We arrived at Gina's office after years of battling our school district unsuccessfully. Not only was our child never given a free and appropriate public education, but there was overwhelming evidence that nefarious acts were taking place under district supervision as well. Gina and her team passion...ately fought for us for over a year through due process and the appeal processes helping to expose the truth. They communicated frequently and effectively answering our numerous questions, always with patience and care. Our family is forever grateful we were able to obtain 6 years, at district expense, in the best private placement, as well as a bank of compensatory services that will serve us in the best way possible. With Gina DeCrescenzo, P.C. on your side, you will be able to trust your case is in the best hands possible, to gain the best outcome possible.

We really want to thank Gina, Carlie, and the whole team at GDPC. Everyone at the office makes the process of getting our son the education he deserves and needs painless. My wife and I did not have any clue about how the process worked but Gina spoke with us about the process and eased our minds. ...Our son is now finishing his 2nd year at his school and it could not have happened without Gina and her team. We would like to send a sincere thank you from my family to GDPC.

We took too long in retaining Gina DeCrescenzo as our child’s attorney. We met with Gina for a consultation and received excellent advice which we implemented with some degree of success. However, convincing the school district to provide all the services our child needed was nearly impossible. As so...on as Gina started handling our child’s case, the school district was more flexible and willing to provide the services we had been requesting for years. In the end, with Gina’s help, the school district has agreed to provide all the services requested, improving our child’s quality life and consequently that of our entire family.

The IEP meetings with our daughter's school district where frustrating and full of brick walls. Sometimes key and reasonable accommodations were refused to be included for reasons we knew to be untrue. Other times previously agreed on accommodations never made it to the final document. We star...ted to bring a child advocate to the meetings who was dumbfounded by the district's stonewalling. It was time to seek help. Gina was recommended to us from a friend who works in child protective services. My wife and I were impressed with Gina right from the start. From our initial consult we felt we pick the right firm in deciding to move forward with filing a complaint against the school district. This feeling continued in the grueling, unpleasant and lengthy hearing process. Gina time and time again smartly and effectively handle all witnesses to expose deficiencies that bolstered our case. She understands that the parent decision in bringing legal action again your child's school district brings a variety of unique questions, worries, and the potential of sleepless nights. Gina made us feel very much at ease during the worst of it, even when it looked like the odds were way out of our favor and giving up looked likely. Our case was a long road. It was full of road blocks including an IHO who was not knowledgeable in special ed, dishonest witnesses, and a defense lawyer bully. Still Gina was able to navigate the storm and brought to light our daughter not receiving a FAPE. In the end, we prevailed. The victory doesn't end with the final verdict. Now, IEP meetings with the district truly focus on doing what's right for our daughter. Our case put the district on notice. They changed their tune knowing full well that Gina is only a phone call away.
