She is Hell On Wheels

Wow! Talk about a Pit Bull, when it comes to educational rights, she knows the law. This lawyer doesn't take any sass from the Superintendent of Schools, Directors, or their lawyers. She is a baracuda when it comes to your child's right to a free appropriate public education. If you're fed up wi...th school administrators screwing with your AD/HD or autistic kid's right to be schooled in the same environment as atypical children, even if that includes supportive services to do so, call Kathryn. I almost didn't hire her. She was rude and hateful to me and really made me mad. But she ended up taking our case at a minimally, ridiculously affordable, flat rate charge, and I want to tell you, I saved every letter she wrote to the County Superintendent of Schools officers on mine and my child's behalf. They had been screwing with my kid's education and were trying to use the SARB board to remove my child from my care to prevent giving my child services on his IEP. Illegal!! By the time she got finished kicking county butt, none of them could sit for the rest of the year! I only thought she was rude and mean to me.. Those letters dripped with legal venom, and I relished every minute. This is the kind of atty that not only secures your child's rights, she also kicks butt and takes names. If you can get past her rude mean spirited manner, please do so! She'll intensify those emotions when she deals with the county lawyers and probably teach them a few things in the process. 5 Stars!
