Navigating PPTs is trying enough. We didn't speak the lingo, we were not familiar with the protocols, we didn't know what we were entitled to -basically, you don't know, what you don't know.
And, this is not a situation where you should be trying to learn as you go.
Dealing with the BOE and their attorneys is intense.
We quickly realized we needed help.
Phil came highly recommended.
Our first consultation with him I was comforted by his professionalism and compassion.
He taught us a lot.
You truly have no idea what is involved in trying to get your child the help they need. And, frankly it behooves you to have legal representation.
I have no doubt we would not have had the same outcome had it not been for Phil.
I am happy to say our child is back on track! She is in college now and doing very well. We are very optimistic about her future.
Thanks Phil!
