[quote=Anonymous]Be aware that in Maryland parents lose ~90% of the time. And even if parents win, MCPS often refuses to pay attorney fees, meaning that you have to hire ANOTHER lawyer to sue MCPS for attorney fees! Contingency fees work in personal injury cases where the lawyer has a reasonable expectation of a damage award-and gets a percentage of that award as his/her fee. I have never heard of a lawyer taking a special Ed case expecting payment only if the family prevails. You might have better luck trying to get a law student in an education law clinic, if there is such a thing in MD somewhere. [/quote]
