Chris Elyse Vance

We hired Chris to represent our child. She proved to be honest and thorough. She made going through Due Process very easy. I was becoming a little stressed until we met her. She was a game changer!!!! As a parent and educator of a precious special needs child, I HIGHLY reccomend her. I'm surpris...ed that the previous person has negative comments. I'm even more surprised that they waited 5 years to post. Thanks to Chris my child has an appropriate educational program. Our special needs kids deserve an appropriate education too!!! She and her husband will always have a special place in our hearts.

Chris is one of the best attorney's I have ever met. She really cares about her clients (kids). My son was told by his school he would never make it in life. I retained Chris at the end of his 9th grade year. I kept her on retainer until he graduated. She attended all his IEP meetings. Handled ...all the harassment he received from the school. It was so bad my son asked me to home school him. But after I hired Chris school became manageable for him. She gave us hope. My son is now a junior in college working on a criminal justice degree. Chris is awesome.

Chris worked on my son's case for over a year to advocate for an appropriate education for him. While it did seem like an eternity, that is the nature of dealing with public school education. There are alot of hoops to jump through and you have to give the schools a chance to rectify the situation. ...Chris settled my son's case in July 2010 and he is now making great progress in a private school placement.
