Before meeting Dan Perlman, I'd worked with a few other attorneys on special education issues, but none came close to the expertise and dedication Dan showed. Discovering Dan and Perlman Legal was a turning point for us. He's not just another lawyer; he's someone who truly understands the needs of kids and their education. Dan’s approach is hands-on, thoughtful, and he's remarkably skilled at bringing in the right experts at the right time. The difference he made in our child's educational journey was clear and profound. For any parent struggling in the maze of special education, Dan is the ally you need. I'm incredibly thankful for finding him and for the positive changes he brought to our situation.

Daniel Perlman is simply the very best special education attorney and legal expert anyone could hope to have when navigating the complexity of the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. He not only completely understands the Code of Massachusetts Regulations (CMR) governing public school special education legislation and policy, he is also a master strategist who is well respected by local and State legislators. Smart, hardworking, and dedicated to serving others, he literally helped save our child and our family from emotional ruin and instill a sense of hope for the future we had all but lost. Working by, with, and through school administrators and legal representatives at multiple-levels, Attorney Perlman was able to negotiate a settlement that was just, fair, and equitable and that put the best interests of the child first. Thank you Attorney Perlman for your selfless service and commitment to excellence. Very respectfully and with gratitude forever, J and J Marvin, Brookline, MA

Five years ago, I asked Mr. Perlman represented my son during the most difficult time for my son and my family. My son’s in school district program just was not good fit for his needs. Mr. Perlman is very professional, clearly stated his strategy on the matter and what were expected from the parents. As the results of his guidance, superb judgement and strong legal representation, the outcome could not have been any better. My son was placed in the best residential program for his need and condition. He was very happy in the new school and was able to develop many new vocational skills in the new educational environment. I strongly recommend Mr. Perlman for your legal needs in special education matter.

Michelle Moor literally saved my daughter from dying inside and being forced into the public school system when she has ASD and could not cope in the environment. The district wanted my daughters to fail and kept putting more IEP goals in - all of which were not appropriate. Even when my daughter failed they still rejected the out of district request due to the $. Michelle worked with us to get this changed immediately and our daughter is now thriving at a therapeutic day school. We are beyond grateful for everything she did!

Dan was incredible to work with. Professional, knowledgeable and compassionate. Three years ago our family was struggling with some big issues and the future of our (then) 14-year-old daughter was at stake. Dan guided us through an adversarial special education process and I can honestly say he helped save my daughter's life. Any family trying to navigate the special education system alone is at a marked disadvantage; having Dan on our side helped us level the playing field and get fair resolution of our conflict. Our daughter is now a high school senior with multiple college acceptances; she simply wouldn't be where she is today without Dan's help. The special education system is heavily weighted toward the needs of school systems, not individual children. If you think you may need a special education attorney, you probably do. And there is none better than Dan.
