Adam Marshall Wasserman

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.

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.

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.

Adam is a compassionate and caring person. My son's IEP was inadequate and he was not receiving the proper services. Adam took the time to talk to my son one-on-one to hear his perspective so he could support our family completely during the entire process. My son said, "He was very attentive and d...own to earth." Adam is incredibly knowledgeable with the IEP process and with learning disabilities and continues to guide us. Adam is the guardian angel for anyone who needs help advocating for their child's rights.

We have been working with Adam for the past year for our high school son. Adam has been a great partner for us in ensuring that our son got the right support and services from the school district. He has been very responsive and listens to our concerns patiently, understands our concerns and is a ver...y good advisor. He actively participates in the meetings and discussions, and has worked with the school district in getting everything in place so that our son's education program progresses smoothly. Thank you, Adam.
