Mr. Corchnoy is “of-counsel” to John Rue & Associates. This means that, although Jonathan does not work for JR&A (he has his own firm; its website is here), the two firms have a close collaborative relationship, and regularly work together in the interests of children with disabilities. In short, the clients of both firms benefit from JR&A and Mr. Corchnoy’s relationship, permitting consultation and collaboration to leverage synergies between their experience and capabilities.
