Even if you "slip in" the word "belief" in your post...The numbskulls in this forum take it for fact and start planning rallies and lawsuits...so please, in the future start out by saying, "I have no idea if this is true, but I've heard....."
Thanks!

That would be an awful small rally. I my world people will bitch if it costs them nothing. Have them put some skin in the game and they shrivel like your scrotum when you jump in the water at Popham beach in May.

Mr. I'm not a lawyer, but I played one on TV,
I think we were roommates. Drop me a note.

I respect that everyone here wants to remain anonymous and I am doing the same.
I do have first hand knowledge of at least two lawsuits, one having to do with getting tuition back after being asked to leave the school. If you are at Bath, I would suggest finding an attorney in a major city in Maine. If you are in Woodstock I would recommend the same. There are lawyers who specialize in fraud which this might fall under. Lars is the only lawyer that has come forward on this board as to his profession. Maybe he can recommend the best way to pursue this. I would stay away from any lawyers in Woodstock or Bath as Hyde has built up relationships in town over the years.
IMHO I don't think you will have a problem getting your tuition back, but it is decision that should be based on costs. Look for someone who is willing to do this on retainer and if you can't find anyone you have to decide if it is worth it.
One other thing. You should be able to find the name of the attorney's who have been involved in previous lawsuits. I don't know how to go about this other than asking an attorney to research it for you. Let me see if I can find something on the internet for you. Sometimes this is hard to do when it involves a non disclosure.

The fact that a lawsuit has been filed against Hyde should be a matter of public record. It shouldn't be hard to find a record of filings in the appropriate courts in Maine and Connecticut. Details of any settlement would probably be confidential, but the not the fact of the lawsuit or the allegations. I agree that you should find a lawyer (litigator) in a practice in Maine or Connecticut that doesn't have any ties to Hyde School.
