Excellent Experience

I could not thank Tanner Brooks enough for helping me with a dispute at my University. I wouldn't have been able to continue with my nursing program without his hard work and dedication. During the three months of working with Tanner, the process was seamless. Although my situation was not good, he m...ade it bearable. I felt Tanner was just as determined as I was to win my case; he put his total effort into it and never failed to impress me. Another comment I must make is on his writing! Tanner rewrote many of my appeals and grievances to make them into a stronger and more professional argument. I was always blown away while reading them because his writing skills are truly an art! Nothing was more satisfying than sending those letters to my Dean/Vice President. Hiring Tanner would be the best decision you make while dealing with an unpleasant situation in your academic career. I 1000% recommend!

Great Help

Tanner Brooks was very helpful throughout the entire process. He was very available for me, answering phone calls and emails promptly. There were even a couple instances when I needed advice that was more time-sensitive, and Tanner still picked up when I called and provided that advice and reassuranc...e. During the interview, Tanner listened to my side of the story and also my concerns. He helped draft the appeal letter promptly and it was written very well. I was concerned about paying the invoice upfront, especially since it was a bit expensive for me, but I am glad I did because I had full confidence throughout the process that they would get the job done.

STAY AWAY.

Rating: 0 out of 5 stars Review Title: Took My Money and Vanished I hired this lawyer for help with an appeal and paid $11,000. Aside from writing the appeal, they did nothing I was aware of. Communication completely stopped after I paid. No returned calls or emails — total silence until I termin...ated the agreement. They claimed they did other work, but never communicated that to me or provided any proof. They’re refusing a refund and using the signed contract to justify it. I feel completely scammed. Be very careful before hiring this attorney. Money does not match service rendered. They need to be reported to the bar association or disciplinary board. Life is already too hard for people to use their power to take from people that actually need help.

We are sorry to hear that this reviewer feels dissatisfied with their experience and appreciate the opportunity to clarify the services provided. The reviewer retained K Altman Law for an expedited academic dismissal appeal with a 24‑hour deadline. During this critical timeframe, our team: Conducted a detailed consultation and reviewed the case and supporting materials; Researched the school’s academic integrity and appeal policies to confirm the proper procedure; Drafted and finalized a comprehensive appeal letter, which was submitted to meet the school’s deadline; and Provided instructions for submission, FERPA compliance, and outlined next steps, including preparation of a petition to stay dismissal and potential direct advocacy with the school’s General Counsel. These services were provided in accordance with the Student Defense Fee Agreement, which specifies that the flat fee is earned upon receipt and not contingent upon outcome. While we regret that the reviewer was disappointed with aspects of communication and that the initial appeal did not succeed, substantial professional services were rendered on an expedited basis, and the fee was fully earned. We are willing to help if the reviewer wishes to proceed to the next stage of the process. We sincerely wish them the best as they move forward. — K Altman Law
