HI I was wondering if anyone out there has gone for mediation or an impartial hearing with the NYC DOE. Did you use a Lawyer/advocate?
How long is process?
As well I was told there is a difference between the two.
Just looking for info.
TIA

with schooling it can be pretty fast. 10 day letter, they will respond either go to settlement or if you don't agree it will go to a hearing. I only sued for schooling. not for services so I don't have info about that.

Get an experienced lawyer. Without a doubt, if you need services you need a lawyer.

Don't waste your time trying to do it without at least an advocate. The DOE people can be really sneaky sometimes and if you mess up you may not get another chance.

Do not try to do either one without an advocate or attorney.

The judges are independent contractors and are not employed by DOE
