Ask me how I became an Attorney with Dyslexia and ADHD

My 12 yr old son fell between every crack in the public school setting, referred to as disturbed, troubled, and dumb, he was bullied by students and staff alike. My story is long and hard to hear. I was referred to Adam and within 24 hours he called to talk to me about my son. Every question was only about him and what he was experiencing and how he could possibly help. I have never met anyone that clearly cared about my son every step of every decision. He never questioned what my family could afford and what that could mean ( as far as helping us) to my son's future. We worked out a plan that was in the best interest of my son and our family. When I was feeling so broken and the feelings of failure overwhelmed me, he gave me strength and knowledge. There is nothing worse than my feelings of hopelessness. The case is over, and now we feel unfettered from the leash that the school system had on us. Adam did that for us. No one else could. I am forever grateful.

Adam Wasserman was tremendous for my daughter. For 3 years, I had taken many hours off from work to go to my daughter's school and sat in my daughter's classroom to try to figure out why she was not progressing sufficiently academically. I was very involved with my daughter's education and the school did not seem to care about my child's education and avoided aiding my child with academic help in the classroom after I had provided verification that my daughter was diagnosed with ADHD/ADD. I had tried everything to get my daughter the help she needed on my own, but I got nowhere. I was at my breaking point with my daughter's school and was an emotional wreck, and then I came across an ad for Mr. Wasserman. I called Mr. Wasserman and informed him of the whole situation with my daughter. He was very compassionate towards the situation. Mr. Wasserman worked really hard negotiating with the school district, and helped my daughter obtain an IEP.

Adam Wasserman is the consummate professional and embodies every quality that a parent would wish for in advocating for their child. Our daughter has been on a LONG and difficult journey since 3rd grade and we've had to navigate public schools, private schools, Ed Therapists, etc. etc. To say that this process was stressful would be the understatement of the year. Along this journey we have found some professionals who were helpful and some who were not so helpful and/or lacked knowledge in the area of Educational Law/504's/IEPs.

Last year, we were lucky enough to have been referred to Adam by a friend who had a great experience with him. It was the best choice we ever made. Adam was extremely knowledgeable, kind, caring, and attentive. We felt like he truly had our families best interests at heart and most importantly, really got to know our daughter and understand her profile. He absolutely knew what she needed in school and why, and we've been able to secure those accommodations. For the first time, she's feeling satisfied and successful in school! Words can't express our gratitude for his help and the amount of pride and relief we have felt for our daughter. We are so excited for her future and know that we are secure and in good hands having Adam and the Education Justice Law Group standing behind us.

Adam helped my daughter, and quite frankly, our whole family navigate through a unique situation that created difficulties for my daughter to stay focused in school. He immediately helped us navigate the legal hurdles and took the time to explain everything to me as we progressed. Ultimately, he was able to get our daughter the help she needed at school by having the districted perform a thorough evaluation and eventually a 504 plan. Just having his support has provided our daughter with so much more confidence as she continues to deal with her emotional issues. I would highly recommend Adam to anyone who is dealing with special needs issues and the public school system. He is an expert in his field. He treated us with kindness, compassion and care throughout the process. He is a good man and a great lawyer.

First, I hate that you even have to consider hiring a lawyer at all in dealing with the school system (like Las Virgenes Unified). But where they lack in compassion and humanity, Education Justice Law and Adam Wasserman provide it. Due to an unforeseen medical condition with my daughter, the school district, of course, failed to provide support or the minimum accommodations. So, we hired Adam. He listened, and he took action.

The great thing about Adam is that he was not only superb in meetings while advocating for our daughter and our family, he also educated us providing a range of options for the future. Moreover, he was successful! We got everything we asked for with the school district (and then some).

Adam was a supportive force for our family during a stressful time. He normalized and crafted a strategy for us, then executed that strategy. He was responsive at all times and to all things, even seemingly insignificant questions. I highly, highly, highly recommend! He reminded our daughter how valuable she is and that the school system, while really messed up, doesn't define her or her future.

Adam Wasserman and his team have done a great job for my family. As soon as he got involved, the interaction with the school became a totally different experience. Instead of being adversarial and having to fight for what we wanted, it became collaborative, with everyone trying to reach the same goal - what is the best way to help our daughter succeed.

I am an attorney myself, but education law is an area where you need someone with the specialized knowledge necessary to advocate for your child. So we hired Adam, and I am very glad we did.

I would gladly recommend him.
