Welcome to the Ask an IEP Lawyer Show.
Parents usually find me when school stops making sense.
“I just want my child to be safe and supported at school.”
“That’s the first time anyone has explained it to me like that.”
For more than 10 years, I’ve been taking calls from parents trying to understand IEPs, school discipline, disability rights, evaluations, bullying, private school issues, and what to do next. And again and again, I’ve seen the same thing happen. The confusion starts to clear. The law starts making sense. A strategy starts to appear.
That is the Ask an IEP Lawyer Show. Real parent questions. Real legal strategy. Real help for families.
Some calls stay private. Some, with permission, help other families too.
1. Reach Out
Book a free call, call directly, or hire me for private legal work.
2. Decode Truth
I listen carefully, organize facts, and explain the law so you see what actually matters for your child.
3. Choose Path
Choose one call, strategic deep-dives, or hire legal counsel. You decide the level of advocacy needed.
How It Works
What Parents Say After a Call
“That’s the first time anyone has explained it to me like that.”
“You’ve given me a lot more clarity about what’s going on.”
“I’m glad I called. I had no idea how this worked.”
Meet Mark
I’ve been practicing law in Utah since 2014. Early on, I built my practice around one thing: standing up for families when schools stop making sense. I launched Utah IEP Advocates because I saw how badly parents needed someone who could explain the law, understand the system, and actually help them move forward.
Over the years, I’ve worked with families in nearly every district in Utah, coordinated with service providers across the state, and spent thousands of hours helping parents understand their rights in special education. I’m also autistic. That affects my communication sometimes. I may think fast, speak in an unusual sequence, or come at a problem from a different angle than most people expect. But that same wiring also helps me see patterns, pressure points, and strategies that other people miss. That is a big part of why I do this work the way I do it. My job is to turn confusing school problems into clear legal strategy.

What This Is
This is not a generic law-firm website. This is a law practice, a public education project, and a show built around real parent questions. For years, I have taken calls from families trying to understand what the school system is doing, what their rights are, and how to protect their child. For a long time, I wanted a way to share more of what happens in those conversations so other families could learn from them too. Now I can. That is what the Ask an IEP Lawyer Show is for.
The Ask an IEP Lawyer Show
The Ask an IEP Lawyer Show is where real parent questions meet real legal strategy. For more than 10 years, I have been taking calls from parents trying to make sense of schools, IEPs, discipline, disability rights, and what to do when the system stops making sense. This show exists to turn those real conversations into something bigger: clarity for the family on the call, and guidance for the families who come after them. Every call starts private. If a conversation is ever shared through the Ask an IEP Lawyer Show, that only happens later, with clear permission and signed electronic consent.

Support the Mission
Free consultations exist because generous community members make them possible. If the system has failed your child, supporting this project is one way to help parents push back — intelligently, strategically, and one child at a time. Your support helps keep consultations available, helps turn real parent questions into public education, and helps build something that makes the system easier for parents to understand.
