What is the name of your state? NC

I received a grade of "F" from an instructor who refused to allow me accommodations as agreed in a Disability Accommodations Plan. I had a B+ average. After pursuing every avenue of complaint within the college, I filed a complaint to the Department of Education.

The DoE representative told me that my complaint was very realistic and serious, that the school hasn't been coorporating as directed, has not turned over certain documents requests two months ago, and that they have hirred an attorney.

I want to know why they think they need an attorney. Is it to defend them against the DoE, or does it have something to do with some power I hold of which I'm not aware? i can't find an attorney to answer this for me, and one told me that no lawyers pursue these cases because the outcome is not profitable.

I will be most grateful for your advice.

The answer to your question is both. You should hire an attorney as well.
