Larissa B. Johnson, Esq. founded AdLauream, LLC in January 2017 with the goal of helping children in Connecticut achieve their greatest potential in Special Education. She knows the importance of having an education advocate on your side to help you plan and prepare strategies and negotiate for your child.  These same strategies can be used to help with school disciplinary matters, including suspensions and expulsions, as well as bullying and cyberbullying in schools in Connecticut.  

Attorney Johnson graduated from the University of Connecticut School of Law in 2008, where she participated in a clinic in mediation with placement at the Family Division in New Haven Superior Court. Attorney Johnson founded her own real estate law firm, which she ran from 2009 to 2014. She then worked for her local Board of Education for five years, where she developed a passion for the educational needs of children. In 2017, she joined the Justice Legal Center Incubator Program at the Center for Family Justice in Bridgeport, Connecticut where she launched AdLauream, LLC.  Attorney Johnson earned a certificate in Special Education Advocacy from the Institute for Special Education Advocacy at William and Mary Law School in 2017 and is a member of the Council of Parent Attorneys and Advocates.

Attorney Johnson is dedicated to advocating for children and helping parents and schools implement the services and supports for each child's unique needs so that they can pursue further education, careers, and live independent lives.
