Serving Santa Paula Families, From Our Hometown Office
Santa Paula is where Sespe Law keeps its office, and it is where much of our community work begins. We help Santa Paula families with education law and special education / IEP advocacy first, and we also handle CPS, criminal defense, and outside general counsel matters.
Whether your concern is an IEP that isn’t working, a CPS investigation, or an accusation against a family member, you can talk with a team that listens before it advises.

When School Support Isn’t Keeping Up
Many families first call us after months of emails, meetings, and promises that haven’t changed much for their child. Zachary Tinker leads the legal strategy, and Carina Tinker—an Education Specialist (MS, EdS, BCBA)—brings an education-focused perspective to evaluations, goals, and behavior support.
Together we review the IEP or 504 Plan, assessments, and school communications, help you put your concerns in writing, and prepare you for the next meeting so you walk in knowing what to ask for.
