Vanaman German LLP

David German has been advocating for my son for 7 years. He has navigated through 2 school districts and gotten him support that we did not know was available. He has been an invaluable asset to our family. He is one of the brightest attorneys that I have ever met and his knowledge base is incredibly broad. His office is very organized efficient and easy to work with.Our son has gone from a shut down child who hates school to a thriving learner because of the efforts of Vanaman German and specifically David German.

David German has been an amazing resource for our family. When our daughter was mainstreamed and we found a school to support her development David and his team supported us through the IEP process and have been invaluable along the way. A referral to The Vanaman German firm from the Special Needs Network changed the trajectory of our daughters elementary and now high school experience We highly recommend visiting David for a consultation especially if you have a child on the spectrum who attends a school in the valley.

David German has been incredibly helpful working with my family and the school district to ensure that my daughter can access a free and appropriate education. He is extremely knowledgeable patient and responsive. The office staff is very organized. I highly recommend his service for parents navigating special education for their child.

David German was a phenomenal lawyer in a time of crisis for our family. He was so generous with his time and his wisdom and guidance were extraordinary. Working with this firm was an effortless and wonderful experience from start to finish. Cant recommend this David and the firm enough

We were in very stressful situation with my sons school district wanting to expell him. I was losing all hope that I was going to find someone to help us. I was getting the run around and getting Nos that they werent able to help. After 3 weeks of that I did lose hope. I contacted Mr.Germans office his assistant was very nice and professional. Mr. German was very nice and patient and explained the process and told us the next step on what to do to possibly prevent expulsion. The final outcome was Mr.German was able to help us stop the expulsion. He was very generous with his timevery compassionate very patient. He is a phenomenal lawyer. We will always be so very grateful for his help. I would 100 percent recommend his services.

Advocating for your child to receive the education they deserve which is their right is incredibly challenging. I was introduced to Jodi Bynder thru our Educational Consultant and she has been an incredible advocate. Jodi is a legal expert in educational rights for special needs children. Between her deep knowledge of the law professionalism and empathy she successfully navigated us through this difficult time. I especially appreciate her ability to discuss the pros and cons of each step of the process in a way that was easy to understand while at the same time sensitive that this was an emotional challenging situation for our family. I highly recommend Jodi as an advocate for your child she will guide you to the right result.

David German was an invaluable resource for us in our dispute with the Burbank School District. During our consultation David immediately discussed next steps and actions to take - not questioning the validity of our claim at all. He clearly explained the process and answered our questions. He handled our mediation very well and we are happy with the outcome of our settlement.

Dina Kaplan was an amazing attorney. She not only helped me navigate the byzantine web that is LAUSD bureaucracy but helped our family achieve our desired goal in just a few months time. She is also extremely prompt about returning phone calls and always explains the process to let you know where you are and what is going on. Worth every penny.

We were referred to David by our advocate. We had previously consulted with another attorney which wasnt a good fit for familys situation. Our consultation with David was different. You can tell right away that he has experience in all facets of sp. ed. and advocates for people like us to be heard and validated. Being a resident of Orange County I was concerned that Davids law firm is far away in LA County. However I felt reassured knowing that he has extensive experience with many school districts. He is very smart and speaks loads of information but in language that makes sense to the non lawyer person. He was patient and was happy to hop on a phone call to break down our documents. Fortunately we had a favorable outcome and I had this overwhelming sense of emotion that we did everything we could to help our son thrive and succeed with the right supports in place. David was instrumental to making this happen. My husband and I cant thank David enough for helping us and advocating for our family. Our stress and anxiety levels were reduced tremendously and we will continue to have David along on our sons educational journey. Raffaella his assistant is also wonderful Very prompt with communication and so sweet Thank you David and Raffaella

We feel very lucky to have found David German David and the folks in his office specifically Rara are tremendous First you know they care about you and your childs situation from the get go. Then they made the entire process of seeking a reimbursement from LAUSD as smooth and easy as possible. Throughout it David was clear communicative caring and directed us at every turn. We got a very favorable outcome in dealing with LAUSD and David made it all possible. David and the people in his office are really something special.Thanks Gang AB
