! With Mr. Peck's legal representation, my son is now attending a private school for special needs which tuition is well over $100,000 a year, with a 1:1 aide, and transportation to and from school. THIS is how you educate a child with special needs! We did NOT need to pay any expenses for his representation as our attorney in our IEP Due Process for my son. From the initial appointment, he had a vision and that vision was executed beyond any reasonable expectation that we had for our son. We are forever grateful to you."

"Attorney Keith Peck has been a blessing to our family. After losing our case at the administrative level in Arizona, we contacted him after reading about one of his famously successful cases in the Ninth Circuit. With his help, we were able to overturn the administrative decision in district court. Even though the school initially appealed to the Ninth Circuit, they eventually decided to settle out of court rather than take on Attorney Keith Peck's record of wins at the Ninth Circuit. Thanks to Keith we now have a rock star son that functions as God has intended due to the appropriate therapies at an early age that CAS requires."

"Keith made it happen for us. Originally the DOE had my son on a certificate route for high school and he was expected to stay until the age of 22. Keith stepped in to help my son and I β€” a year later, Keith won and got us that extra help. My son was able to graduate with honors. I would recommend Keith to anyone!"

"Mr. Peck has represented our family in a number of special education cases when Hawaii DOE blatantly denied our child a FAPE. Due to his knowledge of the laws pertaining to special education, Mr. Peck was able to take the evidence and present it with commanding yet respectful expertise that resulted in a Due Process win that awarded our child placement at an excellent private school. The decision included all inclusive expenses including our mileage to and from the school. Mr. Peck's dedication to special needs students and their families is nothing short of heroic."

"Mr. Peck is a consummate attorney, tactician, and advocate for his clients. His bulldog-like tenacity, unsurpassed knowledge of special education law along with his 'take no prisoners' attitude make him, in our opinion, the foremost special education attorney in the country. He is literally changing the special education legal landscape one case at a time. Without Mr. Peck's interventions and expertise, we would not be where we are now as a functioning family and our son would not be in the highly specialized private ABA program Mr. Peck secured for him through litigation over the last 10 years."

"SUCCESS. Our family has worked with attorney Keith Peck over the span of 10 years through SEVEN SUCCESSFUL LITIGATIONS. It's heart-breaking to have to sue and fight over basic, federally-mandated services. Sadly, that's what is required in order to have the Hawaii DOE follow the law. Trust your instinct! If it seems odd, wrong, or unfair, call Keith. Winning lawsuits pays his fees. Expect an ADVOCATE in your corner. Expect to listen to Keith. Expect to be listened to. Expect SUCCESS."

"Keith Peck helped me and my son with the DOE special education department. Keith won 3 of my son's lawsuits with the DOE. There are so many laws that will protect your child especially when you have to do an IEP meeting. Regarding the cost β€” don't worry about it. Keith won't charge you because he believes in you and your child and wants the best for your child. Keith is very passionate and driven and a bulldog in court."

"Keith Peck is incredible. He knows SPED laws for the state and nation, knows how to hold the school district fully accountable, and has helped us avoid being taken advantage of as parents who do not understand how things work. With our child's complex and ongoing issues, Keith fought tooth and nail to help protect our child's right to the education needed. He has twice served our family's special education legal needs and never once let us down. If you need a warrior, Keith is your lawyer."

"Keith Peck fought for my son's education when no one else would. Keith spent numerous hours with me to help me advocate for my son. Living on an outer island, where resources are limited, Keith made us a priority. Keith Peck cares! No other attorney does what Keith Peck does for students with very special needs. Thank you for fighting for us!"

"Mr. Peck is incredible! He is so patient in explaining things to me despite my poor English since it's our second language. Now, my son is so happy in his new school and he is getting a lot of support there and he already has a lot of improvements. Mr. Peck is not only the best lawyer but also a very nice person. I am now braver and more knowledgeable about the SPED law. Thank you Mr. Peck!"

"We needed an attorney that specializes in special education and understood the law β€” Keith was the only one with enough credentials that came close. Keith not only doggedly pursued the case but always took the time to make sure we understood what needed to be done at every step of the way. Our child is going on to major in Psychology at a University and it simply wouldn't have happened without his hard work. Much Mahalo Keith!"
