Keith L Altman

It should be a CRIME that they even state they want to represent the laws and claim to help protect children, mental health, etc! I want my time and breath back after how worthless a phone call was with their Attorney, Salomon Radner. He wanted nothing to do with the cases of the Public Schools al...lowing my child to be bullied so badly that he was suicidal at just 7 and, again, at 9 years old; nor how the school refuse to follow the laws of I.D.E.A. to care for my other child, who is Autistic, and was illegally restrained, secluded, restrained again while being in seclusion of a room illegally too small with 2 adult males in the room.

The legal team here was extremely nice and empathetic towards my problems. Long story short, I was kicked out of Nursing school right before graduation due to discrimination and I wanted to fight to graduate, but the law office here told me that I just need to go somewhere else and graduate. I feel l...ike I just lost 300 dollars to be told to just go somewhere else and graduate. To make matters worse, the people who arranged the meeting were confident I had a good case and really got my hopes up, assuring me that this attorney would really fight for me. The attorney also said they would review the evidence and get back with me and never did. I'm borderline on feeling like I was just scammed.

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.
