Leona Zelda Goldshaw

Leona Goldshaw represented our son as an educational attorney. As background, our son has autism and medical conditions as well. He engages in self-harm and his IEP stated he should not be left alone. However, the school left him alone multiple times and he did injure himself. He also stayed in ...the hospital for two lengthy stays. I had hired multiple educational advocates to assist over this time period. But I did not get the help we needed. I was terrified to send him to school. We felt bullied and we felt our son was not being treated with dignity by so many people. If you have a special needs child, I think you understand this. We found out about Leona from a wonderful educational psychologist who said I need an attorney. I emailed Leona and she immediately responded. From my first conversation with Leona a weight lifted off our chest. She is a mother but more than that it is evident that she truly loves children. She worked day and many late nights to help my son. She is thorough, knowledgeable, respectful, and incredibly kind. She really helped our entire family because we were all broken and in despair. We reached a resolution that will make all the difference for our son. We are so grateful that we were given her name, and I want to return that favor by sharing her name with others. If you are being bullied, please know that Leona is strong. She knows the law regarding children. She is a champion for our most vulnerable and valuable family members, our children. She is a rare find in this world and an angel.

Leona Goldshaw did an excellent job representing us in trying to get accommodations for our child in school. Leona was knowledgeable, professional, detailed, kind and compassionate. She was available day and night to answer questions and offer guidance during what was a very difficult time for our ...family. She was a wonderful advocate for our child and even took time to speak with her and answer her questions and explain things to her. We are very thankful for all of her assistance and would highly recommend her!

Leona is the best of the best!!! She walked us through everything with our childs case, which was a stressful and trying time!! She provided direction when needed, and ensured we understood the entire process along with the law, everything from start to finish. Leona's passion and dedication to child...ren with special needs is superb. Her attention to detail during my childs case was spot on! She is very sweet, but don't let that fool you, she is also stern when need be, and an excellent communicator. Leonas availability and timeframe response was quick. She got things moving when they needed to. I can't thank leona enough for everything she has done for our family!!!

Leona Goldshaw exceeded all of our expectations! Being in the midst of fighting for your child and dealing with school districts is frustrating and having the right person in your corner makes sense! From the first moment we met I could feel she actually cared about her clients. Leona was thoroug...h in her research and her attention to detail were phenomenal! Time was never an issue as Leona worked day and night to make sure the lines of communication were always open. As of today we are going on the 4th week of school and my son is proof that even the most complex of kids have an appropriate fit in the school system somewhere. Leona will guide you, mentor as well as educate you on your Childs rights, she will be patient and always so very kind. We are forever indebted to her professionalism, the love she has for her job and for one of the kindest human beings I have met during our journey!
