Michael G. Gilberg

Attorney Michael Gilberg is an excellent choice if you require a special education attorney in CT. He genuinely believes all students deserve an appropriate education. He was very effective in advocating for our child's placement. He understands how important it is that students get the education t...hey need in order to be successful in life.

Sharp and compassionate, Attorney Michael Gilberg’s handling of our son’s case was beyond exceptional… He perfectly executed his defense and argument in what I felt was a long and uphill battle against the school system. We can never thank him enough. His understanding and genuine willingness ...to help children with disability is impeccable. Very professional and works tirelessly, knowledgeable and skillful. He’s truly an answered prayer!

We are so thankful for Michael's services. When our district was telling us that our daughter (with high-functioning ASD) was being declassified, we didn't know where to turn. (The district determined this prior to our actual CSE meeting). A friend of a friend recommended Michael. After one convers...ation I was positive that Michael was the right choice to represent our daughter's best educational interests. We retained Michael's services and not only did he know the law, but he understood our daughter's needs. After only 2 meetings with the district, we were able to settle and all of my daughter's services remained in place and her IEP was finalized. Michael was always responsive to any questions or concerns we had and always got back to us promptly. There is absolutely no way we would have had the same outcome, without Michael's representation. We decided to continue to retain his services and have him represent us/our daughter for all of our future annual meetings with the district. I would, without reservation, recommend Michael to represent any family struggling with advocating for their child's special education needs. Our family is so thankful we did.

Until we met and hired Michael our quest to achieve a free appropriate public education (FAPE) for our child was a nightmare. Michael came on board with the requisite skills, knowledge and experience to achieve a favorable outcome for our child who was suffering in the public school system. His modes...t retainer and solutions were a blessing. We were in this battle for seven years without Michael and in LESS than a year Michael brought our case to a successful conclusion. Michael approaches these opportunities with compassion, zeal, fiduciary responsibility, and commitment to children’s education which is unsurpassed! This was not our experience with other attorneys in Educational Law and we have seen quite a few.
