Helped us re-enroll in our Magnet school

LAUSD Choices program is very unclear on the rules surrounding their Magnet program, and we were un-enrolled from our preferred Magnet school. With Chris' deep knowledge of IEPs and LAUSD we were able to successfully fight and win our spot at the Magnet back. Thanks Chris!

Terrific IEP Lawyer!

Our case was not easy. Our high functioning child with ASD / ADHD had been regularly denied services by LAUSD. Chris changed that. His knowledge, experience and kindness provided our child the opportunity to finally start receiving the services she deserves. Thanks you Chris!

So grateful for Chris

Chris worked on a case for my son against a school district that had failed to provide adequate supports and accommodations given his learning differences that resulted from a history of seizures. I was nervous about taking action, but I immediately trusted Chris. He guided the process with transpare...ncy that set me at ease and was smart, clear, and strategic and ultimately led us to the desired outcome. It is very intimidating to proceed with an action, but with Chris in our corner, we were in good hands. He’s a compassionate human, a fellow parent, and his work is a personal mission. I am so grateful to have found him and had him on the case.

Thankful and great full.

I found Christopher Eisenberg online and gave him a call. He’s a great man. From first contact, initial interview, he understood my sons needs. Chris did several things for my son to set him on a path to success. From filing a due process complaint, getting my son assed ,gettin IEP, finding his need...s, and fulfilling them. Thanks to Chris, my son has made great progress.

Unlimited praise for Chris Eisenberg

As too many parents with children on the spectrum discover, there is precious little help available in difficult and strenuous times. That is why I’m wholeheartedly recommending Chris Eisenberg as a talented and compassionate advocate/lawyer in dealing with public school districts, I.E.P.’s and schoo...l support to move an autistic child to a Residential Treatment Center at the school’s expense. (These RTC’s can cost as much as $30,000 per month!) Chris is a deeply compassionate man who has the perfect temperament and knowledge to move through a school district’s bureaucracy and endless red tape. He was a miracle worker for our son who is now, finally, making progress at a boarding school specializing in spectrum disorders. Without Chris’ advice and effective advocacy, I doubt this would have ever been possible. Kindness, compassion, knowledge and skill: he brings these to every phone call and meeting both with the parents and the school administrators. If you are thinking, like so many lawyers, they will break the bank, think again. Chris is reasonable and, throughout our dealings, he never watched the clock nor did things to rack up fees. To have his experience and talent and to work with families to make his services affordable is a combo you rarely find. Please call him immediately if your situation fits this description. You cannot go wrong with this miracle of a professional.
