[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve yet to meet a parent that got what they needed without a lawyer. [/quote]

I’m one of the posters who said don’t bother.  And how many do you know who didn’t get what they wanted with a lawyer? It’s unfortunate but all of us know so many who have spent a fortune on lawyers for different reasons, especially after 2020 and trying to get compensation or placement or services.   We all did the best we could but in the meantime, our kids got older.  I’m one who didn’t and just quickly pulled my kid when things got bad.  I’m fortunate that I found an alternative that worked and could afford to supplement and spend money on that instead.

Do what is right for your child.  You will be the best advocate and always trust your gut. [/quote]

A good lawyer will advise you on what your child should be getting from the school system, and help you with the cost benefit analysis of fighting for it - or not.
