[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For what?  If it is a campus discipline issue, I could recommend someone.[/quote]

Yes. Northern Virginia.  Thanks.[/quote]

Justin Dillon.  The firm is Kaiser Dillon.

He is a former AUSA and does a lot of college discipline cases.  I am not sure if he has done HS work, but I would think a lot of the issues are the same.  I am not positive if he is licensed in VA, but he has college cases from around the country, so that shouldn't be an issue.[/quote]

Have you used this firm?  I happen to know Justin requires at least a $15,000. (FIFTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS) retainer.  I would think if a parent could afford that, the child would be in a private school, and these kind of problems (being unjustly accused) would be fewer and farther between. [This is not to say there are not problems in private school, I happen to know there are, but the school would think twice about unjustly accusing a student.].

Beware, parents in need.  There are pirates at every corner.

Any other recommendations?[/quote]

I have not used him, but I know him and others at his firm in a professional context.

A $15,000 retainer (which unused portions would be returned) doesn't strike me as crazy.  I am sure his rates are significantly lower than Biglaw, but I wouldn't expect him to be cheap.  Only OP can decide if that is reasonable and affordable.

The rest of your comments are nonsensical.  Plenty of public school parents around here could easily substantial legal fees.  And being wrongly accused can just as easily happen in a private school; it may even be more likely since there are fewer due process protections and administrations have greater flexibility to play favorites, for example to a family that is a big donor.

Finally, calling someone a pirate because he charges for his services is ridiculous, even if you feel his services are too expensive.[/quote]
