Surisa Evelyn Rivers

Better than what we anticipated from a typical attorneys! We hired an Attorney from Rivers Law Firm for helping to deal with the school district regarding placement of our son's NPS/school. We tried tirelessly to communicate to the district to get the help but nothing seemed to be working. District n...ot intend to respond to us for nine months long upon our emails and from our last iep signatures, To come up with the solutions. It pushed us to seek help using an attorney.  With The help of the attorney: The district finally responded and we have the school we want and the transition has taken place and the placement process went smoothly. We also got settled with an agreement for the Compensatory Education for our son entitled services that had been lost.  But the details to the Question is why did we move forward with Rivers Law Firm? The answer: It is based on Clients' Experiences pre contract agreement. It is important for us to decide if we like to proceed to hire that attorney or otherwise.  It is true as a matter of fact: We need professional help and they can be the hero to our issue. But without our decision to move forward, most likely there won't be a business happening. So based on that we share here what we found as client's of Rivers Law Firm and who represent us: We have Surisa to help us as our attorney.  She's profesional, has long knowledge and experience in special education law and To our Surprise: she actually has a kind and patient heart, even by the time we met her for a consultation, She was in condition of post leg surgery but she still had met us for the scheduled session. We should say; Surisa is a type of down to earth attorney, She was willing to have time to listen and give us insight on law and suggestions in terms of law perspective around Special Education. Her approach to potential and already clients are over delivered and what we felt was more family/friends kind of vibes rather than merely transactional business as usual kind of relationship. Indeed at the end she represented us with her role and duty that followed dues as the services that had been served. But owning experience itself brought value.  We as parents who have a special needs child highly recommend her to fellow parents who having the same child situation while facing difficulty with the public special education To contact Rivers Law Firm for a consultation.

Rivers Law Office is distinguished as one of the finest legal practices in the Los Angeles area—exemplifying professionalism, honesty, and respect. They exceeded expectations in facilitating the transfer of my son to another school, offering steadfast support. Notably, during payment discussions, Mrs.... Surisa Rivera displayed remarkable openness and never insisted on any payment. Both Mrs. Surisa Rivera and Mr. James Golfo are exceptionally kind individuals. We wholeheartedly recommend this office to anyone worldwide. Thank you.

I absolutely recommend Surisa Rivers to fight for your children's rights. Most parents don't know or understand what their children are entitled to in order to be successful in school. Surisa will explain everything to you and will stand by your side every step of the way whether it be at an IEP me...eting, email or by phone. I'm completely appreciative to her and all the work she puts in, she definitely has a heart of gold. Thank you so much for believing in my children and being their voice. #AutismMatters

We contacted Ms. Rivers to assist us in getting our high school-aged daughter qualified for special education and comp-ed time to make up for the lack of help that the district failed to provide to her over the years. Ms. Rivers reviewed our information, provided excellent guidance, filed the necessa...ry paperwork to get the district moving in the right direction, and attended the IEP meeting with us to get what was needed for our daughter. Our prior attempts without her ended in a great deal of frustration for our family. I highly recommend retaining Ms. Rivers, and for many districts, retaining an attorney such as Ms. Rivers is the only way to get fair representation in the special education arena.
