Mr. Altman was very helpful!

Mr. Altman was very knowledgeable and helped make the different appeal processes smooth. He walked me through questions that would be asked and made sure I was comfortable. I am very grateful that he helped me and highly recommend him.

Ghosted me for months and no attorney ever reached out to school on my behalf

Did a terrible job at making my case and did not put any effort into making contact with the school. Never spoke to an attorney after the initial consultation meeting. Had three or four different attorneys throughout the course of my case. There was a point when I spent four weeks trying to get in co...ntact with someone at the office. Left several messages with no call back. Didn’t have any positive movement in my case and will likely have to hire another attorney.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We take client concerns seriously and we’re sorry to hear you feel disappointed with the outcome. Because confidentiality obligations apply, even when a review is posted publicly, we cannot address the underlying facts of any individual matter in a public forum. That said, we can clarify a few general points about how our services work. Our engagement in matters like this is typically a flat-fee, non-litigation advocacy scope, which focuses on investigation, strategy, written advocacy, and communications with the institution and/or its counsel. It does not include filing a lawsuit or appearing in court unless a separate litigation engagement is executed. Additionally, outcomes and timelines are influenced by third parties (such as a school or its legal counsel) and cannot be guaranteed.

High Cost, Limited Engagement, and Disappointing Outcome

We paid $11,000, and we do not feel the service justified the cost. We only met with Mr. K. Altman twice. During the first call, he presented himself as having computer science expertise, but the way the discussion went made us feel as though the allegations were being accepted rather than strongly c...hallenged. Communication was also very slow. It took months to send one follow-up letter requesting a legal counsel/academic counsel meeting. In many emails, the case resolution manager simply stated that she could not advise, and the responses we received felt generic. Unfortunately, we lost our case very badly, and we do not feel we received the level of support, strategy, or advocacy we expected. My husband had already received an email from the law office asking for a review, so I am sharing our honest experience. Based on what we went through, we believe the negative reviews are accurate.

Misrepresentation

I want to warn others: do not pay upfront. I paid $13,000 based on a meeting with the attorneys and the scope of work they outlined during that call. After I paid, the scope changed, and the contract reflecting the reduced scope was created days later and was not signed by Keith Altman until more tha...n two weeks after he took the money.No meaningful services were provided before or after payment, and because the entire $13,000 was taken upfront before a signed contract existed, it has been extremely difficult—if not impossible—to dispute or recover the money.Please learn from my experience: never pay a large fee upfront without a signed contract and a fixed scope of work in writing.

We respectfully dispute this review and the statements made in it. Our professional obligations prevent us from publicly discussing client matters or revealing confidential information in order to respond point-by-point. Those obligations apply even when public comments are inaccurate or incomplete. We therefore cannot address the substance of the representation here.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
