I strongly suspected there was a falsification my record.
I am a college student. Male. Living in Houston. I am form Vietnam.
I am missing an academy year because I failed a course last semester. However, when I reviewed my final exam, I strongly suspected there was a falsification my record. It's a pretty complex problem. What organization/lawyer should I seek help or counsel? How much does it estimately cost for the service?
Thank you in advance for your advice.

Back up a second: Why do you suspect a 'falsification'? That implies you think someone maliciously altered your grade...
It seems most likely to me, that if there is an error on your academic record, that it's just that 'an error'.
I'd suggest you investigate this without screaming malice and 'falsification' unless you have some very heavy facts to back up those accusations.
It's a VERY different thing to ask the college to provide a breakdown and justification of the grade you received, than it is to accuse a member of the staff of maliciously failing you.
But by all means, express to your Dean or Ombudsperson that you feel your grade was incorrect, and ask them what they next step is for getting an explanation of why you relieved the grade you did.
You don't need an outside lawyer at this point. You simply need to ask the college to investigate the grades you believe are incorrect. Getting a lawyer involved PRIOR to your Ombudsperson could make things more difficult and costly than necessary.
The Ombudsman is an independent office responsible for making sure all members of the university, students and staff, are treated fairly. They are able to give confidential advice and guidance to students to help them resolve any sort of issues or disagreement they might have with a faculty member.
So start there. Only if you can't get support at the college level should you try and get outside support.

Depending on the college that you are attending, they may have what's called an "ombudsman" or "ombudsperson". Figure out if they do and get into contact with this person. They will be able to help you with your situation and figure everything out for free or direct you to someone local that can help you if they feel that you have a case. Make sure that you save EVERYTHING. Good luck!
