Specialty: Education, Labor & Employment
The law firm of Frazer & Feldman, LLP, is unique
among education law firms, in that it is large enough to
handle any legal issue, yet small enough to provide the
responsiveness and personal attention expected of
school board counsel. Comprised of 11 attorneys, the
firm is devoted to representing public school districts
and boards of education.
“We are not a general practice firm representing 40
to 50 school districts, that might not have the time to
devote to a client’s specific needs,” says Jack Feldman,
who guides clients during all stages of the special
education process. “Instead, our legal staff devotes its
general, special education, and labor counsel services
to a select number of school district clients.”
Florence Frazer notes, “Our success on behalf of our
clients stems, in part, from an overarching philosophy of
mutual respect between labor and management, where
we help to foster a strong working relationship between the two sides. In approaching these matters, we work hard to achieve our clients’ goals, but we
also strive to avoid creating rancor that could impact subsequent labor-management relations.”
This approach has resulted in many long-term client relationships, with a number of the firm’s clients having been with Frazer and Feldman for 15 years or more. “I think clients appreciate how we maintain close working relationships with them,” says Feldman. “We make a point of counseling clients before they act, we have provided clients with more than 85 client memos to keep them current with Covid-19 legislation. It is our philosophy that it is easier to keep our clients out of trouble than it is to get them out of trouble.”
