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...

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...

STAY AWAY.
Rating: 0 out of 5 stars Review Title: Took My Money and Vanished I hired this lawyer for help with an appeal and paid $11,000. Aside from writing the appeal, they did nothing I was aware of. Communication completely stopped after I paid. No returned calls or emails — total silence until I termin...
We are sorry to hear that this reviewer feels dissatisfied with their experience and appreciate the opportunity to clarify the services provided. The reviewer retained K Altman Law for an expedited academic dismissal appeal with a 24‑hour deadline. During this critical timeframe, our team: Conducted a detailed consultation and reviewed the case and supporting materials; Researched the school’s academic integrity and appeal policies to confirm the proper procedure; Drafted and finalized a comprehensive appeal letter, which was submitted to meet the school’s deadline; and Provided instructions for submission, FERPA compliance, and outlined next steps, including preparation of a petition to stay dismissal and potential direct advocacy with the school’s General Counsel. These services were provided in accordance with the Student Defense Fee Agreement, which specifies that the flat fee is earned upon receipt and not contingent upon outcome. While we regret that the reviewer was disappointed with aspects of communication and that the initial appeal did not succeed, substantial professional services were rendered on an expedited basis, and the fee was fully earned. We are willing to help if the reviewer wishes to proceed to the next stage of the process. We sincerely wish them the best as they move forward. — K Altman Law

Do Not Hire for Any reason!!
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...
We take all client concerns seriously and appreciate the opportunity to provide clarity regarding this matter. While we are unable to discuss specific client details due to confidentiality, we would like to address the misleading and inaccurate statements presented in this review. Our firm was retained to investigate and address the client’s concerns regarding alleged falsified transcripts. After conducting thorough due diligence—including multiple communications with the university’s general counsel and independent verification with the relevant licensing board—it became clear that the allegations were unfounded. The client was informed that nothing was preventing them from proceeding with their professional licensing and that there was no valid legal claim to pursue. Attorneys have an ethical obligation not to pursue baseless litigation, and once it was determined that the proposed lawsuit lacked merit, our firm appropriately declined to file. Despite significant time and effort spent on the client’s behalf, we returned the unused funds in full. It is also important to note that at no point did our firm accept any payment from the opposing party, nor did any external matters—such as unrelated litigation between other attorneys—have any impact on the handling of this case. Furthermore, the client had previously retained another law firm, which reached the same conclusion we did, yet that detail was conveniently omitted from this review. We understand that legal matters can be frustrating, particularly when the outcome is not what a client had hoped for. However, our firm remains committed to ethical legal representation and ensuring that any claims pursued are legally sound. We encourage potential clients to rely on factual information when making decisions about legal representation.
