[quote=Anonymous]The advice for a free initial consult is good. A lawyer would be able to look at the case and tell how strong of a case you have. You may want to weigh the cost of fighting for an evaluation vs. paying for testing yourself. Lawyers are expensive (could be $400 per hour). How many hours will it take to fight your case? If you win, what would you get? FCPS will do the evaluation? How competent and comprehension will their evaluation be? You might be better off getting a third party evaluation so the testing is comprehensive and competently done. Remember FCPS has a financial motivation NOT to identify your child's needs. At the consultation, the lawyer can see the roadmap and advice you on the steps to take. In my case - I paid for the educational and neuropsyc testing. I went back to the school with the data. They acknowledged the disabilities but denied academic impact. We collected data over multiple classes including concerning emails from multiple teachers. Then we filed a Due Process complaint. Cost me a lot of money, but eventually the end game was achieved of getting the services my child needed. My attorney was Michael Eig. [/quote]
