[QUOTE="klmno, post: 145526, member: 3699"] Thanks, Ladies! The attny got back with me and said he capped his fee at a little lower rate (for DP) and re-couped the rest if compensatory (sp) damages were awarded. I'm wondering what kind of amount we could get, if any. Also, by the time I added on reimbursable expenses and costs for experts, it probably would be in the range that I was originally told. The state has a 1-year time limit for complaints, does due process or court have that same time limit? Worse things happened in 2006, and early 2007, that I feel sure I could win on AND it would also show a pattern or at least that the sd consistently does what they want without regard to the law. I really don't like the thought of having to go thru this, but whatever chance my son has is being undermined by the sd's approach to things, time and time again. Someone on a different thread said it sounded like this situation was "toxic" to my son- that word sticks in my mind and rings so true. Martie, I don't doubt at all that board members fare better with sd issues, of any sort. The Ed. Spec. told me that I was much more "knowledgable and involved and informed" than other parents they deal with. Maybe she was just trying to blow me some smoke (you know the term I'm avoiding here) but I do think it coould be true- their manipulation and efforts to avoid compliance probably have worked with many others- they worked with me until I found this board. And when she told me that, I was standing there thinking to myself, "I can't take all the credit, this has been a collective knowledge base and a team effort" because I truly felt the strength and power of the board behind me! How can I feel any hope that the sd would comply with mediation any more than the IEP that is already in place? [/QUOTE]
