We hired her after explaining in detail what was going on with our son as we wanted to be fully up front and what we intended to accomplish and we wanted to know "her plan" to decide if she understood and supported fully our son's position. As we have used reputable attorneys in the past, we had a... fairly good idea of what the process should look like to address discrimination and IEP violations. She stated in the initial call and in a second call that she move to due process if she could not get the school to follow his IEP as we had a "strong" case but $7500 later, not even an IEP meeting has been set up and our son seems to be in no better position than the day we hired her. When we asked her when she would be filing the due process as discussed, she resigned and stated she would "discount" some fees she charged and return some of our money. She didn't return many emails timely and even seemed to forget what she was supposed to be working on - but would bill us for reminding her, or course, when we would call her to ask her "the plan" as we were very concerned she wasn't diligently working on our case. When we asked her to talk about the bill in writing several times (for an obvious lack of any meaningful progress) and that we found items questionable on the bill, she did not respond. She would tell us how busy she was all the time on another case and ask us to 'remind her again' where we were at on our case (and then bill us for reminding her of course). For $7500 you would at least think she would have gone to ONE IEP meeting or filed a due process, right? We would definitely not recommend her. .
