With the guidance and diligence of Ellyn Polishook-Ulfsson, we were able to convert an essentially empty IEP into one full of services our Son not only needs, but deserves. Ellyn's knowledge, expertise, and compassion, are second to none and surely contributed to her ability to exceed our expectations when it mattered most (ie. CSE Meeting.) Highly Recommended!

Ellyn has been advising me in my case against the Public School System in my town as well as with custody related matters in my divorce. She is not only very effective, experienced and knowledgeable, but also extremely sensitive to my personal situation. With her I feel that the situation is under control and I also feel very supported. I highly recommend Ellyn.

Ms. Polishook-Ulfsson was referred to me by a very close family friend during a time of extreme emotional distress and life upheaval. I never would of thought that she would become anything more than an advocate for me and my daughter. In the end, though, Ms. Polishook-Ulfsson became my instructor, my confidant, and my own personal barracuda. Her experience in the DOE process is thorough and precise. She was tenacious when it came to tracking down the people or information that was needed. She was relentless when researching the appropriate placement for my child. She gave me the information I needed so I could understand how the review and placement process worked so I could be my own best advocate. She was fearless as an advocate for my child and cared deeply that my child was placed in the most appropriate school. She went so far as to visit schools with me and my daughter to help evaluate the suitability of the schools. Her decades of experience and professional expertise ensured my daughter is in the best possible school, and I could not be more grateful for the confidence she instilled in me that my daughter would be taken care of.

Ellyn helped us get an appropriate out-of-district school placement for our 6 year old son with autism. She is smart, aggressive, thorough, and knowledgeable about the law. She worked tirelessly to help us get reports, statements, and everything we needed in a short timeframe; even working evenings and weekends. I appreciated that she educated us throughout the process and I feel better prepared to advocate for my son in the future. This is our second experience with a special education attorney and it made such a difference - I really felt Ellyn cared and put her heart into helping us. We would never have gotten these results without her. I can recommend her wholeheartedly!!

I used Ellyn to help resolve a rental eviction dispute. She was professional, knowledgeable and timely with all advice and guidance. She's very detailed-oriented and does good research on the minutiae of the legal issue at hand. She was able to provide a favorable resolution without formal court proceedings. I would recommend her without reservation for any legal matter within her areas of expertise.
