...they'll often have a slick greasy lawyer all ready for the fight.
<eyeroll> And don't believe a thing those guys say. They will say things that are patently false if they think it will help their case. If they quote some policy, code, regulation, whatever, your standard reply should be that you need a legal citation and copy of said policy, code, etc.
The cool thing is that if you document all the cr@p they spew out of their mouths it can really help you during due process! I have numerous quotes from administrators proving that our district has repeatedly violated the law
