I have a 19-year-old non-verbal autistic son who I moved to NJ from California. To tell you that his case was one of the most difficult out there is an understatement -- simply ask his California representation. One of the reasons why NJ became the viable choice for our family was Staci--her expertise is unparalleled, her tenacity matched our families then went beyond. I've never experienced an attorney so invested. To top all of this, her positive never-give-up attitude kept us going. I'm here to tell you that we were in a dog-fight for over 10 years, 3 of them seemed so bleak that we were facing the worst version of options out there for parents and for our son. But every time we hit a dead-end, Staci would find some miraculous way around it -- I'm seriously describing super-hero versions of ways around the impossible. Most recently we had what would be deemed as a miracle result of our boy. He had started out looking at life in the worst version lock-down psychiatric facility with no options, and he is now in full-support, completely held and respected residential home, beyond all the nay-sayers, and no's that we had faced for years -- I can easily say that this was done because of Staci. I would tell you she's magic, but I'd be robbing her of the bow she deserves for all the sleepless hours of coming up with another way to solve the impossible, and then doing it!. She's brilliant. Anyone who has the luck of even a consult with her should count their blessings and hold onto every ounce of her years of honed advice and natural intuition.

Meeting and working with Staci was an absolutely phenomenal experience. I consulted with her twice before hiring her because she was so incredibly honest with a devotion to ensure her guidance was understood and that we made an informed decision about how to proceed. Staci was very clear about what our complaint against the school district might cost our family emotionally as well as financially but we trusted her implicitly, and for good reason. Once hired, Staci brought us very quickly to the exact resolution we wanted with our district. Her nimble understanding of the details of our very complex situation saved us what I'm positive would have cost us thousands more in dollars, and an unquantifiable amount more emotionally had we used a different lawyer. Staci is living proof that there are people who want justice for the special needs population, who've made it a career, not for ego, or self-interest, but for the true good of each student. My highest regards to Staci and team, I cannot recommend her highly enough!

I contacted Staci to help me with school issues I was having with my autistic son, who was terminated from a school for autism. I contacted her feeling defeated and felt empowered by the end of our conversation. She was kind, caring, empathetic, and real. She did more then we ever had hoped for and we are grateful.

My son is now 35 yrs. old. He has autism, which was not even known as it is today, when PJ was just a little kid. Because of the work....no, the dedication...of this team, my son is living a full, active, community centered life. Non-verbal, and not expected to even live past age 4, this guy has out performed every single doctor in predicting his own future! Don't fear your child's future with Staci and the helm....she will do all in her power to honor each child's right to the best education, and the best life possible. We all need an advocate to work with the complex education systems in place.....you will be happy with Staci and this wonderful team of specialists! She's got your back.

Staci Greenwald is the second attorney I have used for my son. I wish I had called her the first time! Ms. Greenwald's ability and knowledge is surpassed only by her clear headed, practical orientation to keeping the conversation focused on the needs of the child. I dare not even imagine where we would be without her help getting the school district to understand my son's needs and rights. Moreover, she was able to do it without having to go to court! Her focus is on doing the right thing, not rushing to trial to wrack up billable hours. Finally, it helps to know that she is on the same journey we are on and as a fellow Mom has that much needed sense of humor!

My family has been forever changed thanks to the outstanding services provided by Staci. From the very first time that we had our consultation, to the day that I received the phone call that we had won our fight, Staci, has provided hope and support for my husband and I. Her goal has always been to do what was right for my children in the quickest, most financially attainable, and effective manner. It was comforting to know that our communication was constant and she was always available for us when we had questions or concerns. We are forever grateful for her knowledge of my children's rights and her true concern for their well being. A++++++++++++++!

Mrs. Greenwald is an amazing lawyer! She was very meticulous when handling our sons case. Given her background as a certified teacher of the handicapped and her education in speech/hearing gives Mrs. Greenwald complete knowledge of both special education and the legal system. She has made an incredible impact in our son's education and our family! I highly recommend Mrs. Greenwald services to all parents of children with special needs.
