Courtney Diane Bhatt

In trying to resolve a complex and difficult academic disability issue for our son at a local higher education institution, we were referred to Ms. Bhatt. Courtney was incredibly knowledgeable in this specialized field of law, and helped us negotiate a favorable resolution to the issue. As an attor...ney myself, I was very impressed with Courtney's thoroughness and responsiveness to our many inquiries. She was terrific, and I would strongly recommend her for anyone facing similar issues in higher education.

Courtney represented my grandson and I in a complex special education IDEA 2004 appeal against my grandson's school district for multiple violations of FAPE. She was aggressive but fair, and is very committed to the needs and rights of special education students. She was always seeking the best so...lution for my grandson and went above and beyond in her research and support. Courtney was also extremely supportive of myself. She listened when I was frustrated and represented my rights with the same commitment and diligence she showed my grandson. She helped negotiate a settlement agreement with the District that was fair supported my grandsons special education and mental health needs. She also helped me receive a fair deal that included reimbursement of my costs and partial payment of my legal expenses. Through the entire appeal and lengthy settlement process I came to greatly respect Courtney's legal prowess as well the compassion she shows to her clients. Overtime I began to think of her as a friend in addition to being a great attorney. I would strongly recommend tthat parents and guardians of special education students hire Courtney Bahtt for their legal needs. MDK Law was also super supportive and gave excellent customer service as well as legal advice.
