A Note on Attorney Fees and Fee-Shifting

Cost should not stop a family from fighting for their child. IDEA's fee-shifting provision may allow a prevailing parent to recover attorney's fees from the school district. Mr. Voigt offers competitive hourly rates and in select cases may agree to a fee cap. Ask about fee arrangements during the free case analysis.
