The firm is especially proud of its pioneering work before the United States Supreme Court, helping to establish many of the high court's landmark and precedent-setting decisions that today, continue to define the procedural and substantive entitlements of students who are eligible to receive special education programming and services. For every year since 2012, in recognition of the firm's work and special expertise, Gary Mayerson has been peer selected as a top-rated civil rights "Super Lawyer."

The firm has an exceptional track record securing funding for highly individualized placements and programs situated on a continuum encompassing "inclusion" and residential programs, and virtually everything else in between. The firm was responsible for bringing the first autism case to ever reach the U.S. Supreme Court, Hamilton County Department of Education v. Deal (2005) and was also amicus counsel for Autism Speaks in Endrew F. (2017), the Supreme Court's unanimous decision clarifying the scope of the national FAPE (free and appropriate public education) standard.

Based in Manhattan, the firm has litigated more than a thousand cases and appeals in 35 states, including Alaska. The firm also consults internationally with American families living and working abroad who are in the process of returning to the U.S.

The firm's highly individualized approach, coupled with its exceptional track record, special expertise, extensive administrative support and close relationship with its client families and noted professionals in the field, is what makes Mayerson, Mure' & Hobbs the premier firm for families to turn to.
