Deep subject matter expert on all things special education law . Fierce advocate for neurodiverse children. Mark coached my husband and I every step of the way in navigating a complex legal and Department of Education system that is stacked against helping neurodiverse students get the resources they... need to succeed in school and life. Mark patiently listened to all of our concerns, educated us on the legal process and strategies to maximize legal relief for our child who struggled his entire elementary school career. He was super responsive in all communications, which I find rare in most attorneys these days; he would often respond to an email within the same day. He genuinely cares about advocating for children with learning disabilities. He has that rare streak of kindness that emanates in all his interactions with anxiety-stricken parents. Whoever hires Mark will never look back.

Having Mark Gutman by our side during a most stressful time was the best decision that we made. From the very first phone call, Mark stood out as competent, compassionate, and focused – we immediately knew that we wanted him to represent us. In every step of the way since then, Mark has been a blessi...ng and a bright light in a gloomy period that ended in the best possible way for our son. His placement and the related services that he is now receiving are perfectly suited to his needs. Mark’s approach was efficient and impactful. His decisions were centered around what would be fair and right for our son. His sense of urgency was incredible – he never kept us waiting, was always two steps ahead, and was consistently responsive. His confidence in what he was doing was reassuring and helped calm down our anxieties time and time again. We will always be very grateful for Mark and for what he secured for our son.
