Chris Elyse Vance

Chris Vance is an Amazing Educational attorney as well as a true professional. I should know. Chris Vance has been representing us since 2011. When I first contacted her, we had a lengthy phone conversation, free of charge, to discuss the issues we were having with the School District and to det...ermine if hiring an attorney was the appropriate action to take. After our discussion, it was clear we needed an attorney and she believed she could help us. She was AMAZING. Our son was awarded 5 years of compensatory education and services in our IDEA hearing ( 7 day hearing I might add). Chris helped us transition into our 5 year program and took a personal interest in my sons progress and well being. Having a masters in Education gives Chris an additional edge combined with her years of representing students in cases against school districts she gets results. Her knowledge and expertise is invaluable in helping to "fight for services". Chris Vance has a stellar reputation and in my opinion, she can shake the Districts to the core when she agrees to take a case. I have to question the poor reviews... After working with Chris from 2011 until and through today 2019 ( we have a civil case pending) ...It appears there may be some false reviews. When one is as successful at what they do as Chris Vance, Districts and other attorneys are bound to want to damage her stellar reputation.
