Verified ClientHired Attorney David German 2023-2024David and his team are amazing! Honestly, we were lost until we spoke with them about six months ago. We needed help navigating after we had our IEP meeting. David was kind, patient, and extremely empathetic to our situation and helped us every step of the way. He let us know our options and answered every single question that we had for him. Just a wonderful person to have on this educational journey!

Verified ClientHired Attorney David German 2021David was instrumental in helping us navigate the best possible educational situation for our daughter as she started middle school. His calm and encouraging demeanor made the entire process of legally working with the school district stress free and more cooperative rather than combative which was what we wanted. David kept us updated every step of the way and there were no surprises as a result. If you have a child in special education and you want the best possible placement for your child, do not hesitate to contact David to explore your options. It could very well be the best decision you make for your child's future.
