Adam Marshall Wasserman

I am incredibly grateful for the legal guidance and advocacy I received from Mr. Wasserman during a critical time in my son’s special education journey. His knowledge of special education law, attention to detail, and ability to clearly explain options made an overwhelming process feel manageable. ... Ms. Zuniga, the paralegal, was consistently responsive and kind, which made a meaningful difference during an already stressful process. Thanks to their support, my son received an appropriate school placement and the services he truly needed, and the progress he has made since then has been remarkable. Even a year later, the impact of their work continues to positively shape his educational experience. I would highly recommend Mr. Wasserman and his team to any family navigating special education services who needs knowledgeable, compassionate, and effective advocates.

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.

My 12 yr old Son fell between every crack in the public school setting, referred to as disturbed, troubled, and dumb, he was bullied by students and staff alike. My story is long and hard to hear. I was referred to Adam and within 24 hours he called to talk to me about my son. Every question was only... about him and what he was experiencing and how he could possibly help. I have never met anyone that clearly cared about my son every step of every decision. He never questioned what my family could afford and what that could mean ( as far as helping us) to my son's future. We worked out a plan that was in the best interest of my son and our family. When I was feeling so broken and the feelings of failure overwhelmed me, he gave me strength and knowledge. There is nothing worse than my feelings of hopelessness. The case is over, and now we feel unfettered from the leash that the school system had on us. Adam did that for us. No one else could. I am forever grateful.

We felt hopeless when we came to Mr. Wasserman about our son’s education. He was not getting the help he needed and even after we made clear cut requests we made little to no progress with the district. I came to see Mr. Wasserman and he immediately got to work on our son’s case. He reassured us and... gave us the crucial information we needed. He was an invaluable ally in IEP meetings, and made sure that our son got what he needed to have the education he deserves, and that works for him. I sleep better at night thanks to Mr. Wasserman’s tireless work and passion for our son’s case. I know he has a much better chance in life now.

We had struggles with the school district that seemed to be never ending. We tried to work with counselors, principal and anyone that would listen from the school district. Our son was in an IEP and had made reasonable grades to be assigned Gen Ed going into High School. The school wouldn’t budge. We... hired an educational advocate. Still no success despite dropping a large sum of money. We were referred to Adam through a family friend and he immediately took charge with the district upon a positive initial consultation and worked diligently to achieve our goal. He was familiar with the circumstances and helped our son get on the right path to have all of his options open for college or whatever he decides when ready. Do not waste time or money with an advocate unless you have an extremely simple situation that you have been unable to resolve. Adam is a complete professional with the passion and drive to make things right when you feel the odds are stacked against you. I absolutely recommend him for any educational legal needs especially within the LVUSD school district.
