Simon, a State-leading Special Education attorney for nearly 40 years, has joined the firm as partner. Ms. Simon will be located in Scarinci Hollenbeck’s Lyndhurst, NJ Law Office where she will help lead the firm’s Education Law group.

Regarded as a pioneer in her field of expertise, Ms. Simon’s experience adds significant depth to Scarinci Hollenbeck’s growing Education Law practice.

“Having established herself as the preeminent Special Education Law attorney in New Jersey, it is both an honor and a privilege to welcome Nathanya to Scarinci Hollenbeck.

Trailblazer in New Jersey Special Education Law

Prior to joining Scarinci Hollenbeck, Ms. Simon was a partner at Schwartz, Simon, Edelstein & Celso in Whippany, NJ, where she made herself known as a pioneer in the field of Special Education Law.

In addition, she was consistently offered the opportunity to counsel New Jersey school board clients ranging from day-to-day matters to complex special education litigation.

Reflecting on her years in the practice, Ms. Simon stated, “Since special education is a very specialized and complex area of the law, there is no substitute for experience. It is only with years of experience that an attorney can understand the nuances of the procedural and substantive aspects of special education laws and cases. I look forward to bringing my expertise over to Scarinci Hollenbeck and being a part of the firm’s Education Law group.”
