Pros
1
Dedicated and compassionate representation, with attorneys who genuinely care about clients and their well-being
“What Lara Hruska did for my daughter and myself cannot be put into words, it's felt with the heart. She was my sounding board when I needed guidance in navigating our situation. And she really wholeheartedly cares.”
2
Expertise and proficiency in education law, with a deep understanding of IEPs, 504 plans, and navigating the education system
“Lara's unique experience as a special education teacher and education law attorney along with her compassion helped our family navigate through a complex situation that resulted in my child being in a more suitable placement where he is happy and thriving.”
3
Effective advocacy and aggressive representation in cases against school districts, leading to positive outcomes for clients
“I am a HUGE fan of Chris Williams and Cedar Law. When Edmonds School District directed another parent to file a Protection Order against my ten-year-old (!!) black son without so much as hearing my son's side of the story, Chris & Alex held our hands through the court proceeding where we won handily.”
4
Responsiveness, communication, and transparency in handling client cases
“Cedar Law PLLC, staff, Chris Williams, and each team member are extraordinary professionals. They respond quickly and their approach is kind, professional, and knowledgeable.”
5
Successful track record in resolving complex legal matters and achieving favorable outcomes for clients
“Mike and Alex from Cedar law saved me from having hundreds of thousands of $ invested in my doctoral degree with no possibility of a future job to pay for it.”
Cons
1
Concerns about potential bias or discrimination in the initial consultation process, with some clients reporting that they were dismissed or discouraged based on their background or perceived ability to pay
“Chris recently spoke on the phone with my wife during a free phone consultation session. Chris made hurtful comments to her such as 'sounds like you can't afford me' and 'maybe they just don't like you' - referring to the School District people.”
2
Inconsistent quality of service, with some clients reporting a lack of responsiveness or commitment from the attorneys after initial engagement
“Contacting Lara was the worst mistake ever. ... Long story short she attended to one IEP meeting with me and Lara sent her secretary to the second EIP meeting. Her secretary didn't represent me well and now we have an EIP that doesn't include my son's needs.”
