Durwood Kevin Altman

He helped me with a child custody case and did absolutely nothing!!! He didn’t mention any of my concerns in court he didn’t have anything planned or a good arguing case he really just took my money and treated my case poorly & carelessly I’m so hurt I paid him $2500 same day no delay and he did noth...ing to help me at all!!!

Look I get it people make mistakes at first I thought I hired the right attorney for the job, boy was I wrong! I read all his reviews an was like man hes good! My court case was this am 06/18/2018 at 10 am I waited 945 i contacted him asking where he was with no reply, 1040 rolls around still no atto...rney contacted again with no reply then my name was called and I had to represent myself. After court he calls an says "sorry man I fcked up" now wont refund the $500 dollar retainer fee even though he did not do the job that he was paid to perform. I get it good reviews but take it from someone who just had 500 stolen by this man goto one of the other 1000 lawyers in winston!

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.
