How to Use SchoolMatch Services

Attorney Alisse C. Camazine of Love, Lacks & Paule, a professional corporation in St. Louis, had a case involving a proposed relocation of two minor children from a prestigious suburban St. Louis public school system to one in a relatively rural area of the Rocky Mountains. Camazine was concerned regarding the possibility of the children moving from a quality school district to a district of inferior quality. Camazine recently said:

"The SchoolMatch program was able to provide us with important information regarding two school districts, including the record of the two schools in question regarding preparing youngsters for college, course offerings, student performance on scholarship examinations, teacher preparation, and instructional expenditures per pupil. A review of the data provided us with the necessary information to prepare an effective defense."

It's easy to make use of our data and expert witness consultants. Simply call our offices at 904-230-3001 and ask to speak with someone in School Research and Litigation Support. You will need to provide the consultant with the names of the school systems or private schools you would like us to research for you, and you will need to provide us with details about the case you are handling so that we may assign the appropriate expert to work with you. Our consultant will arrange for an interview with the expert, and will discuss fees, based on the time needed for research, depositions, court appearances, travel time, and whatever other services you require.

Most courts will not accept our data unless we present it into evidence. Attorneys have told us it is important that we present the data ourselves, explain and interpret the information and stand for cross examination. We will assist you in arranging a suitable time for depositions, as needed.

When time and travel expenses are a concern, it is sometimes possible to depose witnesses by telephone or fax. The advantages of this type of testimony in saving time and money are considerable. Depositions given over the telephone and by fax machine have been used effectively by our attorney clients, and many have appreciated the ease of this kind of testimony. SchoolMatch experts are available for every possibility.
