When allegations of athletic motivation and pre-enrollment contact threatened a student-athlete’s high school basketball career following a multi-student transfer, his family turned to Mark Amador at Wingert Grebing to protect his rights and isolate his unique circumstances from surrounding assumptions.
Client Testimonial
“When allegations that our son’s school transfer was athletically motivated threatened his varsity basketball eligibility, we turned to Mark Amador at Wingert Grebing for help. Our situation was especially difficult because multiple student-athletes had transferred between the same schools—a circumstance that triggers heightened CIF scrutiny and threatened to ruin our son’s chances to play. We wanted to ensure that his transfer was evaluated based on his individual circumstances, not assumptions arising from the decisions of other students.
Mr. Amador helped us navigate the eligibility-review process, evaluate our options, organize the relevant facts, and prepare materials that accurately and comprehensively explained our son’s circumstances. The team at Wingert Grebing provided knowledgeable and strategic guidance throughout the process, including advice on communicating with school officials and responding to concerns about athletic motivation. Most importantly, they helped us keep the focus on the facts unique to our son and protect his interests during an uncertain and stressful time for our family.
We ultimately received the favorable ruling we had hoped for: our son would be eligible to play varsity basketball this season! Achieving that result despite the complications created by the multiple-transfer situation gave our family tremendous relief and allowed our son to focus on school and get ready to compete. We are truly grateful for the firm’s knowledge, responsiveness, and strategic representation, and overwhelmingly recommend the firm to other families facing student-athlete transfer and eligibility issues.”
