Michael G. Gilberg

Michael Gilberg is a HUGE asset to our family. The amount of money I have paid him thus far does not compare to what he has done for my son. My son's current placement is kudos to Michael. He has also succeeded in getting 3 independent evaluations paid for by the school district including a very c...omprehensive neuropsychological. He is extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of the Special Education process. He is kind, tenacious, very responsive to my concerns, professional and highly respected in his field. I feel extremely fortunate that I connected with Michael. Finding good people to work with you in not always easy.

Michael Gilberg has been successful in addressing numerous challenges in our school district in the past year. There were many hurdles in our district such as achieving FAPE, following IDEA laws, changing the IEP classification and goals, getting approvals for evaluations, and more. Michael handled a...ll CSE meetings and interactions with grace and professionalism. He’s down to earth, cordial, and efffectively manages the stress that comes with the job. Michael is incredibly knowledgeable of education laws, and his ability to keep track of the many moving parts of our ongoing case is impressive. I appreciate his open communication and continuous contact. He responds timely to my calls, texts, and emails. Anyone pursuing FAPE and proper placement with a special needs child knows how much there is to manage. Michael is great about staying on task and he follows up to remind me when I haven’t responded or gotten around to taking action on a task. He’s respectful of my overwhelming schedule and empathic toward my challenges of raising a high needs child. When I’ve expressed frustration about events out of our control, Michael never takes it personally and he gives me hope. I highly recommend Michael Gilberg for his expertise in Educational Law and Advocacy, particularly for Special Needs kids.

We had a very short notice need for a special needs educational advocate attorney and found in Michael Gilberg, a competent, passionate, compassionate and detail-oriented counsel. He was able to help secure outplacement for our special needs daughter, without having to go to mediation or due process.... Beyond thrilled.
