Danielle will fight for you and your children until they get what they deserve.”

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about our experience with this law firm and the people working there. Special education can be a nightmare, but Edwin, Aly, Sylvia and Sheila helped us cross the finish line with ardor, integrity and honesty. They came to our aid when we needed them most and with Edwin leading the charge, I never felt like it was anything they couldn’t handle. Edwin always had a plan and talked me through each step. A true hand on your back through the entire process start to finish. Even as we work through service providers for my son, I have yet to find one who doesn’t recommend Augustine Egelsee. Please do yourself a favor and go here first. You won’t regret it.”
“Words cannot express how grateful I am for everyone at Augustin Egelsee LLP. After 6+ years of struggling to get my daughter the proper accommodations and placement, I was exhausted, and beginning to believe I was fighting a losing battle. I had contacted multiple advocates and special education attorneys, all of which informed me it was a complicated case, and did not return further calls. I worked directly with Sheila and Edwin, and they walked me through every step of the process to get my daughter placed in an appropriate setting. Everyone I had contact with at the office treated me like I was their only client, with true care and concern for not only my daughter’s wellbeing, but mine as well. Edwin is a brilliant attorney; He sat with me prior to our first meeting with the district, and made what felt like light conversation, but walked into the meeting and spoke about my daughter as if he had known her for her entire life. For the first time in my daughter’s life, she is in an appropriate setting, getting the support she needs to succeed. I am eternally grateful for everyone at the law offices of Augustin Egelsee for fighting for my daughter.”
“Danielle and her amazing team were a huge blessing for us. Our case was complex and emotional, but they were super informed because they knew every single detail of our son’s case. Danielle really stood out with her professionalism and deep knowledge of the legal system, especially when things were toughest for us. We were so thankful a close friend, who’s been in the field forever and only heard good stuff about Augustin Egelsee, pointed us to Danielle. Now we can share our own positive experience. Thank you for everything is the least we can possibly say. You will be on our Christmas card list for life!”
“We found ourselves in a position only resolvable with legal counsel. Danielle Augustin is incredibly professional, poised, extremely knowledgeable, and well respected. She explained the whole legal process and has been with us every step of the way. We do not attend an IEP without her. No one wants to get to the point where they need to hire an attorney for their child. If you find yourself at that point, I cannot recommend Augustin Egelsee enough. Their staff has made a process that is daunting, emotional, frustrating, and confusing, much smoother, and clear. Everyone we have encountered has been a pleasure to work with and we truly feel as though we have someone in our corner. The communication is of the highest caliber and extremely prompt. Augustin Egelsee has been invaluable in our kids educational experience and services provided.”
“We were very fortunate to find Danielle Augustin online. I contacted the office and talked to Sylvia Abad who I explained our situation to. After speaking to Danielle Augustin I had no doubt I wanted them to represent us. There are so many great things I can tell about their whole office team that I won’t finish in a day! They always pick up the phone, always have advice, always prompt and punctual, amazing attitude, extremely knowledgeable, they are masters of what they are doing- protecting our kids from a non-justice! As we live far from the office we had phone meetings, constant emails back and forth, they never made us wait on anything, everything was done on time, and with a smile. They are the best attorney team that I’ve ever had a chance to work with! They became a part of our family during the hard times of the problem my daughter was going through. Danielle Augustin is an incredible lawyer with one family like team. They are on top of everything. And after them fighting for us, our rights, our case was a winner! We got so many great complements about the choice of our attorney. The District was speechless! I am extremely thankful to them and will never forget the support and effort they provided us with throughout the process of a recommended expulsion from the district although my daughter wasn’t guilty in the district accusations. They fought for us! We won! Thank you So So much!!!”

“Our son didn’t have the most clear-cut case, but Danielle and her team worked tirelessly and effectively to get him the services he needed. We could not get our school team to move an inch to help our son, but having Danielle at our IEP changed everything! We cannot say enough – she is kind, incredibly smart, and she does not back down when it comes to a child in need. The team do not miss a beat – the efficiency and communication were beyond excellent. Everyone at Augustin Egelsee treated two very stressed out parents with understanding, generosity and respect. We are eternally grateful – Danielle changed the trajectory of our son’s school experience. She went above and beyond to see it all through.”
“We want to thank you for helping our family. Your wiliness to accept two very challenging cases was very courageous. Many professionals have been baffled by our boys’ very unique needs. But you were ready for the challenge! Looking back since we hired you to help us, we’ve seen you and your wonderful staff work tirelessly on obtaining the needed services our boys deserved. What looked impossible for us several years ago has now been accomplished through your expertise, professionalism and diligence.”

“I have talked with many professionals who speak very highly of you and enjoy working with you.”
“None of my sons would have received the services they needed to succeed if Augustin Egelsee hadn’t work so hard to perform a great job on their behalf. They listened to our cries and saw our sons had suffered enough. They did not turn a blind eye but in turn opened the school and the districts eyes. Today I am proud to say our son in spite of everything he went through is an Honor Student 3 years in a row.”

“Thank you for helping our daughter. You are angels from above. We did not have an easy case that’s for sure. The fact that my daughter was getting passing grades and in great College Bound programs, the school did not feel the need for additional support. We were being brushed off for two years. I had taken every step possible, from contacting every teacher, administrative staff and the district. I finally had enough, I was referred to Augustin Egelsee, who came as very highly recommended.”
“You were definitely on it! Knowing it was a difficult case, you accepted the challenge. You worked hard and diligently at advocating for my daughter until getting her what she was entitled to and deserves. I love how you keep in touch, genuinely care, and are passionate and very professional at what you do. Thank you with all our heart! God bless you for helping families like ours. We were so frustrated until you came into our lives. For that I am eternally grateful! A MILLION TIMES THANK YOU!”
“It’s not often a truly special person walks into your life. We met Edwin when Trevor was 5 years old. At the time we had no idea the important role he would play in our lives. We needed the expertise of an attorney to help navigate the complicated world of special education. The first few years Edwin stood beside us despite a very challenging personal situation that was beyond my control. Year after year Edwin attended countless IEP meetings, spent hours on the phone with me, guided us through multiple settlements, and successfully litigated our Due Process Hearing. To say he went above and beyond is an understatement. Over the years Edwin has become a trusted advisor, shoulder to cry on, and friend. I can’t speak highly enough about Edwin’s Integrity, legal expertise and genuine kindness. He is a remarkable person and talented attorney with a deep commitment to serve individuals with disabilities. Thank you, Edwin. You have changed the course of Trevor’s life and helped make Trev’s Trades possible!!! We could not have come this far without you.”
“Our family is extremely blessed to have found the office of Augustin Egelsee LLP. I was in contact with Sylvia Abad who explained the process and stay with our case along side Danielle. They both are extremely kind, understanding, extremely knowledgeable and great advocates for their clients. Danielle, she is an amazing educational lawyer and fought extremely hard to advocate for our family and acquire a favorable settlement on behalf of my child. Danielle, understood, listened and felt our concern and the need for Justice for our child. The whole office staff are so nice. The fact that Sylvia always answer our emails, phone calls or any questions was appreciated. The compassion and positive attitude really helped the process when we felt discouraged. Danielle, you have our respect and admiration for all the hard work you placed in our case. It was exemplary from beginning to end.”
