Barger & Gaines is proud to announce that Attorney Sierra K. Chandler has joined the firm, further strengthening our commitment to providing premier legal advocacy for students with disabilities and their families across New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, and beyond.

Sierra joins the firm with a distinguished background in both education law and family litigation. A graduate of Rutgers Law School and a former Marsha Wenk Fellow with the ACLU of New Jersey, Sierra has dedicated her career to protecting the rights of vulnerable students. Her experience is deeply personal, and as the child of an attorney and an educator, she was raised with a profound respect for the intersection of law and the classroom.

New York stands at a crossroads. We can continue with ineffective half-measures that allow bullying to flourish, or we can lead the nation in creating comprehensive anti-bullying legislation with real consequences.
