Georgianna Junco Kelman

To say that Mrs. Kelman has helped us in our journey with IEP and district processes is an understatement! For years she has been nothing short of instrumental in spearheading our boys' educations and ensuring they receive the resources that they are LEGALLY entitled to. All too often the schools h...ave attempted short-selling my boys with less-than-mediocre services which they surely would not have benefited from, and Georgianna has kept an eagle eye on how the schools attempted to bypass appropriate programs and services in order to save their dime! Not on her watch!!! Georgianna has protected our boys with her keen understanding of special education laws and has managed to obtain the rightful assistance from the district, and they continue to thrive under her protection. She leaves no stone unturned in finding new ways to obtain the proper accommodations for our children. Additionally, Ms. Kelman's heart is bigger than I could have ever imagined! As a mother of 3 children herself, she understands a parent's fears and plight down this road and literally becomes emotionally invested in her case. You witness that when the momma bear in her comes out during IEP's...she is absolutely fierce and she wins (so bring your popcorn 'cause it's fun to watch)! She is a God-sent to our boys and I cannot thank my lucky stars enough for finding this amazing warrior and having her help us re-direct the trajectory of our boys' academic lives!!! Simply put, you will not find a better advocate for your child. I know I won't.

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.

Oh man, where do I start? Have you ever felt like the school district is leading you down the wrong path, and pushing against you at every turn? Feel like your failing your child because your lack of knowledge of how IEPs and ISPs work? We were so blinded by what we were being told buy our school ...district that we took it as fact. Georgianna and her team are just amazing. We explained out heartache and headaches about our situation, and her depth of knowledge was so refreshing and gave us HOPE. Hope people! There is hope when you have someone on your side. The process alone is enough to make this man completely frustrated, but I felt relief that Ms. Junco Kelman was on our side. Her professionalism is amazing, and everything is detailed so all your expectations can be met. She will be with us in the future! No more shopping for your attorney, hire this team!

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.

We had an issue with LAUSD with respect to appropriate care for our disabled child in middle school. She knows the law and importantly, the system at LAUSD, really well. Before hiring her, we spent months fighting with the school and the school district, getting stonewalled. We were forced to file... for Due Process and I wanted someone who would come out guns a blazing so we hired Georgianna. Within a few weeks after filing Due Process we got everything we wanted and then some. Georgianna is a great attorney that solves problems efficiently and will fight hard for you.
