Working with Rick Boothby was a relief during a challenging situation with my local school district. As a parent, I was concerned about my child’s special education needs, and Rick’s deep expertise in education law provided the clarity and guidance we needed. He thoroughly understood the nuances of K-12 policies and was able to negotiate a fair resolution for our family. His training and representation for school districts clearly informed his approach, making him a trusted advisor. The only minor downside was his occasional delay in responding to emails, though I completely understand his busy schedule. Overall, Rick’s professionalism and dedication to education law made a significant difference in our case. Highly recommend his services to anyone navigating school-related legal matters.
