Every student deserves a fair, supportive, and accessible education — and we’re here to make sure that happens.

At Minakan-Stafford Law Group, we represent students and families in education law matters with a focus on equity, dignity, and results. Whether your child has been denied appropriate special education services, faces school discipline, or is experiencing discrimination, we’re here to protect their rights and help you advocate for what they need to succeed.

We handle a wide range of education law issues, including:

• Special Education (IDEA) & 504 Plans
  IEP development and enforcement, evaluations, placement disputes, disability discrimination

• School Discipline & Due Process
  Suspensions, expulsions, informal removals, disciplinary hearings, and appeals

• Bullying, Harassment, and Discrimination
  Protecting students under Title IX, Title VI, and state education codes

• Students with Disabilities
  Ensuring equal access and meaningful participation in public education

• English Language Learners & Immigrant Students
  Advocacy for language access, enrollment rights, and inclusive education

We understand how overwhelming it can be to face a school district or agency alone — especially when your child’s future is on the line. Ying Stafford brings compassionate, strategic advocacy to every case, working closely with families to navigate complex systems and stand up for student rights.

Our goal is to empower parents, support students, and ensure schools are held accountable to the law.
