Keith L Altman

I hired Altman law firm because my son was assaulted in school by a teacher. They didn't think we had enough evidence and ended up dropping the case but not before they made sure my son was safe and in an environment where it wouldn't happen again. Tanner Brook's is a God Sent. The firm didn't charge... me a dime. They actually cared about my son. That's rare these days. Tanner was there with me from the beginning to the end. I'll forever be grateful. :-)

Tanner Brooks was very helpful throughout the entire process. He was very available for me, answering phone calls and emails promptly. There were even a couple instances when I needed advice that was more time-sensitive, and Tanner still picked up when I called and provided that advice and reassuranc...e. During the interview, Tanner listened to my side of the story and also my concerns. He helped draft the appeal letter promptly and it was written very well. I was concerned about paying the invoice upfront, especially since it was a bit expensive for me, but I am glad I did because I had full confidence throughout the process that they would get the job done.

I retained K Altman Law to represent my daughter in a complex student discipline matter involving a charter school. Before the representation began, I paid a $300 consultation fee followed by a fixed legal fee of $13,000, expecting experienced representation that would help correct her school record ...and pursue meaningful relief. Over the course of the representation, my case was reassigned 3 times to another attorney. As a client, I felt I had to repeatedly bring new attorneys up to speed, and I never felt that one attorney had complete ownership of my case from beginning to end. That lack of continuity made it difficult to feel confident that every attorney fully understood the history and complexities of the matter. During the representation, one attorney told me they believed there was sufficient evidence to sue the school. They explained how such a lawsuit could proceed and even discussed the potential damages that might be sought. About two weeks later, after very little communication, I was informed that litigation was no longer being pursued. When I asked why the firm's position had changed so dramatically, I did not receive an explanation that I found satisfactory. The firm participated in hearings, appeals, and communications with the school. However, after nearly two years of representation, none of the primary objectives for which I retained the firm were ultimately achieved. My daughter's disciplinary record remains unresolved, the school was not held accountable, and the firm declined my request for any refund or fee adjustment. I understand that attorneys cannot guarantee results. However, after investing $13,300 in this representation, I expected greater continuity, clearer communication about major strategic decisions, and a more meaningful outcome. Parents facing a school disciplinary matter should carefully discuss who will be handling their case throughout the representation, how major strategic decisions will be made, and what they can realistically expect before making a significant financial commitment.

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!
