As a parent is it our duty to advocate for our children. We do the best we can and sometimes we may need additional assistance to advocate for our child. I was placed in that situation going up against my child's school and the school district. I didn't know who to turn to regarding my matter. From day one when I called the Moore Law Office everyone was respectful and knowledgeable. They were able to obtain Victory in my daughter case against her school and the school district. My daughter was ecstatic her hard work didn't go unnoticed, and she was granted the promotion she deserved! Thanks to Moore Law Firm and their team for assisting me and my daughter with our matter. Great job! My daughter is so elated!
We do not recommend this firm. Initially, we were assigned to Meldie, the owner, and we were eager to work with her due to her phenomenal reviews. We believed she would advocate strongly for our daughter regarding her 504 plan and bullying issue. However, we were quickly reassigned to Jessica Graham without any notice or explanation. Our experiences with Jessica were disappointing. Together, we created a plan that included filing a formal complaint to the Board of Education and seeking reimbursement from the district for therapy costs related to the bullying. Unfortunately, she never truly fought for our child. She did not attempt to negotiate with the district, follow up, or push further when they said no—she simply gave up. Although we initially planned to file a complaint, which she had recommended, towards the end of our engagement, she completely changed her stance and claimed that such an action would only serve as a “cathartic” experience for our child. We spent thousands of dollars and ended up with very little to show for it. This firm did not represent our family like the advocates they claim to be; they are just lawyers.
Not super inspired after our initial consult. Apparently, parents have no other recourse ahead of a SARB meeting than careful documentation. We should be able to know when the school district has discretion to initiate the process. And is it universal (& transparent)? Is it 3 unexcused absences? Not feeling like the attorney encounters these regularly.
Meldie and the team were great to work with. Anyone out there can file false accusations, and when they do you need a good team, that's Moore Law. They worked with us to stand up for ourselves and get the positive outcome we deserved. Meldie was very efficient with her time and I highly recommend them.
Kate Wippel, client care manager. I am really concerned that this woman has access to clients info. I just sent out a cover letter and I forgot to include subject line, she got very hostile. Unbelievable
