Mrs. Amster helped us get my son the services that he needs paid for in his private school. She was quick to respond she explained the process clearly she was accurate on the timeline and she was always available to answer my numerous questions. We are very happy with the outcome of our settlement and it would not have happened without Mrs. Amsters support and professional services.

As a special needs mom there is always a fight for services and when it comes to dealing with multiple systems Melissa was the only one I found that could help me with a long complicated Regional Center case. She helped me get organized obtain the right evidence and how to best present it to the judge. I had been dragging the issue for over four years and I know for a fact that if I hadnt consulted with Melissa it would still not be resolved. Im very thankful she was able to help me navigate the maze and most of all get the results we needed

Ms. Amster has been an invaluable part of my daughters team for a number of years. She has helped us more than once navigate IEP and due process. I have received more services for my daughter than I knew were possible. Her understanding of the regional center system and IHSS has also helped us receive a maximum amount of services and support. She has vast knowledge in all of these areas and is also understanding of the demands of parents that have children with special needs. I will continue to use her as part of my daughters team in all areas and highly recommend her to other parents that are struggling with the school district regional center or IHSS.

Amster Law Firm and James Diskint were professional knowledgeable and responsive in representing us with an appeal to IHSS. With their guidance they helped us to achieve a favorable outcome within a few months of retaining their services. James made himself available to answer any questions promptly. Thank you for a job well done Our family highly recommends their services.

We highly recommend Melissa we have retained her services twice for disputes with LAUSD. Being a parent of a child with special needs along with her expertise as an attorney provides her with a heightened level of understanding of the IEPDue Process situation. Not only is she dedicated to her profession she truly cares about her clients and does everything in her power to ensure your child receives FAPE.

I had a great experience with Mrs. Amster. Mrs. Amster came with me to the IEP and was able to negotiate a great deal with the school. Later Mrs. Amster came with me to the mediation at the LAUSD court again she helped me to get much needed services for my daughter. Im very grateful for Mrs. Amsters help in getting the special needs services for my daughter.
