"One of the
specialties of our law firm is representing parents of children with disabilities in education law cases. In this practice
area we find that parents often receive valuable assistance from non-lawyer advocates when dealing with school districts and
negotiating the special education and section 504 processes. Frequently our clients work with Buckley Hugo of Midcoast
Advocacy to obtain these advocacy services. Buckley is very knowledgeable about the subject matter, highly organized
in his approach, a consummate professional in his dealings with clients and school representatives, and a tenacious advocate
for kids with disabilities. He provides his clients with critical insights and support that can help ensure that their
children receive the appropriate education to which they are entitled by law." –
Dick O’Meara, Murray, Plumb & Murray, Portland, ME __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
"Buckley Hugo’s collaborative and informed approach to advocacy
has proven successful in securing the services and support our son needs to succeed in the public school
setting. Buckley understands the political, emotional and legal aspects of the Special Education
process and helps families craft the best IEP’s for their children. Buckley came to work with us at a time when we questioned the quality of our son’s IEP
goals and his program in general. With his unique experience as a negotiator
and understanding of the IDEA law, Buckley was able to make recommendations and advocate
for appropriate services for our son in PET meetings and in
written communications with our school. I have found the entire experience working with Buckley
Hugo to be educational and beneficial in so many ways. I plan to continue working with Midcoast Advocacy
for the duration of our Special Education program years." - Cape Elizabeth Parent
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ "As a parent of a child with an emotional disability who was failing in public school, we did not know where to turn for help. That was before we met Buckley Hugo from Midcoast Advocacy and enlisted his services. Our child’s emotional disability adversely affected his educational performance. Through Buckley, we learned our child was entitled to special services at his high school that he was not receiving. Buckley helped us to know what type of services to ask for from our school in order for our child to learn. Buckley has been a tireless advocate for our child, attending all the IEP and 504 meetings to ensure our teen is receiving the special services for him to succeed at a public school. It’s nice to have an advocate like Buckley who has only the best interest of our child when it comes to a free appropriate public education." - Grateful Parents from the Boothbay Region

we found Buckley Hugo of Midcoast Advocacy. He advocated for us with his experience with the special education laws.
He was professional and effective at the IEP meetings with recommendations for an appropriate plan for our daughter to be
on track with her graduation. We now feel confident at the IEP meetings and that our daughter is receiving the education
she deserves." - Bridgton Parents

It will be great to enjoy the summer knowing that our son will be in good hands this Fall. Thank you for your guidance! You helped us more than you can imagine.
