That headline was written by a Barger & Gaines client who left a 5-star Google Review Oct. 21 for Senior Counsel Giulia Frasca and her special education and general educational law practice.
The review touches on so many of our clients’ frustrations, fears, and hopes that we’re presenting it in full here:
There are simply not enough words to express how grateful I am for Giulia Frasca at Barger & Gaines.
As a mother who has spent years advocating for my son’s educational rights and needs, I know how overwhelming, emotional, and exhausting this journey can be. Finding someone who genuinely cares, listens, understands, and fights alongside you makes all the difference in the world.
Giulia has been that person for me and my son … .
This is now the second case we have successfully won against the Department of Education, and I cannot express how much her dedication, knowledge, hard work, and commitment have meant to our family.
What makes Giulia truly exceptional is not only her professionalism and expertise but also her compassion, patience, and willingness to listen. She has helped me navigate difficult situations, understand my son’s rights, and feel confident that his needs deserve to be heard and addressed.
As a mother, all I have ever wanted is for my son to receive the education, services, support, and opportunities he deserves. Having Giulia by our side throughout these battles has given me strength, reassurance, and hope during some of the most challenging moments of our lives.
To Giulia, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for standing beside us, for believing in my son’s rights, for your patience, and for never making me feel like I was fighting these battles alone.
Your work is more than just a profession. You are making a meaningful difference in the lives of children and families who need someone to advocate for them.
I will forever be grateful for everything you have done for me and [my son].
I wholeheartedly recommend Giulia Frasca and Barger & Gaines to any parent seeking dedicated, compassionate, and knowledgeable legal representation for their child’s educational rights.
Giulia Frasca you are the best of the best!!!!!
