Great Special Ed. Attorney!

The best thing I did for my son's education was hire Allison. She is very knowledgeable and always knows what to cover at annual IEP meetings. We have been using her for over four years now. She's worth every penny she charges!

This lady is a fraud.

This lady charged me over 1,900$ and went to one IEP meeting. On top of that the IEP was a zoom she’s owes me really all my money back but she says I have 735$ left and I haven’t received it yet by mail. It’s been going on a week.if I don’t get my money back I’m calling the state bar.smh

I'm sorry that you failed to understand the concept of an hourly rate, which is a very common and acceptable way for private attorneys to bill for their services. It was discussed with you on the phone, as well as reflected in the retainer agreement that you signed. And in fact, the amount of time I put into your case far exceeded the fees that I charged and rightfully earned. I only regret that you did not allow me to complete what I started, which I offered to do once I became aware that you misunderstood the fee agreement, offered at a fraction of the rate you had agreed upon. As far as returning your balance on retainer, unfortunately, I have no control over the US mail. It has been less than 5 days since it was likely picked up from the mailbox -- I'm sure it will arrive before long. Best of luck to you and your child!

She is collaborative and supportive and available for phone consult any time I need it

Our son’s private tutor regularly attends IEP meetings for students with Language Based Learning differences, and indicated that she had never attended a meeting as collaborative and positive in tone as our meeting led by Allison Vrolijk. We struggled for many years to get an IEP for my son until we... hired Allison. I keep her on retainer because I never want to attend another meeting without her knowledge and support. She is always willing to phone conference with me, and strives to avoid unnecessary meetings to avoid charging me when she can advise me of what to do over the phone.

Excellent Education Advocate

My child's middle school tried to block my child's access to a 504 Plan even after we had a comprehensive Psycho-Educational exam and report showing he was profoundly ADHD and only needed simple accommodations. Thanks to Ms. Vroliijk's knowledge of the law, my child's rights, and the education issues..., the school granted the 504 and knowing we had an attorney, the 504 Plan is implemented and improvements have been suggested. Allison met with my husband, my child and me, then secured a retainer, met with us again, attended the 504 meeting at the school, reviewed the plan and had many phone and email conversations with us. At the end of the process, we were refunded unused retainer promptly. A year later, even without a retainer, Allison has answered simple questions before our annual 504 Plan review. I highly recommend Allison Vroliijk!

Great lawyer

She has been very helpful with her advice for special need children and their rights. She has been kind enough to respond to questions on facebook with out charging anyone and always giving sound advice .
