Family legal representation

I was impressed by the quickness and rapidity at which Ian Keefe (attorney) and Altman and Altman was able to respond to our urgent request for representation. They jumped on the issue, provided a clear plan of action, and then began following through on that plan in a matter of hours, clearly commun...icating what we could expect. Ian demonstrated significant depth for the issue and showed experience in the matter, leading to the best outcome.

Interviewed 20 Lawyers --- Ian is the best decision you can make

Attorney Ian Keefe is quite simply the best lawyer available in the Boston area for driver's license issues, traffic court, and clerk magistrate hearings. Ian was able to get my case dismissed in one appearance in just minutes. Just as important, he instilled confidence and peace of mind leadin...g up to hearing. I interviewed about 20 lawyers for my case it was clear that no one was better qualified or could take better care of me than Ian. I give Ian my highest recommendation.

Went out of his way

Ian deserves more than the five stars. I hired him to help me with a restraining order. He wrote down every detail of my story and cared about every detail. He answered calls quickly and reassured the extreme anxiety I had. It was his attention to detail and real empathy that won my second attempt at... an RO. He has since followed through with the state to make sure I am treated fairly in the criminal case against my abuser. He didn't have to do that. Excellent lawyer and such a nice person. You will not be sorry!

Very Satisfied

I have nothing but positive things to say about this firm. I have never needed a lawyer before however, something came up very quickly that required me to seek legal counsel in a very short amount of time. Ian, called me with in a few hours of contacting Altman & Altman and was at the courthouse with... me two days after. Ian was prompt and ready to hit the floor running. My case was settled with the up most satisfaction and I couldn’t of have asked for anyone else. I tend to be a tough critic, with that said… I am pleased to have worked with Ian and his firm… I am extremely satisfied. Not one question went unanswered and Ian did more than go above and beyond with my case. Highly recommend and I appreciate all that Ian and his firm has done for me.
