[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lawyers and advocates have different skill sets but there is a lot of crossover.  Brian Gruber is a good place to start.  Brian knows everybody and how the game is played in Moco and IME/IMO that matters so much.  Having the support of your school also matters a lot.  I've never used WEG but I wouldn't use a firm without knowing the individual you are getting.  It's important to know the landscape when you walk into the meeting.[/quote]

Thank you for your input. Do I also need to hire an advocate in addition to a lawyer?Thanks[/quote]
pp here.  Brian can tell you who he currently recommends/likes working with.  The advocate I used (now retired) brought me to him.  I got an NPP early on and with no fight because the school agreed they did not have the ability to support my kid and because my team knew all the people.  My advocate could tell me in advance what people were going to say in the meeting because she was in meetings with these people all the time.  That's what you want.[/quote]
