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.

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

Great lawyers, caring , involved, helpful, advocate for our kids

David did a great job for us. He is knowledgeable in parents / student rights and was very patient with our case for our son. We would have no problem recommending him to friends that may have have the same dilemma we had

We were referred to David by our advocate. We had previously consulted with another attorney which wasn't a good fit for 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 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 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.

We worked with David German at Vanaman German LLP and could not be happier with the dedication and support David provided to our daughter’s case. David is extremely knowledgeable and helped us understand the process throughout. It was apparent from the start how much David cared about us. We highly recommend Vanaman German LLP to any family looking for a strong partner in their advocacy for their child’s education.

David German is a serious, yet easy going guy who negotiated a favorable reimbursement from LAUSD for the special education costs required for our child. He and his staff are refreshingly empathetic, efficient, and effective. I'm so thankful for how much they have helped our family. We will continue to work with them until our child graduates high school. Highly recommend!!!

David is a no-nonsense and the greatest attorney our family ever have. David is very patient and understands hardship of the family who have a special need kid. While other attorneys who charged you for every email replies and every phone call they made, David does not charge anything for phone calls or email that he sent. David even claimed the attorney fee from my previous arrorney for me. I highly and strongly recommend David to anyone.

I worked with David German who is excellent and compassionate. His knowledge of special education law is obviously exhaustive, and he is highly skilled at translating that complexity to clients. His staff are professional and kind and respond to emails and phone calls very quickly. Above all David's compassion centers the child at the heart of special education, making him a fierce advocate. I'm grateful to have been represented by him and his firm and highly recommend him.
