About Natashe Washington

A parent-first attorney with deep litigation experience, now focused on special education law in California.

Background

Natashe Washington is a member of the California, New York, and South African bars. Before moving to California, she served as a Senior Public Prosecutor in South Africa, where she prosecuted serious felony cases and developed a reputation for thorough preparation and clear advocacy.

That background in litigation—understanding what evidence matters, how to present it, and how to secure outcomes—now supports her work in special education law. Parents facing IEP disputes need someone who can assess the facts, build a strategy, and act decisively.

Natashe focuses exclusively on special education matters: IEP development, assessments, placement, due process hearings, and mediation. Most cases resolve through negotiation. When they don’t, she litigates at the Office of Administrative Hearings.
