Very effective

Adam successfully negotiated with our public high school/district to allow our child to be able to take a core class at a private school after they had firmly denied our request. He was easy to deal with and repeatedly got results for us we could not get on our own.

Awesome Adam

I am writing to formally recognize and acknowledge Adams commitment to my daughters needs and education. Adams' dedication to her and our family has improved each of our lives. Had it not been for Adam we would still be in despair and fighting the school districts endlessly with minimal results. A d...aunting and exhausting task for even the strongest of families and breaking them to defeat and tears. Believe me when I tell you to, trust Adam. Adam, truly carries and holds your family dear while getting awesome results for your child. I could write a page about AWESOME ADAM easily however I know people tend to skim read so I wanted to emphasize some key truths about Awesome Adam. He listens. He cares. He gets results. Adam will work with you and your family to achieve FAPE and the ability to breathe again. Awesome Adam, Kieley and I want to Thank you for giving her a future, a chance in life, listening and never giving up. You are truly Awesome Adam. Time to celebrate. We are looking forward to the next 3 years with you, your team and seeing you at Kieley's Graduation! Sincerely, Kelly and Kieley

Adam is the whole package

Two years ago I walked in blindly and alone to an IEP meeting with zero knowledge and I came off that way. I was presented with a whole lot of district jargon that just confused me entirely. I walked out of there feeling helpless and incompetent on how I was going to get my son the help he so desper...ately needed. Knowing that I needed help I started researching. Advocates, lawyers, consultants but none of them offered what we found in Adam. Adam has a plethora of knowledge within the education system. He has years of experience. He downright gets it! Adam held our hand every step of the way. In the two years that we worked with Adam every single text, email and phone call was returned and answered promptly, he also attended every single IEP meeting and saw them through fruition. He fought very diligently and professionally for our son. He also assisted us with getting reimbursed for private aid fees we had to incur as well as extra tutoring which is doing wonders for our son. Adam is the whole package.

Best Education Lawyer Out There

We retained Mr. Wasserman to represent our 10th grader who was quickly falling between the cracks and beginning to fail in her classes. There was no support and her self esteem was crumbling. In our meeting with the school and District present, Mr. Wasserman completely transformed the schools ...dynamic towards us from one of invisibility and helplessness with no school support to one of responsiveness and accessibility. We know that we have rights and the Districts obligation is to honor them. In the past they made us feel like they were doing us a favor and giving us bread crumbs when they felt like it. Mr. Wasserman skillfully held them to account and we are now getting the services and assistance our child deserves. We are very lucky to have Mr. Wasserman’s counsel, clarity, and advocacy as he continues to represent our child’s best interest. In short he gave us our power back.

Thank you!

My daughter was struggling in school and the District was dragging out the IEP process. He was very effective in dealing with the District and got her the services she needed. She is now back on track and will be graduating with her class this year. Without Adam’s help this would not have been possi...ble. I highly recommend him.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. Adam is an amazing education lawyer not just because of his legal skill but because he deeply cares about his clients and the challenges they face. I don't think you will find another lawyer with Adam's combination of knowledge of education law and passion for protecting the educational rights of children. As a parent myself, I never had to deal with a child with learning disabilities nor did I have to battle schools to provide proper resources and protection for my children. I can't imagine the horrible stress from having a vulnerable child that the school had cast aside. Even as a lawyer myself, I would not want to have to do this alone. I would someone like Adam on my side and the side of my child."
