I don’t know about you, but the thought of hiring a lawyer for any dispute makes me go into a near panic.  Right away I start to think about just how much it is going to cost? This is especially true for parents like us who have a child with Special Needs. Is it worth the cost to hire an attorney to advocate for better or additional services for your child? Would it simply be better to take those costs and use them for services or therapies out of pocket?

I talk with Richard Isaacs, an attorney at California Special Needs Law Group. He points out that there are different methods for covering attorney’s fees, and depending on your situation and case, it may not be as expensive as you might think.

Program Note:  Richard and I work together at CSNLG.
