Leona Zelda Goldshaw

There aren't words to describe how incredible of an Attorney Leona Z. Goldshaw is. My experience with her has been nothing short of amazing. She truly embodies the meaning of the word "Counselor" and I am forever grateful. At a time when I felt powerless, advocating for my child, she focused on t...he meat of case with laser precision, while delivering an incredible sense of calm command and explaining every aspect clearly. I never felt alone thru it all and can say with confidence that she truly cares about every client she represents. Her empathy is unsurpassed and is present in every moment she championed my child's case. I truly cannot say enough good things about her fierce advocacy in ensuring your child's rights are protected & how much of a joy she is to work with.

I consulted Ms. Goldshaw for help with a school district and special education issue. She was very kind, knowledgeable and explained everything clearly and calmly. She listened carefully and gave honest, practical advice. Even though English is not our first language, she was very respectful, pati...ent, and made sure we understood everything. She helped me feel more confident about what to do next, and we were very happy with her legal representation and the outcome. I would definitely recommend her.

I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the incredible support and advocacy that Leona provided for my family during such a challenging time. As a mother of an almost nonverbal child with autism, my journey to secure the necessary support from our school district felt overwhelming and often hop...eless. Despite my tireless efforts to work collaboratively with the school team and outside agencies, I felt helpless when I saw my child not making the progress I knew he was capable of. Initially, I sought the help of another lawyer, but I quickly realized we were not on the same page. She pushed me to sign a flawed IEP containing recycled goals that would not benefit my child. She even pressured me to sign with reservations, suggesting we should take compensatory education and move my child to 3rd grade, all while knowing that he had already lost three years of learning in the same environment. This left me feeling disheartened and fearful that I would never find someone who truly understood my child as a person. Then I was introduced to Leona, and it was a true godsend. From our very first meeting, I could feel that her heart was in the right place. She saw my child not just as a case, but as a unique individual deserving of care and support. Her knowledge of special education law is impressive, and she took the time to prep me in a way that was easy to understand. Leona's kindness, organization, and thoroughness gave me a newfound sense of hope and confidence as we navigated the complex system together. Thanks to her advocacy, my child has changed placements and made tremendous progress. I am overwhelmed with joy and gratitude—it truly brings tears to my eyes. I wholeheartedly recommend Leona to any parent seeking a passionate, knowledgeable, and compassionate advocate for their child. She has made a profound difference in our lives, and I will be forever grateful for everything she has done for my family. Thank you, Leona!
