Title: Special Needs Attorney

Organization: The Filis Law Firm, P.C.

Bio: Leona Filis, owner of The Filis Law Firm, P.C., in Houston, is an attorney who focuses her time and energy on helping families with children with special needs. Leona has built her practice by being a partner and a resource to parents helping them navigate through tough decisions regarding their child’s care. Since her son’s Autism spectrum diagnosis in 2010, Leona realized that the niche of a Special Needs Attorney wasn’t being filled and that many parents were overwhelmed and uninformed regarding their medical and legal rights. Her primary focus is to help, guide and educate parents and families of children with special needs.
