Attorney for Special ED/IEP issues with DCPS

[Anonymous]

I think some of this really relies on your own personal case. Have a great case almost any attorney can win it and get what you want. Have a weak case and won’t agree to anything reasonable - you are going to dislike your attorney. The key part here is you are going to have to listen to what they tell you to do even if you want to go to nonpublic immediately (as an example). They know the process and how to maneuver your case to get you the best they can.

Definitely shop around! I'm the PP who met with Eig and Glassman but chose Shefter. I felt very confident in her after our first meeting and I didn't get the same vibes from the other two. She came highly recommended from a friend who is an SN case manager at a DCPS because she was her least favorite attorney to see in a meeting. Choose the attorney who has an approach and demeanor that you trust, because the process will involve a lot of you doing what they tell you to do and stepping back while they do the talking. You have to trust them to lead you. I'm happy with my choice. We're fortunate to have options, honestly.

Shefter is a crook. She only markets well. As a teacher for Mcps she is not respected by the county or their attorneys.

Why do you think she is a crook?
