A bit about us:
We’re a law firm with a strong focus on representing public school districts, BOCES and other education-clients in New York. Guercio & Guercio, LLP has been doing this work for decades, and our special education practice is a key part of what we do.
We’re looking for an attorney who’s hands-on, comfortable with hearings, and ready to step into a role where the work matters.
Apply here and contact Hunter Dahlstrom directly for details at hunter@jobot.com or 248.636.2434 (direct cell #)
Why join us?
Be part of a niche practice with both depth and real substance (you’ll be doing more than generic litigation).
Opportunity for professional growth: you’ll work directly with seasoned counsel and handle meaningful mandates.
Collaborative environment: we value client-service, trust, and personal accountability over buzzwords.
Balanced workload: while hearings and deadlines are part of the job, we believe in realistic expectations and building sustainable careers.
Multi-office presence across NY (Long Island, Westchester, Capital Region) gives some geographic flexibility.
