"In the legal world, there is no better teacher than experience, and no more accurate measure of skill and success than a long list of satisfied clients."
* Thomas D. Aristide - I have been practicing in Bethlehem and the Lehigh Valley since 1981, focusing on the areas of workers' compensation, personal injury, estate planning and probate, and several other areas that are important to the citizens of Bethlehem and the Lehigh Valley and surrounding area.
A native to the Lehigh Valley, I attended the University of Scranton with dual majors in Economics and History. In the Yankee tradition I graduated from Vermont Law School in 1981 and have provided personal legal services in the Lehigh Valley since. I remember when the Lehigh Valley and much of the state used to be industrialized- producing steel, coal, Mack Trucks, Cement, and other products that kept America running strong. We were and are hard-working, proud, but on-the-job injuries and work-related illnesses were and continue to be common.
Whether your injury is work related or due to someone's negligence, my office and staff is here to protect and guide you with honest advice and personal service which is difficult to find in a large law firm.
* Kassandra P. Aristide - I have a degree and certification in elementary and special education degree and teaching certificate, which has provided me with a unique perspective that assists in my representation of children with disabilities and their parents. In addition, my former position as an attorney for school districts in special education litigation has provided me with a beneficial insight into school districts' true inner workings regarding special education.
There are federal and state laws that protect the rights of children with special needs. "What we have is what you get" is NOT what the federal and state laws provide. My life passion is to advocate for the rights of children and adolescents with special needs, as well as ensuring that parents are well informed of their rights and legal protections. It is my goal to ensure that children receive an individualized and appropriate education based upon that child's educational needs, that is reasonably calculated to provide a meaningful educational benefit.
We recognize the heavy burden parents of special needs children endure as they try to navigate the murky waters of the special education system. We are here to provide you and your child with candid, personal legal advice and representation to ensure that you and your child receive the legal protections and safeguards that you are legally entitled to receive.
