Quickest way to lose $10,000

Mr. Altman and co., during our consultation felt so genuine and ready as if he had a call to action. He had made large statements such as how likely we were to turn around my situation and that it was a done deal. He also commented repeatedly how likely we’d be able to have the school pay for my atto...rney fees and the like. No promise was made, but being that I was in a time of crisis I feel and felt preyed on. I felt disregarded throughout the entire process, out of the loop on everything, and I was led to believe things that were not factual, such as an agreement supposedly between Mr. Altman and my school’s counsel which would allow me to make up the semester I lost time-wise. I was told my suspension could get overturned with ease—then it began to take weeks to hear anything back from Mr. Altman and co. This is where my concerns began to grow. I’d send email after email waiting to hear back, and scheduling a phone conversation was near impossible without at least a single reschedule on their end. I was told in an email that there was a conversation between Mr. Altman and my school’s counsel that there should be no issue in a class overload, and that Mr. Altman and my school’s counsel had worked together previously/had a good relationship. I was also told by my school’s administration that somebody associated with Mr. Altman (not entirely sure who) simply agreed with my school’s counsel that I was at fault after I had been told otherwise by them. They failed me at every single step of my crisis and over a year later I’ve yet to see even a minuscule positive result. I feel betrayed, lied to, and would never in good conscious recommend this group to even my worst enemy. $10,000 for roughly 6 or so meetings between Mr. Altman and my school’s counsel (as far as I’m aware)—appalling.

What you fail to explain in your review is that you were found responsible for engaging in violent conduct and sanctioned accordingly. I engaged with your school’s attorney repeatedly, trying to get your sanctions reduced, but, given your conduct, they were unwilling to make any significant concessions. Furthermore, during our interactions with council, you made allegations that you could not substantiate. These allegations led the school to consider additional sanctions, which I was able to avoid by negotiating on your behalf. Near the end of our engagement in your case, you asked that we request that the school allow you to overload and complete so you could complete your degree on your original timeline. Unfortunately, the school felt that this would basically eliminate the consequences for your behavior (suspension) and they were unwilling to make that concession. Despite your assertions, my firm put forth significant efforts in your case. I’m sorry that we were unable to bring you the results you were looking for, but actions have consequences. We wish you the best of luck in your future.

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.
