The pandemic has wreaked havoc for all of us, but among the most vulnerable are the hundreds of thousands of our citizens who are incarcerated. Sher Tremonte has been active in addressing the challenges and dangers of COVID-19 in jails and prisons since the outset of the pandemic, and to date the firm has successfully petitioned for the release of six clients whose health and safety were at risk behind bars. As the virus continues to spread throughout our communities, and th...e rate of infection within jails shows no sign of abating, this work is not over. Sher Tremonte is committed to protecting those who are most vulnerable during this public health crisis. Read more about our work on compassionate release. https://bit.ly/3b4chxK

Sher Tremonte recently helped the parents of two special needs students on Staten Island fight back against a New York City Department of Education (DOE) decision to relocate their children to a new school. The DOE’s decision would have sent some students at P.S. 37, a school specifically designated for students with disabilities, to a new general education program nearly an hour and a half away. Moving these students away from P.S. 37 into a new learning environment unable t...o meet their needs would have been harmful to their education. After Sher Tremonte challenged the validity of the PEP’s voting process and developed an advocacy strategy with the family that included enlisting the support of local elected officials, the district Superintendent formalized a new policy that ensured every student at P.S. 37 would be guaranteed a seat. Families at P.S. 37 can rest easy knowing their children can continue to learn in an environment that will allow them to thrive. Sher Tremonte was proud to take on this case pro bono, part of the firm’s ongoing commitment to support New Yorkers in need. Read more about some of our other victories: https://shertremonte.com/news/
