Navigating the Labyrinth of
With over two decades of experience as a Connecticut special education attorney, I provide skilled legal representation and advocacy.

In addition to my legal practice, I host a podcast dedicated to special education issues for parents, offering timely insights and guidance to help families navigate the system. I also present locally and nationally on parents rights and other special education topics. This year, I will be presenting on AI and Special Education at the COPAA 27the Annual Conference in Southern California, reflecting my dedication to staying at the forefront of this evolving area of law.
Committed to transparency, I offer my services on a fixed-fee basis, removing the uncertainty that often comes with legal fees. Together, we can tackle the complexities of the special education system.

When we learned that even though we opposed our school district’s placement recommendation for our child they could move him without our consent, we were terrified.
Within the hour we called special education attorney, Dana Jonson. She clearly explained the whole process that we were facing, along with every possible outcome. The night we hired Law Offices of Dana Jonson, LLC to help us was the first night I slept in months.
Every email we received from the district, they proactively reached out to explain what was happening and what implications it would have.
Today our child is in the placement that was in his best interest and he is thriving. It is not lost on us that we would not be here without having hired them.
Dana changed the big picture for us. We went from worrying about incremental wins at PPT’s to mapping out successful years for our son.
She has helped us navigate in-school services, skipping a grade, private evaluations, and even an out of district placement. When we look back at our son’s formative years, it won’t be a teacher or therapist that we remember for making him a successful adult, it will be Dana Jonson for making it all possible.
When our son received multiple diagnoses which ultimately led to an IEP in first grade we had no idea what to expect in the coming years.
In seventh grade, we had to seek legal advice and ultimately representation. And, we reached out to Dana. She immediately provided us with the information needed to diffuse a difficult situation and has been with our family ever since. Dana works with you and your child as a partner.
We didn’t know what to expect as our son’s needs evolved, and we could never have navigated the complexity of the situation on our own. We were able to ultimately reach a solution which we never would have managed without the expert advice, care, and support of Dana.
