Karen

From our first phone call, I knew I made the right choice. I hired Lee to represent my son in a compensatory services case against our school district. Due to his hard work and knowledge of the law (IDEA), he was able to effectively negotiate with the district and win a great settlement for my son. H...e was patient and answered all of my questions while explaining the law to me. I have and will continue to recommend Lee to friends, and other parents who need his expertise in special education law!

Excellent Attorney

Lee was a great attorney and represented our family well. He communicated thoroughly step by step as the legal proceedings progressed. He followed through and emailed all correspondence and documentation to us. We were very pleased with the outcome of our case and would hire Mr. Wentz in the future... should we get faced with legal issues again.

Professional and thorough

Using Mr Wentz for the second time because how well he handled my first case. The terms and conditions were clear and specific. His fee structure was clearly outlined. I was regularly updated on the progress of my case and I was also provided with a breakdown of expenses through email. I have and wil...l continue to recommend his practice.

Excellent results

I consulted with Mr. Wentz (Lee) regarding my daughter's special education program. Her IEP simply was not adequate enough for her needs and my fear as she was transitioning to middle school was that the schoolwork would just be too overwhelming and the support dwindling. From the first call, L...ee was professional, knowledgeable and honest about his thoughts on the case. Through every step of the way, Lee was honest in his assessments and gave his best advice as to when he thought the best results had been achieved. He was clear about the strategy and provided all the options available in all the different phases of the case. Lee was also very clear about the fees and costs for every step of the case. His fees were very reasonable. He also promptly returned any unused portion of the fees. Lee's dedication to my daughter's case really reflected his passion for what he does. Because of Lee's work, our daughter's first year in middle school was a real success. I enjoyed a great working relationship with a very responsive IEP team. I would highly recommend Lee. I cannot thank him enough for the results that were achieved for my daughter.
