“We Are Their Voice”

An attorney by definition is someone who is appointed to act for another in legal matters. While an advocate is someone who supports a particular cause – your child. Both work on behalf of your child’s educational needs just at different stages of the process.

“Michelle McGuire has been instrumental in assisting me with my son and his needs as it relates to his disability. Her knowledge and expertise was extremely beneficial in helping me navigate the school system process. She really puts her clients first. Thank you Michelle!”


Roberta, 2020

“I have been working with Michelle McGuire for a few months now and she is absolutely Amazing!! After our first conversation I cried for days because I felt so relieved from her knowledge and immediate plans of action. I felt like God personally delivered an angel to help guide us through this nightmare with this Charter school and fighting for a fair education for my Autistic son. I cannot thank Michelle enough for her support and dedication. I highly recommend her, and if I could give 10 stars I would”


Nicolette Pope, 2024

“Michelle was instrumental in advocating for my son and ensuring we knew our rights as parents and his rights as a student. He is now in the right educational environment for him and making the right educational progress. We were fortunate to find Michelle to represent us.”


Steve Baisden, 2019

“After 8 years of attempting to work with my son's school district, they continuously refused to acknowledge his Autism diagnosis from University Hospital and the Cleveland Clinic. I was exhausted from their constant games and angered by their unethical practices. I researched and interviewed many firms. Most of them left me with a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach and required sizable consultation fees just to schedule a meeting to discuss my concerns.

And then a friend of mine referred me to Michelle McGuire... and that made all the difference in our world!

From our first conversation, Michelle was direct, honest, empathetic and truly invested in my son's educational needs. She took the time to listen, throughly review all of his records and honored our families goals throughout the entire process. She has a keen knowledge of educational law and went the extra mile to fight for our son’s education rights.

Thank you Michelle! You have been a God sent and GAME CHANGER for our son and our family!
