Kirsch-Goodwin & Kirsch is a law firm that represents only students and their families in special education matters across Arizona, from preschool through K-12 and higher education. The firm handles Individualized Education Programs (IEPs), Section 504 plans, child find and evaluations, placement, due process and Office for Civil Rights complaints, student discipline including manifestation determination reviews, Title IX matters, Department of Developmental Disabilities hearings, and Arizona Interscholastic Association cases.

The firm was founded in 2006 by sisters Lori Kirsch-Goodwin and Hope Kirsch, who came to the work after years of civil and commercial litigation. Hope spent 18 years as a special education teacher and school administrator before becoming an attorney, and Lori's son was found eligible for an IEP in kindergarten, which shaped her own practice. The office is at 8900 E Pinnacle Peak Rd in Scottsdale, and families can reach the firm by phone or through a contact form on its site.
