Did not show up for court

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!

Excellent lawyer.

This was my first accident and wasn't my fault. I had no clue what to do . He talked to the insurance adjusters for me and gave me the time I needed to heal. Almost a year later, when it came time to settle the claim Mr. Altman was wonderful. He explained everything and worked to get me the best sett...lement he could and we got it. He went out of his way and I am grateful. Grateful for his honesty and integrity. I would recommend Mr. Altman to my friends.

If u want someone who will fight for u kevin is that guy.

I was charged with a dwi 2 years ago. So for the past 2 years kevin as showed up and used every opportunity possible to help me with my case. To truly explain how hard kevin fights for his clients and his dedication. I have to exsplain that on the day of my trail. His father had to have emergency hea...rt surgery.Even though i knew he needed to be at the hospital he said we had the best chance to win with the judge who was there. He said if he had to walk out due to being upset he would be back. He fought my case for a hour and a half with true heart and soul. As if he was a friend standing talking for me. The fact that he was going through what he was going through but showed up for me. Tells the story of what an amazingly dedicated person he is. He showed he wasn't just my lawyer. He was someone who care about me as a person and the outcome of my situation. That's the kind of person anyone should have representing them. It is rare to find a person, let alone a lawyer that will sacrifice something they're going through for you. However he did for me and i know he would for u. I would trust kevin with any case at anytime. Thank u kevin for everything. I hope ur dad is doing well.

Will Hire again!

Navigating a local justice department can be difficult and humbling. Kevin Altman guided my case through with his knowledge of the law and familiarity with the local judicial system. The site rules say don't be too specific so I'll just say this. "Kevin was awesome in front of the judge". He new when... to present the case to the judge and exactly what to say. My outcome was the best I could have expected. I will hire Kevin again for any legal needs.

He is smart, advocates strongly for his client's position, is knowledgeable of the law, and is professional in every way. If I were needing a lawyer in the Winston-Salem area, I would definitely speak with Mr. Altman. He comes with my highest recommendation."

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."
