Traffic Ticket

I called several attorneys for help with my speeding ticket. They all told me there was nothing that could be done because I already had points on my license. Mr Altman immediately recognized a strategy to resolve my ticket and presented it to me. It was a little more work on his part but he was will...ing to do what others wouldn't. I think there are a lot of attorneys who only want to handle things when it's straight forward and easy. Mr Altman's approach is simply to resolve your situation to the best out come and when called for he will get creative in order to make that happen. I will bring all my legal needs to him from now on. I'll never have to wonder if my attorney is working hard and doing everything possible behind the scenes. This guy is on it and he has earned my business.

Quick, easy and thorough

Took care of my issue quick and easy. Didn't even have to go to his office or court. I would highly recommend Kevin Altman.

Extremely disgusted!

I hired Mr. Altman to execute 3 QDRO/DROs following my divorce in W-S. The first red flag was when he did not provide a written agreement for my $1500 payment to do the associated legal work. I then obtained model language from QDRO administrators, filled them in based on my property settlement agree...ment, and provided them to Mr. Altman. After much prodding and missing the due date, Mr. Altman simply cut and pasted my work on to court forms without assuring they met NC laws and submitted them to QDRO administrators. Subsequently, he required $2500 additional to submit them to the W-S court. Turns out he took the job with no experience with QDROs whatsoever, made a mess of it, and I had to hire another attorney in W-S to redo and resubmit Mr. Altman's shoddy work to QDRO Administrators in order to get them executed with the court. My total cost incurred with the second attorney (experienced with QDROs) was a fair $580 for the completed work that included a written agreement for work and fees up front. I generously requested that Mr. Altman refund just $1000, but he has refused to acknowledge me after repeated attempts to communicate. His unprofessional and incompetent behavior caused delays that cost me dearly and, as a consequence, I strongly advise others to be more than wary if you consider Mr. Altman for your legal work.

Great lawyer. Highly recommended!

I contacted Kevin on a late Friday afternoon. He responded back to me that Monday morning and I had all documents faxed to him Tuesday morning. He then represented me on court that Thursday of the same week! Kevin was professional, fast, and gave me options. I'm so glad I contacted him and had him ha...ndle my speeding ticket. I highly recommend him!

Great Legal Assistance, Even Remotely!

I received a speeding ticket in North Carolina while traveling home to Atlanta, Georgia from visiting a friend. If I hadn't received legal assistance from a lawyer locally accessible to the court I would have had to pay for travel and at least a day of missed work on top of the ticket/court fees. I... received a recommendation to hire Kevin Altman as my attorney to represent me on my court date. I was very pleased with how quickly and professionally Kevin was able to handle my case. We were in direct contact by phone, email, and fax. I was kept well-informed of my options as well as the results of the court appearance. Above all, Kevin was a pleasure to work with handling my case very professionally and I appreciate his ability to help ease my own tension and worries about the matter. In the end I was able to save time and money while receiving great legal assistance.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Want a Lawyer who will stay up late researching creative ways to defend your case? How about using an inconspicuous aspect of the law rarely used to convince a Jury to find you not guilty? Kevin is that kind of lawyer who keeps digging, keeps fighting and eventually beats the prosecution down in producing remarkable results for his clients."
