Our Team

After graduating from Brandeis University, Nicole moved back to sunny California to study law at Pepperdine University where she was the recipient of the Dean’s Merit Scholarship. It was there that she developed her passion for special education. She has personally observed the challenges that children with special needs face when inappropriately placed. She has been advocating for parents and students with special needs as a special education attorney since 2003. She is involved with clients at all levels of representation – from IEP preparation and attendance to due process hearings. She is an active member of the Council of Parent Attorneys and Advocates and the California Association of Parent Child Advocacy. She lives in Sherman Oaks with her husband and two sons. She can be reached at Nicole@saritlaw.com

She also oversees many of the administrative tasks for the office.

Michelle lives in Encino with her husband, their son, and two dogs. She can be reached at Michelle@saritlaw.com.
