Geralyn Clancy

Attorney at Law

I am located in Roseville, CA in the Sacramento area, but I have represented students in the Northern California region. I was a partner in the firm of Varma & Clancy (Sacramento area) for about 15 years, and then continued as a sole practitioner when my partner went to work for the Office of Administrative Hearings, Special Education division. I was away for several years raising my children. I have recently started up my practice, and I look forward to working with families.

I have represented children with all types of disabilities, including Autism, learning disabilities, developmental delays, cognitive delays, language disorders, physical impairments such as cerebral palsy, deafness and hearing impairments, vision impairments, emotional difficulties, behavioral challenges, and ADD/ADHD. I have represented children with the range of placement needs from full inclusion to segregated sites or residential placements.

Special Education Law

Ms. Clancy is dedicated to improving access to educational programs, services, and interventions necessary for children with special needs. All children have an inalienable right to benefit from their education, to achieve their goals, and to reach for the stars. She has successfully represented children with all disabilities, levels of need, and ages up to 22 years of age.

In assessing attorney fees on a case, Ms. Clancy offers a sliding scale for legal representation based upon a family’s ability to pay.

No child with special needs should go unrepresented in a process that is not only intimidating to parents, but is also highly litigated by the local education agencies.
