Michael G. Gilberg

We've hired Michael for two separate situations over the last several years, and, without a doubt, he was the right choice. Michael is doing this for the right reasons; he truly cares about each family and student he works with, and the results speak for themselves. We achieved exactly what we needed... (and our school district is notoriously difficult) each time we worked with Michael. The first time we hired Michael, it was to review footage of a bullying incident that our school district refused to allow us to see. Thanks to Michael, we were able to watch the footage, point out the incident, and get the district to do what was required. The second time was much more intense, involving the teachers' & staffs' unwillingness to understand/accept our child's disabilities and work with our child appropriately. It was a nightmare for our entire family, but Michael handled it perfectly. The district dragged its feet, but Michael's expert & honest guidance kept us calm, and we eventually got exactly what we needed for our child, who is now thriving in a different school. I will absolutely use Michael again and refer him to anyone who needs help with their special needs child. He gets it, and he's a pleasure to work with.

Michael is an exellent educational attorney, who helped (and is helping) us with our children's educational needs. He helped us to get the proper school placement for our child for multiple academic years. His presence at CSE meetings worked wonders with the school personnel, which finally was able... to see that the challenges our other child faced were not made up and there are in-district solutions for those challenges. Michael knows his craft. And he understands what special need child goes through and making sure that child's rights are respected by home school districts.

Michael is an excellent practitioner who shows a huge amount of compassion for his clients and for remedying their concerns. He is always available for assistance even on very short notice. Michael never failed to keep communication open through every phase of our situation. He is exceptionally m...otivated to really help his clients.
