Since she began at our firm, Hyla engaged with:
- Due Process Cases
- Government Tort Claims
- CDE Complaints and UCP Appeals
- IEP Requests and Responses
- Demand Letters (especially regarding bullying)
We asked Hyla about her experience working here, and this is what she had to say:
Working at Hirji, Chau & Rodriguez has been a tremendous learning experience. From the start, I’ve had the chance to complete substantive writing assignments, communicate directly with clients, and participate in key meetings. I have learned how to draft critical documents, from government tort claims to requests for due process. I have been able to see several cases from start to finish and participate in each step of the legal process. I have also been empowered to advocate for clients at mediations, safety plan meetings, and IEP sessions. One particularly meaningful milestone was advocating for a client at a mediation for a matter where I had drafted the underlying complaint.
The thoughtful mentorship and guidance I have received throughout the firm have been instrumental to my development. Attorneys consistently make themselves available for questions and provide thorough, constructive feedback on all my written work. Overall, my time at the firm has provided an exceptional foundation that will shape the rest of my legal career.
It’s been a pleasure to continue to work with Hyla.
She is the future generation of special education lawyers and we are privileged to help shape her skills.
