Law Offices of Monica C. Marquez

When you put your child in someone else’s care, that person or institution assumes responsibility and is liable for any injuries your child suffers due  to negligence or intentional bad acts… 

At the Law Offices of Marquez & Associates we represent children who have been physically or mentally injured as a result of :  civil rights violations, excessive restraints or discipline, improper supervision, or intentional or negligent wrongdoing. Our firm has extensive experience in litigation and mediation, and can successfully and effectively represent and empower you the parent  to obtain all necessary remedies to which your child may be legally entitled.

 

Each year, hundreds of general education and special needs children are injured or even die due to negligence on the part of people who have been entrusted with their care. Others are denied special services to which they are legally entitled and/or subjected to bullying and discrimination. If your child has suffered an injury at school as a result of negligence, been denied services, or faced discrimination, you may be entitled to compensation.

We Offer

  • Guidance
  • Legal Counseling
  • Potential claim review
  • Injury prevention consultations

Far too often, schools fail to meet their responsibilities and requirements for children with special needs. If your child has been injured while at school or if you are concerned that he or she is not getting the services needed, you owe it to yourself and your child to contact our office for a complimentary consultation. We can advise you about your next steps to protect the rights  and make requests on behalf of your special needs child. As a parent who has advocated for her own children with disabilities, Ms. Marquez is sensitive to the needs of parents experiencing the challenge of navigating the school system, and addressing critical safety issues that may have led to your child’s injury. We are a small firm of professionals  knowledgeable about the law, and who are invested in empowering parents to help protect their children who may be hurt at the hands of third parties, schools, child care centers.
