Keith L Altman

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.

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.

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!

Do not hire this "Lawyer", or his firm; I made that mistake and I will share the experience. I contacted Joseph Lento and he brought Keith Altman in during the initial consult April 2021, all three of us on conference call. I explained my severe issue with a university pharmacy school administration... involved in mass cheating cover-ups followed by retaliation against me for not condoning the cover-up. The retaliation included multiple years of accusations, manipulations, and persecution to force me to quit, fail, or be removed; including falsifying my transcripts and IRS 1099's. I formally hired the duo, signed the contract and payed each lawyer $5000.00 November 2021; Keith became the main contact and litigating lawyer for the lawsuit. The lawsuit was for abuse of power, force the correction of my transcripts/ files, pain and suffering for 8 years of hell of a 4-year program. Keith said "don't worry, we got your back". Keith Altman expressed to me his ability to practice in the Northern district of Texas where the school is located. I knew the school to be dishonest, but they would not roll over; this was going to be a fight. 22 months later, this lawyer rolled over. I supplied a deposition, hundreds of emails, official documents, audio files, and video files to Keith Altman during consultation with interns beginning Jan 2022.We provided a demand letter; Keith Altman reviewed, signed, and sent to the school June 2022. July 2022 school response was to refuse correcting transcripts but informed the transcripts were sent to the National Board a year earlier, unbeknownst to me. Keith instructed to begin the formal complaint/ grievance. Communication at this point became mostly unsuccessful. Keith failed to disclose the lawsuit filed against him by Joseph Lento whom accused Keith of stealing clients and not paying him; discovered while investigating Keith Altman law due to lack of communication. April 2023, I learned Keith was unable to practice in the Northern district of Texas and was trying get licensed to practice or find a local attorney for help with the case. June 2023, Keith asked if the formal grievance/ complaint was ready, the intern and I answered in agreement; Keith responded this to be his marching orders to begin the official lawsuit. I was unable to get updates for the next 2 months. September 2023, Keith contacted the National Board without consulting me first. He accepted their response without question, decided the case was over, quit without filing the formal grievance, and refunded his portion of the fee ($5000) received November 2023. On the conference call, Keith told me he agreed with what I was standing for and I was correct, but just give in to the school, get licensed and then ask the school to correct the transcripts. When questioned, Keith said to just file the formal grievance myself if I wanted to continue the case, he provided the grievance with a short letter saying I experienced a "hard time in college" giving the exact same false information as the school concerning the transcripts. I believe Keith was paid off by the school to quit the case. A person cannot agree with fraud to get licensed and then go back and question the fraudulent records. I consulted another attorney and was informed the statutes of limitations expired, (November 2023) and possible legal malpractice by Keith Altman. I contacted the National Board and asked detailed verification questions. The board wanted to go over my transcripts, I gave the same details, documentation, and emails provided to Keith Altman. The board followed up by deleting the transcripts based upon the discrepancies the school hid. If Keith provided the detailed documentation with questions to the board, they would have provided proof of dishonest manipulation/ activity by the school. The school ruined my education and killed my future career; Keith Altman hammered the final nail in the coffin. Why did this lawyer not do his job, was he paid?

Waste of time and ten thousand dollars. These people don't do a thing and hardly get anything done if anything at all. They are unresponsive and do the bare minimum for your case. On top of that, they are forgetful and have a hard time understanding your issue. So many broken promises from this firm.... Before acquiring their assistance, I was already on the right track with my appeal process and doing everything I needed to report my school. Keith promised reliable assistance in the appeal process and a "big brother" look out so the school faculty would not hassle me so easily, and if all failed, we would talk about the next steps into litigation (if it was necessary). They never actually wrote an appeal. They just literally repeated all my previous appeals and then put them into their own words that was abysmally wrote up. I had to change so much it was obvious Robert, my "rep" had no idea what was going on with my case. In total, I think he wrote three emails to my school that were all magnificently rejected. In the end, my school rejected all attempts for my "representitves" to reach out and talk. Keith Altman's law firm pretty much told me what I already knew from the beginning and gave up with their tails between their legs. The school said no, and Altman Law politely agreed with them and made no attempts to fight the school. I NEVER once spoke with a layer for the whole time I was using their assistance. I made countless calls and emails to Keith requesting assistance and a new representative and I never spoke with him after my first 300$ consultation. These people are scams! Please take your money elsewhere and do your research! I was desperate and wasted my money and pride with these "people".
