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.

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!

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.
