FOR ATTORNEYS
Jamie partners with attorneys whose cases turn on educational expertise they do not have in-house.
She works with a co-counsel mindset, not a competing one. Your client stays your client.
What you can retain Jamie for.
Evaluation data analysis
Jamie reads the full battery — formal testing, informal data, state testing, and work samples — and tells you what the numbers actually mean.
Methodological gap identification
Jamie finds the holes in district evaluations: data that was left out, goals that were never written, and methodology that does not match the child's profile.
IEP technical review
Jamie reviews proposed IEPs against the legal standard and against what the data actually requires. She produces a written memo your team can work from directly.
Expert witness testimony
Jamie has testified in due process hearings. She is credible under cross. She speaks the language of compliance, the language of evaluation data, and the language of the classroom — fluently.
Methodology depositions
When the methodology itself is at issue, Jamie is qualified to speak to it as an educator who has built and run a program serving children with learning disabilities for three decades.
How Lumina engages with attorneys.
Jamie is regularly waived in as an expert in learning disabilities. The qualification is specific by design. She also testifies as an expert in dyslexia, and in special education when the case warrants it.
