Our school district denied an IEP when it was clearly needed and warranted. I did not know where to turn for help because I thought that the school district had the last word on eligibility for an IEP and I did not know there was such a thing as an Education Attorney. I spoke to a professional who... works with kids with disabilities and mentioned my problem with the school district and she gave me Diane Wiscarson's name. What a relief! Diane gathered all the needed documentation and within days the school district agreed that an IEP was indeed the appropriate education plan! During the process of working with Diane, I discovered that she actually was more knowledgeable about the education rules and requirements than the school's IEP team including the school psychologist who initially denied eligibility for an IEP. Nobody at the school seemed to care, but when I spoke to Diane, it was obvious that she cared.

Although I have never hired any another attorney, Diane is the complete opposite of all the money grabbing, ambulance chasing, in-it-just-for-themselves lawyer stereotypes. She's compassionate, honest, fair and extremely knowledgeable. If you do not actually need a lawyer, Diane is the first to te...ll you; yet if you do, she's straight forward about what you can expect and what she can actually accomplish. If there is a way she can save you money, she is on it. She truly is a gem; there really is no reason to look any further.
