    Tom Terrill at LLF National Law Firm stepped in at the last minute during my client’s academic investigation and gave us the confident guidance we needed. He developed a clear student discipline defense plan, stayed in touch late into the evening, and walked us through every step of the university process. His expertise made a real difference in securing a fair and positive outcome.

    I’m so thankful for Tom Terrill and Lento Law Group. Tom guided me through an unfair academic hearing where I had almost no support from my school—and we won. He was thorough, professional, and incredibly prepared. His attention to detail and compassion made the process manageable and gave me real confidence. If you’re a student facing an academic integrity or disciplinary case, Tom and the team at Lento Law are the people you want in your corner. They truly fight for fairness and student rights.

    I reached out to Tom Terrill at Lento Law for guidance regarding my son’s academic issue at his college, and I could not be more grateful for his help. From the very beginning, Tom was extremely knowledgeable, professional,kind, and patient, taking the time to fully understand my son’s situation and explain every step of the process. His deep understanding of college academic policies, appeal procedures, and student rights made a world of difference. Tom provided clear, actionable advice that gave us confidence and peace of mind during a very stressful time. I highly recommend him to any parent or student looking for expert help with academic appeals, misconduct cases, or school-related challenges.

    I worked with Tom Terrill during an incredibly stressful situation with my medical school. From the beginning, Tom was always available, took my concerns seriously, reviewed everything in detail, and helped me navigate a grade appeal process that felt stacked against me. He exceeded my expectations as he would consistently respond after hours, on weekends, and would speak with me over the phone to answer any and all questions or concerns within 24 hours. I am so thankful for all of his help and highly recommend him and Lento law to anyone being treated unfairly in school!
