The mother of three incredible daughters, one with significant medical needs and developmental disabilities. The birth of her daughter, Jordan in 1992 who is now a resident at the Center for Discovery, led her to pursue a legal career devoted to serving families of loved ones with disabilities.

The Inspiration Behind the Arkontaky Law Group
In these challenging times, there is a profound need for families of loved ones with disabilities to be able to access information. There is also a need for families of students with special education needs to be able to access special education legal representation regardless of economic circumstances to be able to access legal representation. In many cases, we are able to represent these families on a sliding scale. We believe in equal access to justice for all.
