What's New
  • Dennis C. McAndrews has been named a "Top Lawyer" in the field of Trusts and Estates by Main Line Today Magazine The recognition, for the year 2009, resulted from a survey of hundreds of attorneys in Southeastern Pennsylvania who offered their opinions on the best attorneys among their peers. McAndrews Law Offices extends its appreciation to the attorneys who have recognized Dennis McAndrews as excelling in the field of Trusts and Estates!
  • McAndrews Law Offices Recently Won an important case in federal court regarding the statute of limitations for special education claims. In Mark I., et al. v. Central Bucks School District, Judge John R. Padova, United States District Court judge for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, overturned the holdings of a special education hearing officer and appeals panel that the two year time limitation in IDEA-2004 applied to bar compensatory education claims existing prior to July 1, 2005.  Judge Padova determined that because the time limitation in IDEA-2004 cannot be applied retroactively to claims existing before the statute’s effective date, compensatory education claims prior to July 1, 2005 are not subject to a statute of limitations.
  • McAndrews Law Offices Recently Won Significant Victory in Federal Court. McAndrews Law Offices recently gained a significant victory in federal court in Philadelphia. In Ferren C. v. The School District of Philadelphia, Judge Stewart Dalzell, United States District Court for Eastern District of Pennsylvania, ruled that the School District of Philadelphia was required to create an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) to assist a child who was entitled to three years of compensatory education beyond the age of 21.

  • WILLS FOR LOCAL POLICE AND FIRE PERSONNEL We recently noticed that in other parts of Pennsylvania some Bar Associations have instituted a program known as “Wills for Heroes” in which young (and often inexperienced) lawyers are invited to provide free Wills and related documents to police officers and first responders. Our firm is offering such a program for Tredyffrin Police Officers and Berwyn first responders on a local level, and we are doing so through the highly experienced attorneys of our office. We expect to provide this service at no cost to about forty (40) to fifty (50) police officers and first responders over the next year. Please join us in thanking these brave men and women who serve us every day!
  • Dennis McAndrews Joins the Board of the Elder Law Section of the Pennsylvania Bar Association. Mr. McAndrews will assist the Pennsylvania Bar Association in identifying appropriate outreach activities to the Bar and general population in Pennsylvania, and will assist in developing programs to conduct this outreach.
