Georgianna Junco Kelman

If you want the very best attorney that specializes in advocacy for special needs children then look no further. Georgianna has a very unique background because besides being one of the best lawyers I've ever worked with, she is also the mother of a special needs child and so she feels your pain and... anticipates every detail because she has been there time and time again. I've been in business for a very long time and have used attorneys from all different practices and Georgianna is far and away the best of the best in her field. She has a commanding presence, extensive expertise and a driving passion that very few people I've ever met possess. There are many who are good, a few that are great, but there is only one BEST! Georgianna is the Best!

My experience with Georgianna and her assistant Isabel were beyond my expectations. I spoke with Georgianna on the phone and knew right away that she would be the right attorney to take our case. She told me it would be a battle but a battle worth fighting for. She fought hard for my daughter who h...ad been improperly placed in a very restrictive setting for a very long time. Georgianna came to the first IEP meeting with a lot of knowledge and was very passionate about the antiquated school model. She never waivered in her commitment to getting my daughter what was appropriate for her. She is passionate about children with special needs and the importance of inclusion, and, made that very clear to the school district during the many meetings that we had. To say I am impressed with Georgianna would be an understatement. She and her assistant were both readily available via phone or email to answer any we had over the course of the one and a half years that we worked with her. She truly went above and beyond in so many ways during this very difficult process. After many IEP meetings, resolution meetings, and mediation meetings Georgianna was able to secure a favorable outcome which was not an easy task with our school district. I feel very fortunate to have someone who is so passionate about my daughter's future on our team as we continue to navigate through the school system. I highly recommend Georgianna if you are looking for a knowledgeable and compassionate attorney who will fight for you and for your child.

Georgianna Kelman was a Godsend to my family. Even though she specializes in children, she took on my adult LPS conserved son to help us in a fight with the Regional Center over covering appropriate service's for my son's many needs. From my first call with her, when I expected her to pass on our cas...e because my son is in his 20's, I was taken in by her passion and sincere desire to do anything in her power to help us out. Georgianna knows the law, the system, and her adversaries on the other side. Throughout our preparations, she was meticulous, strategic, straight shooting, and a fierce advocate for our son's rights. Georgianna was always available to me, and as we got closer to our hearing she or Isabel would respond to my emails and calls, often within minutes, sometimes on the weekends too. She ended up working tirelessly to solve our problems, and most importantly, to insure that our son would get the services that he deserved. I have nothing but the highest praise and gratitude for Georgianna and everything she did for our family.

Georgianna Junco Kelman has been such a blessing in my life, where do I even begin. After four years of strongly advocating for my daughter, and still the school district refusing to provide the resources and support for my daughter I knew my only option at this point was to hire a lawyer. Georgi...anna is passionate about advocating for children with disabilities, and her goal is to get them the support they need and won't stop till shes satisfied with the outcome. Her expertise in special education holds herself to the highest standard. Additionally, Isabel her assistant has been beyond helpful and supportive in guiding me through the process, she goes above and beyond. My outcome has been far greater than what I even expected. Georgianna is one highly intelligent fearless woman, hearing her advocate for my daughter almost brought me to tears. This has been such an emotional journey that not many people can relate too, and Georgianna helped relieve a lot of that stress. With the support implemented my daughter has made substantial progress. I highly recommend her, shes an amazing ethical lawyer with a heart of gold.

Georgianna Junco Kelman was a superb attorney representing my son in fighting for his needs against our school district. She was highly knowledgeable about the process and very assertive in dealing with the school personnel and district administrators. Ms. Kelman was able to cut right through the bu...reaucracy and the shirking of responsibility from the administrators and she was able to get us even better than what we initially asked for in our complaint. I believe that much of her determination and will comes from her own maternal instincts with her own special needs child and direct first hand experience fighting for his needs. Ms. Kelman is extremely knowledgeable in her field and knows how to push the right buttons to make things happen. I highly recommend Ms. Kelman.
