Got me back into school

I was about to be dismissed and his staff helped me get back into school. Very supportive, staff was responsive.

Thank you for the positive review Lydia, I'm so glad that my staff and I were able to help you get back in school!

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.

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!

Not organized

Scheduled consultation with one attorney at 10:00a, was rescheduled with a different attorney at 3:30p. Was texted 4 times we are running 5 minutes behind consecutively. Called and got refunded for my consultation.

hank you, Travis, for sharing your feedback. I am sorry to hear that your consultation experience did not meet expectations. In our effort to provide excellent service, our attorneys sometimes need to move quickly to address client concerns, and on occasion consultations run longer than anticipated in order to provide the best value, which can impact scheduling. We take feedback seriously and would appreciate the opportunity to learn more. Please contact us directly at [email protected] so we can address your concerns. – The K Altman Law Team

Scammed out of $16,000

I paid K Altman Law $16,000 for an expulsion and Title IX attorney. After taking my payment, communication almost completely stopped. I went six weeks with no updates, no guidance, and no response at all. Then on Aug 19, I finally got an email saying the lawyer I hired, Amelia Lafont, was “no long...er with the firm” and they were still trying to figure out what happened with my case. I was never notified she left. No replacement attorney. No transition. No plan. No work product. To this day, I have not been refunded the $16,000, even though I did not receive the representation I paid for. I’ve now filed a formal complaint with the Michigan Attorney Grievance Commission and am submitting a claim to the Michigan Client Protection Fund. This whole experience has been extremely upsetting and unprofessional, and I don’t want anyone else to go through this.

  • 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.
