Adam Wasserman was a tremendous help 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 about the situation. Mr. Wasserman worked really hard negotiating with the school district and helped my daughter obtain an IEP.

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 Bruce Zucker are excellent attorneys. They are caring, compassionate, knowledgeable and dedicated to the causes families need help fighting for their children. Both Bruce and Adam fought consistently for best outcome for us and kept us well informed and advised every step of the way. They went above and beyond to insure we felt justice done in our case. They absolutely earned or trust and deserve highest recommendation to anyone needing legal assistance and reinforcement in advocating for their child.

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.

I have interacted with Adam Wasserman over several years, and had the opportunity to watch him use his extraordinary level of insight, intelligence and expertise "in action". He is someone who consistently follows through, does what he says he will do and is very sharp, yet explains things always in an understandable manner. He is a valuable asset to have on your side in a very complicated legal area. I highly recommend him.

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 Wasserman is amazing! If you're reaching out to Adam, you've probably exhausted all means on your own advocating for your child, which can leave you truly depleted and emotionally drained. You're probably at or close to a point of desperation. Adam and his associates are honest, hard-working individuals who work for your child and you to help ensure schools are doing what they're supposed to do. Adam is honest about the system and genuinely cares for his clients in what is typically a very difficult process. I can't express how much I appreciate everything Adam has done for us and have referred numerous families to him who are having difficulty getting the education system to help their children appropriately. He truly is a blessing!! We are overjoyed with his services and the positive impact he's provided to our son's education.

Adam helped get my daughter an IEP and when what the school was offering didn't help my daughter we were able to remove her from classes that were making her worse, got the district to pay for short term homeschooling. She is now back in school and doing much better. I am thankful for Adam's help and personal attention. I'm not sure what I would have done without his help. Adam knows how difficult parenting children with special needs can be and often listened to me vent. He is a great advocated and an empathetic soul.

I highly recommend Adam Wasserman to anyone in need of an educational advocate. He is extremely knowledgable of the special education laws and diligent in fighting to get what you need for your child. Adam was always available 24/7 to us for questions and concerns.
Hiring Adam was the best decision we made to help get the services our daughter was entitled to. We would not have been able to do this on our own. Our family is forever grateful to Adam and his team. We now have an appropriate and very comprehensive IEP in place to ensure her future success.

Adam Wasserman of Education Justice Law Group has been amazing for son with Autism. He has been so supportive and knows how to work with the district in a gentle, yet effective manner. He was willing to help up over the weekend when issues were pressing. He really cares and it shows in his dedication.

I am very thankful. I hired Mr. Wasserman. He has been able to support, advise, and help us navigate thru a very complicated educational bureaucracy always having our child's best interest in mind. He has been straight forward and clear about expectations from the start and compassionately and professionally represented the needs of our child. I feel very confident that we will have a positive outcome and provide our child with the educational support she deserves to thrive and do well. Education Justice Law Group was there for us.

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.

S D2022-05-20Navigating IEPs can be stressful and daunting. Having a knowledgeable, dedicated and caring attorney by our side made this experience easier to handle. Adam Wasserman cares deeply about the students he represents. He always makes himself available for a call to explain everything and reassure everybody. Rebecca is also fantastic to work with. She ensures that everything goes smoothly. I would highly recommend this team.
Nathalie Fairall2022-05-10Two years ago I walked in blindly and alone to an IEP meeting with zero knowledge and I came off that way. I was presented with a whole lot of district jargon that just confused me entirely. I walked out of there feeling helpless and incompetent on how I was going to get my son the help he so desperately needed. Knowing that I needed help I started researching. Advocates, lawyers, consultants but none of them offered what we found in Adam. Adam has a plethora of knowledge within the education system. He has years of experience. He downright gets it! Adam held our hand every step of the way. In the two years that we worked with Adam every single text, email and phone call was returned and answered promptly, he also attended every single IEP meeting and saw them through fruition. He fought very diligently and professionally for our son. He also assisted us with getting reimbursed for private aid fees we had to incur as well as extra tutoring which is doing wonders for our son. Adam is the whole package.
Sak2022-04-28We retained Mr. Wasserman to represent our 10th grader who was quickly falling between the cracks and beginning to fail in her classes. There was no support and her self esteem was crumbling. In our meeting with the school and District present, Mr. Wasserman completely transformed the schools dynamic towards us from one of invisibility and helplessness with no school support to one of responsiveness and accessibility. We know that we have rights and the Districts obligation is to honor them. In the past they made us feel like they were doing us a favor and giving us bread crumbs when they felt like it. Mr. Wasserman skillfully held them to account and we are now getting the services and assistance our child deserves. We are very lucky to have Mr. Wasserman’s counsel, clarity, and advocacy as he continues to represent our child’s best interest. In short he gave us our power back.
K A2021-12-20Words can not express my gratitude to attorney Adam Wasserman for his help. He came to my help with no hesitation when I found myself in a very bad predicament with the school district after signing a settlement with them. He went above and beyond for us. He very much embodies what he told me when I spoke to him the first time that “education law is about social justice.” This deeply resonated and I knew he would be a great advocate for my child.
Dr DeanNewton2021-08-05I am pleased to say that Attorney Adam Wasserman is a true professional. In all my years of working with professional attorneys he is among the best!

Denise J2021-07-20Thank you Attorney Adam Wasserman for your professionalism, coupled with a genuine interest and concern and guidance on how I might address the issues we spoke of, impeccable service than you
NAZANIN TEHRANI2021-07-16Contacted Education Justice law on the phone for consultation. I was passed on to Mr. Adam Wasserman right away, he listened and gave me advise over the phone. He took the time to go over what I needed to appeal a case, we got disconnected and he actually called me back. He advised me to send the letter and if I am not successful then he would be able to help me out after. He did all this without a fee, I felt so much better and confident after speaking to him. Great to meet ethical and compassionate attorneys like Adam Wasserman. Thank you for your time!
Jessica Wilson2021-05-24From the beginning Adam and his team made our entire process comfortable and easy. This was an emotional ordeal for me personally, he listened and understood. He took our case even though we were hundreds of miles away.. If you feel as if you are needing legal support for your child, I can not say it enough that you will see results and get the answers you need with Adam and his law firm. Thank you Adam!
Stacy Leonard2021-05-19Adam has been fantastic to my family. We felt completely lost in the school system and our son struggles with ADHD. Adam came in with not just school and law advice but a team of doctors and therapists to help us. He is also a kind person and truly cares about his clients. My son very much wanted to be in a gen ed english class and Adam made that happen for us and made my son very happy. I feel blessed that we met Adam and I would recommend him to anyone.
Veronica Garcia2021-04-30Thank you so much, Mr. Adam Wasserman, My son missed out on special services due to Covid19, Hired Mr. Wasserman he took the time and he understood our frustration what we were going threw, he made us feel comfortable just in those minutes we were speaking to him, The little time that we knew him, On my son first IEP meeting he made it happened, with all his experience and intelligence him knowing so much of this special education, he jumped on it and with no time to waist. The School District started providing my son his services by the next week, and this is only the beginning so much accomplish in just a little time, can't wait for the outcome. Thank You So Much
