I assume, then, that you also home school. I'm not trying to be a jerk here, I really do not understand why a group defending those who homeschool would be the first call you'd make if you were accused of child abuse.
Seems other lawyers might have greater expertise.
Yes, we do. I have a daughter sitting next to me waiting patiently for me to help her with her study of ancient Rome.

That is because a great many lawyers are not familiar with the true legal requirements for home schooling nor the usual (and often duplicitous) tactics employed by districts to get the kids. HSLDA specializes in that body of law. They offer what is effectively an insurance policy. We pay $125 per two years. If we ever have a problem, the attorney is free.
It is a membership organization and part of the member benefits is legal council regarding family law.
Maybe they called the homeschool defense group because homeschoolers are often targeted by so-called Child Protective Services??? So they have much experience with the problem?
I don't get what you don't get.
