Saved my career

I was wrongly accused of cheating at a previous university. The professor was adamant about their accusations and made it their last move to accuse me before retiring from a long career. As a result, his word carried significant weight and I was told I'd lose because of the preponderance of the evide...nce. This would cause me to fail the class and would draw questions from every employer in my industry going forward. With the help of Keith, Tim, and the rest of the team, they were able to advise me on what to say during calls with the university and how to frame my defense over the course of the entire case, which was almost 18 months in length. We were able to bring the sanction down to a warning with no external impact, and I recently received an offer from my dream company, likely aided by the teams support. They are timely, professional, extremely knowledgeable, and I would recommend them to anyone looking to fight any academic accusations.

Title IX Victory

I hired Keith Altman to represent me in a title IX case where I was accused of many ‘non-consensual’ things sexually by a someone in my university and I was scared for my life for months. I had a previous case which wasn’t as serious as this one but it was on my student conduct record. I wasn’t confi...dent that I would be able to prove my innocence given the complication of this case which forced me to not be able to give a statement until the criminal case was adjudicated and so I can protect myself in that matter. Although I wanted to tell my story and prove my innocence with the evidence I had, Keith and his team were adamant that I stay quiet and let them do their job best. When it came down to the hearing, Keith put on a master show and exposed all of the accuser’s inconsistencies and destroyed her credibility without me having to jeopardize my criminal case and talk during this hearing or submit myself to cross-examination. This was a very long and daunting process and A big learning lesson for me, but I am eternally grateful that I can move forward with my life and I owe it all to Keith Altman. If you or someone you know are EVER in a similar situation, I assure you Keith will be worth your time and will give anyone who is against you hell to make sure you get your desired outcome!

Title 9

This law firm was amazing in helping my family! What was a disaster was handled in the most professional way. They helped put my families nerves at ease the whole process. My child's best interest was put first. The response time was amazing with getting back to me. I hope to not need a attorney in t...he future, but if I do I would definitely call Attorney Keith Altman.

Scammers

I paid this lawyer $11,000 and he did nothing but take my money. I was in my last Semester at Roane State Nursing, and the Disability Dept. The Asst. Dean and Instructor worked hand in hand to prevent me from graduating. I gave proof to support my claim, and he agreed to take the case, long story sh...ort, I paid $350 for a consultation, and another $11,000 and all they did was tell me what the school dtated they were not willing to do. I never received an opportunity to meet wth the legal team and the college to discuss my case. Altman sent me emails through the portal stating they did not get a response from the college on several occasions, Then I received a letter stating they were closing my case. It seems as if they take large sums of money from their clients ad deliver nothing. I have over $80,000 in student debt, and for a firm to take advantage of vulnerable people is devastating. Do not waste your money and time with this law firm they will scam you and give nothing in return!
