[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We paid $35,000 over 18 months and got no change in placement and nothing positive for our child.  Lovely lawyer, but no impact.

I wish we had put that toward private school.  Big regrets. [/quote]

Wow. That is a crazy amount of money [/quote]

Can you share who you used? That is insane and really that person should be embarrassed to have taken all that money if nothing changed.[/quote]

If at some point it became obvious it was a losing case, the lawyer should have said so. But lawyers are paid for time and effort, not results. And we don't know if the PP was pushing to keep going.[/quote]

Let’s be realistic here. If y out ever get into the situation where you are spending a lot of money, your chances of success are minimal. The schools almost always win. So right out of the gate, you already know that there’s a high probability that you will be throwing good money away. [/quote]

This is not necessarily true at all. To be sure, there are proceedings that are stacked against parents, but that doesn't mean parents cannot get good results using an attorney. Sometimes it can be expensive, depending on how much time is involved. [/quote]
