About

Special Education Attorney

With more than 10 years practicing special education law, Seth Schwartz has handled hundreds of cases and consulted with thousands of families about their legal rights. During law school, Seth interned for a local special education attorney and realized the need and desire to continue in the field. With educational struggles of his own, and a younger sister with autism, Seth understands and relates to the experiences our families go through. Seth actively supports educating families, frequently speaks on special education topics to parents and professionals, is a strong legal advocate, and a parent of two young children of his own.

Manager of Operations and Business Development

Driven by a passion for helping families and children, Kayla Neri, MPH, spent over 10 years in healthcare administration, from community clinics and pediatric hospitals to a hospital emergency department in Australia. She holds a Master of Public Health from Cal State San Marcos. That same passion led her to special education law, where she now brings her healthcare background and data-driven approach to managing the firm’s operations and business development, helping ensure families get the support they need. In her downtime, Kayla enjoys going to the beach with her family, including her young child, and loves traveling.

Behind every case is a team that makes this work possible. Brightside Law Group is supported by additional attorneys, of-counsel, paralegals, and other professionals who bring their own experience and dedication to helping families and their children. From case preparation to client communication, every member of our team plays a role in the outcomes we achieve together. As our practice grows, we’re always looking for passionate attorneys and professionals who share our values and want to make a difference in special education. If that sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you and explore what working together could look like.
