My mission to serve and advocate for children began in 1996 when my husband and I adopted our twin girls from Romania.  I experienced great difficulty getting the girls the early intervention services they needed.  And, after successfully acquiring those services, we still faced the challenge of getting them the free and appropriate public education to which they were entitled.. I understand the challenges that children face in school and the challenges their parents face ensuring that their children receive the education they deserve.  The special education learning curve is steep and the time it takes to acquire the knowledge to advocate for them may mean days, weeks or months delay in getting a child the educational services they need.. Let me help you.  I know how.

Practice Areas: Education

Melissa (Meira) Amster has dedicated her law career to special education and disability law. She seeks to help parents attain maximum potential through advocacy.Her passion in this area of law comes from personal experience. In October 2011, her daughter was born with Down syndrome and a heart defect which required open heart surgery. At first she found the process of attending to her daughter’s medical and physical needs overwhelming, but soon found online support groups. These support gave her valuable information and encouragement to advocate for her daughter.Over the years her advocacy skills increased, as well as her passion for helping others. Ms. Amster found a wide discrepancy in services that children might receive correlated to how good of an advocate or how knowledgeable about services their parent was. The better the advocate, more services the child might receive. Ms. Amster strongly believes that all people with disabilities, not just ones that have better advocates, should receive all needed available services.With this passion in-hand, she began volunteering with the Office of Clients’ Rights Advocacy, Disability Rights California. She was later a temporary Clients’ Right Advocate. There she focused on evaluating regional center eligibility, securing appropriate placements, and analyzing and giving legal advice regarding notices of action from the regional center.Ms. Amster is very thankful for her advocacy skills and all she has accomplished on behalf of her daughter. Realizing her own daughter is not the only person with a disability who is in need of advocacy, the Amster Law Firm was formed to advocate on the behalf others with disabilities.

Sam has the unique experience of being both a school district attorney and an advocate for children and their parents. Originally, Sam learned to be a school district attorney from a pioneer of special education law. Shortly thereafter, his calling was to serve a less fortunate population, so Sam focused his practice on the special education needs of foster care children.. Sam built one of the largest non-profit special education practices in Southern California. While serving in this capacity, he provided a multitude of direct services to a diverse population. Additionally, Sam had the privilege of teaching people how to successfully navigate special education law--everyone from grandparents, with little or no formal education, to judges and partners of prestigious law firms.. Bringing his unique skills to private practice, Sam is a firm believer in demystifying the complexities of special education law for parents, so you can become an active participant in your child's advocacy. Nobody knows your child better than you.. In 1999, Sam suffered a college football injury that almost took his life and left him permanently physically disabled. His positive outlook during this time surprisingly garnered the attention of national media and organizations, leading to several distinguished awards. Ultimately, Sam's injury served as the catalyst for joining his passion for social justice with the desire to assist disabled children.
