504 Plan - Frederick County Public Schools

My daughter attends Frederick County Public Schools and has had a 504 plan for a qualifying disability for 7 years. Recently, FCPS attempted to remove her from the plan. Jaime was incredible to work with throughout this process. She answered all of our questions, prepared us for our meeting with the ...FCPS Chief Legal Counsel, and fought for what my daughter deserved. I would highly recommend Jaime to anyone dealing with 504 or IEP issues.

Simply the Best!

Jaime is an amazing attorney. She is very thorough in her filings and her negotiations with the other side. I always felt comfortable talking with her. I had a very favorable outcome and could not be more pleased. I was treated well and I definitely recommend her as an attorney in a tough case. T...hank You Jaime!

Jaime Seaton

I recently worked with Jaime on my son’s special educational concerns with the school system. Jaime was very knowledgeable and professional. She worked with me in great detail and I achieved the positive desired results from the school system. I highly recommend!

Wish I hired her sooner!

I retained Jaime for representation in defense against a child support modification motion. She was smart, strategic, a good negotiator and quick to master the nuances of a complex situation with multiple prior documents executed while I was repesented by a different firm. I really appreciated Jaim...e's work and feel she would have provided great representation from the outset had I met her sooner.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
