Thank you for your kind words. I also want to apologize for the heartless response you recieved in this thread. Potter and Handy is a disability law firm in California. They take cases in any state. They flew an attorney in to me when it was necessary. My specific attorney was Peggy Ferrel and she is a mom who has a 7yr old boy. I was not charged anything up front for their services. A settlement was reached and they took a portion to cover cost and fees. You can tell the "Bruce" sent you, he is my service dog. I would hold off on getting a dog at this time. A trainer or program may have a specific breed or type of dog they prefer. They may want to build behavior into a dog starting as early as eight weeks or even earlier. I know of a trainer Remedy Service Dogs, Calib Anderson in CA who could train you a dog. Before you think that sounds impossible think about fund raising with go fund me to cover all the expenses including a stay in CA to transfer the dog to your son. A settlement from a lawsuit against the school for failing to accommodate your son would also cover those experiences. So be open to all possibilities. If on your journey you have further questions you think I can help with just ask me.
