“My wife and I worked closely with Michelle for seven months as our son went through the Turning 5 Process. We consider ourselves very fortunate to have an attorney as intelligent, articulate and compassionate as Michelle. At the very first meeting. Michelle took the time to understand our specific situation, explain the daunting process to us, and empathize with us. Going forward, she was very responsive to our endless questions and provided us with a range of options available to our son. Her counsel did not end with legal matters; rather, she also referred us to an excellent neuropsychologist, discussed different schooling options and connected us with parents who have children in special needs schools, so we could learn more about their institution.Prior to our DOE meeting, she not only thoroughly prepared us, but she also worked with our son’s other advocates to make sure we as a team got our son what he needed. Ultimately, we prevailed. While there are many excellent attorneys, we chose Michelle because we knew she would tirelessly advocate for our son as if he was her own child.”
