Important — read before submitting
- This intake is not a court filing.
- Submitting does not make you a petitioner or plaintiff.
- Submitting does not create an attorney-client relationship.
- Submitting does not stop or preserve any legal deadline. The general Article 78 limitations period is four months from the agency's final decision, and may be shorter — please consult counsel about your specific dates.
- Your intake stays private within the authorized legal review team unless you separately consent. Court filings, if any, are generally public; a child's name should be reduced to initials, but a parent's name may become public if they are a petitioner or sign a filed statement.
7. Disability access (optional)
Do not upload IEPs, medical records, diagnosis reports, SSNs, or other highly sensitive child documents. Counsel may later provide a secure upload link if needed.
