[QUOTE="Farmwife, post: 374912, member: 8617"] Bringing in their lawyer is a classic intimidation tactic. Don't fall for it. I repeat, do not fall for it! Short story: I used to bartend and two of my town drunks were the local town (for the actual town) attorneys. They were nice guys and all but they weren't particularly bright or skilled, just average licensed paper shufflers who had probably been C students with rich Daddy's. I used to talk law with them and the only advantage they had was easier access to case law. So what... The attorney's presence doesn't make the school more right. They are *hoping* you are the average person who is easily scared by law suits because most people are. (how many people use "I'm gonna sue" as a threat as if it is bad like a boogie man) I say to heck with them. If you are right and have proof I would go in there bold as can be. I would posture like a huge peacock and not back down, that should really scare them. If you are immune to their tactic that will freak them out because they aren't prepared for that. They aren't prepared for parents who know the law and don't take "no" for an answer. Don't believe a single thing the lawyer says. Like another poster said, he is there to represent the school. His version of the law won't be the same as your lawyers if you had or decided to get one. Don't let anything they say scare you, worst case scenario you don't get the iep you want but it's not like you will face fines or jail if you lose right? There is nothing to be afraid of except their continued abuse and inaction. You have every right to defend your son and every right to pursue the matter legally without penalty. Let your inner momma bear out, just mind your manners so they can't use anything against you. RECORD THE MEETING!!! That way no one can deny anything (illegal) they said later on.:winking: There are times you have to err on the side of caution in order to foster a team attitude that helps your child and then there are those other times that you just have to take the gloves off and smack the #%^& out of the school. :angry: [/QUOTE]
