Moving from preschool to kindergarten, elementary to middle school, or middle to high school can be the moment a child’s support quietly slips. Sespe Law serves Oxnard families with education law and special education / IEP advocacy, helping make sure services follow your child.
We also represent Oxnard residents in CPS matters, criminal defense—with a focus on child endangerment and domestic violence accusations—and outside general counsel.

Why Transitions Matter in Special Education
New schools mean new staff, new schedules, and sometimes a new team reading your child’s IEP for the first time. Goals, accommodations, and behavior supports that worked last year can be lost in the hand-off.
We review the current IEP or 504 Plan alongside transition documents and recent evaluations, flag gaps, and help you prepare questions so the new team understands what your child needs from day one.
Issues We Help Oxnard Families Address
Whether or not a transition is involved, families contact us about:
- Services Reduced at a New School
- Accommodations Not Carried Over
- Eligibility or Reassessment Disputes
- Behavior Support and Discipline
- Inadequate Progress on IEP Goals
- Schools Not Following Legal Requirements
When a Family Faces More Than a School Issue
Sometimes a school concern, a CPS investigation, and a criminal accusation are connected. Because we handle all three, we can help you see how decisions in one may affect the others—and plan steps that protect your child and your family together.
