David Beinke is our senior Special Education Advocate and helps provide a unique brand of support for children with special needs in their educational environment to families throughout the state of Texas.
 
He has a Bachelor of Science in Education and is also a former United States Marine Sergeant claiming the moniker and related email address of "specialedmarine".  David has over 20 years experience in the Texas Mental Health and Mental Retardation Community  Center system both as a supervisor and provider of case management services. 
 
David also provides representation to persons having problems in receiving their Supplemental Security Income or Social Security Disability Income areas.  He is also very skilled in advocating for persons in Employment,  Labor Union, and Workers Compensation cases. 
 
David is a very skilled musician, frequenting the various musical venues in the Central Texas area as a drummer.  His many skills do not end there as David also provides private chess lessons. 
 
As many of you already know Mr. Beinke has a definite "gift of gab" and has artfully mastered the pun.  All of us here at the firm think he is really very "punny".  He often says: 
 
"Under IDEA a parent should never be caught between
 a Round Rock and an ARD place."
