“It has been my pleasure to know and collaborate with Susan Magaziner in our mutual efforts to support students and families. Not all advocates come to this work with the same background and training, and Susan stands out as a Board Certified Education Advocate—a distinction that reflects her dedication and expertise. Her commitment to empowering parents and to ensuring students receive the education they deserve has had a meaningful impact, and I am grateful for the opportunity to work alongside her.”

—Guy Stephens, Founder and Executive Director, Alliance Against Seclusion and Restraint

“Susan was a lifesaver during a very tough time for our family. Her compassion, legal knowledge, and commitment helped us advocate effectively for our autistic daughter when the school system let us down. We’re so thankful we found her".”

“We found Susan during one of the most difficult times in our daughter’s education journey. We were overwhelmed and disheartened by the lack of support and discrimination she was facing in the public school system. From the moment we connected, Susan brought clarity, compassion, and a deep understanding of the law. She helped us navigate a system that had previously failed us and made a real difference in our daughter's life. Her dedication to advocating for children is unmatched. We’re beyond grateful to have found her when we did. “

“From the moment I met Susan, I felt an incredible sense of relief — like someone finally saw us. She truly listens, empathizes, and stands beside you in what can feel like an endless, exhausting battle to secure the support your child deserves in school.”

“Susan is not only deeply knowledgeable — more than any advocate I’ve encountered — but she’s also refreshingly honest and transparent. She tells it like it is, never losing sight of what matters most: your child’s well-being and future. In the chaos and confusion, Susan is the calm anchor who brings clarity and focus back to your child’s needs.

I often wish I had met Susan before my child even started school. Her guidance, insight, and unwavering dedication are unmatched. I am forever grateful to have her in our corner.”

"Navigating a school district can be daunting and overwhelming, especially when emotions, complex policies and regulations, educational jargon, and loads of paperwork are involved. I quickly learned that the district drowned out my voice and best efforts for services and justice.”

“When I reached out for help, a handful of contacts referred me to Susan Magaziner, and that proved to be a blessing beyond measure. As an advocate, she listened with genuine care and concern for my child's well-being, provided thoughtful guidance, and worked diligently on behalf of my family in ways I would not have been able to accomplish on my own. She was a trusted confidant during an incredibly challenging time, and I am so grateful for her expertise and advocacy."

“As an advocate myself who works to promote the education and welfare of the children of New Jersey I commend the dedication and strength of Susan as she leads by transforming cases of individual student advocacy to systems advocacy.”

This serves all of us and the greater good as she does this with commitment, compassion and wisdom in ethical practice.”

“Susan is a charming, polite, helpful and attentive person willing to help who needs her. Whenever I needed her she offered her time, attention, understanding and dedication to resolving and mediating on our daughter’s behalf.

We will always be grateful for her devoted service, professionalism and kindness to our entire family.”

“I can't thank Susan Magaziner enough for everything she did for me and my family. Susan stepped in during some extraordinarily difficult times, listened to us, and helped us address some difficult educational issues with compassion and great understanding.”

Susan is incredibly knowledgeable, a conflict resolver and crisis manager, but what I especially appreciated is that she brings all that knowledge wrapped in a tremendous understanding of what families go through in those situations. She helped us make sense of the most complicated legal and educational issues, and I truly believe that I never once felt we were alone.

In addition to her experience in education, Susan also has experience in the financial sector which sets her apart. Susan takes a strategic and tactical approach to all of her work, and that has been particularly valuable during high-stakes situations including federal and state investigations. I really could never imagine what we would have done without Susan.

If you are looking for a knowledgeable expert in the field, who also really cares about the people she is helping, then you want Susan Magaziner in your corner.
