[quote=Anonymous]We used Lisa Fagan who is an advocate who also advertises she is an attorney. Technically, if I recall correctly she is trained as maybe a tax attorney and got familiar with SN law to advocate for her own kids.

She was fine the first time and we were frustrated enough with one professional I didn't mind her being harsh. The second time she seemed to follow her own agenda and was rude to professionals we liked. She also prolonged the process more when we were already ready to agree, costing us more money.

I also didn't like how both times she would come back and tell me the PSL says that the teachers say X (gossip) about you. First off, I kept communications polite and professional and in writing and she saw that and she agreed we did nothing wrong. Really all the gossip part did was attempt to create drama and it made me see both her and the PSL as less professional. It's none of my business what they say about me behind my back, what matters is getting my kids needs met. Stick to the IEP and my child's needs.[/quote]
