When Your Rights Are Challenged, We Fight Back
Facing Discrimination? Feeling Powerless? If you are struggling to find equal access, inclusion, and dignity in school, at work, or in the community, you need an advocate. At Baikow Disability, Employment & Education Law, we are dedicated to protecting your rights and securing your future. We are tireless advocates for students, employees, and individuals.
I am an attorney with a practice built on deep experience in disability law and the civil rights issues that affect education, employment, and everyday life.
My commitment to this work is both professional and personal. As a parent of two children, I bring a real-world understanding of the challenges families face when seeking appropriate education and equal access.
I also bring a rare dual perspective from my prior career:
As a former litigator defending school districts, I have an insider's understanding of how districts operate, make decisions, and approach compliance.
Through my prior work in Legal Aid, I built a deep foundation in disability civil rights, including SSI appeals and Fair Housing Act claims.
Today, my practice is focused entirely on the plaintiff's side. I represent individuals and families in matters of education and employment, fighting for access, equity, and lasting results. My approach combines creative problem-solving, attention to detail, and persistent advocacy to turn complex legal requirements into clear, actionable strategy that protects my clients' futures.
Attorney
I understand how overwhelming it can feel to navigate the rules surrounding accommodation, access, and compliance. Whether you're a parent advocating for your child's education, an employee seeking workplace fairness, or an individual confronting systemic barriers, the legal process can feel confusing and impersonal.
I'm here to change that. My practice combines legal expertise with empathy, helping you understand your rights, assert them confidently, and achieve meaningful results. I partner with families, employees, and individuals to resolve conflicts, implement effective accommodations, and ensure equity under the ADA, Section 504, and IDEA.
When regulations clash with real-world needs, I bring clarity, strategy, and compassion to every case, so you can focus on what matters most: inclusion, dignity, and lasting fairness.
Disability and Workplace Accommodation
I represent employees and individuals facing disability-related barriers at work. This includes failure-to-accommodate disputes, retaliation cases, and claims under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA).
General Employment Law
I handle a full range of employment matters, including discrimination claims (based on race, sex, age, religion, and other protected characteristics), wage and hour disputes, severance and contract review, and wrongful termination.
Special Education Law (IDEA and Section 504)
I help parents and students secure the educational supports and services guaranteed under IDEA and Section 504, including IEP and 504 plan development, evaluation review, placement disputes, and representation in due process hearings.
Civil Rights and Accessibility
I protect the rights of people with disabilities in schools, workplaces, and public settings, including accessibility complaints and enforcement under Title II and Title III of the ADA.
Advocacy and Early Resolution
I provide direct advocacy and negotiation support to resolve conflicts before they escalate, from IEP meetings to workplace accommodation discussions.
