[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hiring an advocate has been such a huge help to us. It’s hard to feel like a full member of the “team” when you don’t know every policy and option. I also think having a third party in the room helps both sides watch their words - know it isn’t a financial option for everyone but if you can make it work it’s been a game changer. Both school and central office staff said and did some outrageous things in meetings before we had an advocate. [/quote] What is the approx cost of an advocate? An advocate and a lawyer are different right?[/quote] My advocate was $150 an hour. Someone posted a few weeks ago that a lawyer they used had a several thousand dollar retainer. [/quote]
