I cannot recommend David German and the team at Vanaman German LLP highly enough. David and his staff were incredibly responsive and effective, even under a tight timeline. Despite my daily requests for updates and clarifications, they were always patient, kind, and supportive. Their calm professionalism was a much-needed anchor during such a stressful time. David's dedication to my daughter and his exceptional legal expertise exceeded all expectations.

David German is an exceptional educational attorney. He assisted us in securing an IEP for our child after a year of residential treatment, as well as obtaining pre-IEP reimbursement and post-IEP benefits which were significant. When facing the financial strain of teen mental health and ability to access their education, David's expertise in assisting with obtaining an IEP and recouping Pre & Post IEP expenses has been invaluable. Thanks to his assistance, we can continue supporting our child effectively. For anyone seeking an exceptional and effective educational attorney, David German is the go-to choice.

In a time of need, David German was quick to respond. He was kind and attentive and his experience and wisdom were invaluable. We were beyond satisfied with our results and highly recommend him to other families.

David took our case very seriously and went beyond to advocate strongly for my son. He believes in inclusion, and when a lawyer believes in Inclusion, he knows what the students need and the resources to deliver the appropriate services to the student. My heart is so grateful!

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 child's 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

David was very helpful, professional and experienced in his space advocating for student/parent rights in our situation. He was very accomodating considering that we are both working parents. We would have no problem recommending him to anyone else

We were referred to David by our advocate. We had previously consulted with another attorney which wasn't a good fit for our family's 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 David's 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 hopped 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 can't 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 son's educational journey. Raffaella, his assistant, is also wonderful! Very prompt with communication and so sweet! Thank you David and Raffaella!

David proved to be an excellent assistance in our search for a lawyer to assist us in receiving the educational services our daughter needs. He gave us the legal help we needed during a trying time with his knowledge, concern and dedication to getting things done. We strongly recommend David and his law practice to anybody looking for a sympathetic and knowledgeable advocate in education-related legal concerns.

David German at Vanaman German is a remarkable attorney and is genuinely passionate about educational rights. He handled my son’s case quickly and efficiently, I couldn’t believe it! I wish I would have known about him sooner. If you’re looking for an attorney who will give you a clear plan of action, set expectations, advocate for your family, and get the job done, this is your guy!

Home Run. David German is head and shoulder above any special education attorney. His reputation and methods work wonders with public school districts. When we had no hope and an extremely resistant school district, he created a win-win environment. We returned with service beyond our expectations and afterward had a better working relationship with the district employee. He is honest about your case, sets clear expectations, and takes the time to listen and explain. He even has extensive experience with therapeutic boarding school placements and payments.

David German came highly recommended to us and we could not be happier with the results. David is an extremely knowledgeable attorney who explained the process from beginning to end. He was supportive and dedicated to our daughter’s case. He was quick to answer any questions we had. When it came time to deal with the school district, David was strong and professional. He understood what our daughter needed and was successful in obtaining it for her. Because of David, we know that our daughter is now on the right path to receive the best education. We highly recommend David to any parent looking for a strong advocate for their child’s education.

David is a fantastic and very professional. I'd recommend David to any family who need education-related issue.
