Built on Belief.
Backed by Law.
When your child's education depends on what happens at the IEP table, you do not need another advocate. You need an attorney who has built schools, written IEPs, and defended them.
THE PRACTICE
A concierge practice for families and attorneys who cannot afford to be outmaneuvered.
Lumina LD & Law is the special education legal practice of Jamie Caplan, Esq. — an attorney, an educator, and the founder of a school for children with dyslexia and language-based learning differences. Jamie has lived this work from every angle and knows what the data should look like, what the IEP should say, and what the school district will try if you arrive without it.
OUR PILLARS
How Lumina works.
i. Precision
Jamie finds what others miss. Every audit, every memo, every IEP meeting is prepared with the rigor of someone who has read tens of thousands of pages of evaluation data and knows exactly what is missing from the one in front of her.
ii. Presence
Every client works directly with Jamie, not an associate or a junior advocate. The concierge model is not a marketing term; it is how Lumina operates.
iii. Protection
Lumina clients leave every engagement knowing their child's rights are legally sound, properly documented, and defended by an attorney who will not be outmaneuvered.
"It didn't just change his education. It saved my son's life."
— Kristi Hollingshed, former client
WHO WE SERVE
Two paths. One standard of work.
For Families
When the IEP is not working and you can feel it.
You are navigating the IEP process and you can feel that something is missing. You have an attorney who is good but does not know dyslexia. You have an advocate who is kind but does not have the legal authority. You have data you cannot interpret and a school district that is counting on that.
For Attorneys
When your case turns on educational expertise.
You have a client whose case turns on educational expertise you do not have in-house. You need an expert in learning disabilities who can analyze evaluation data, identify methodological gaps, deliver expert witness testimony, and partner with you with a co-counsel mindset, not a competing one.
One attorney. One advocate.
One person at the table with you.
