[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's the big deal with Eig? He loses 90% of the time.[/quote]

How do you know that?[/quote]

All decisions in Md are public record. [/quote]

That’s completely misleading. Due process HEARINGS are public record. Those are only cases that go all the way to a hearing - they don’t reflect settlements or cases where the attorney gets what the family wants without proceeding all the way to Due Process, which is the end of the line. Those are the ones MCPS feels they can win. If you look on the MSDE website, there are only 1-3 Due Process hearings per year. Of those, yes, MCPS prevails on most of them because the burden of proof rests with the parents. Eig has won his fair share. I’m an attorney and I’ve won all of the cases I’ve had in my 20+ year career except 2. It’s not because I’m an amazing attorney, it’s the nature of the area of practice I am in, the odds of losing are very very low, and when I have a risky case, I settle it.[/quote]

Fellow attorney here who would love to know which area of the law has very very low odds of losing. Sounds dreamy. [/quote]
