Lawless lawyers

I would rather be sent to Guantanimo bay, then have to deal with Ms Altschuler again. She doesn't have any social skills or manners. Janet was raised with incredible privilege. I'm not sure what went wrong with her in "finishing" school, but something didn't stick. I had no idea why she was so ...hostile until I googled her. Google Janet Altschuler, along with murder and restraining orders. She was a prosecuter that was fired for her part in withholding information, on a MURDER case. Yet, here she is, practicing law lol. Unbelievable. That explains why she is in the bottom rung of law. She is clearly a prosecuter, disguised as a public defender. If you are assigned with Ms Altschuler as your public defender, you are better off to go to the nearest brick wall and repeatedly slam your forehead into it. This will prepare you to better deal with Janet. She won't know what's going on with your case. She won't know your name. All she repeatedly says is, "what's your question "? It's like having a Chatty Cathy doll, that only knows one phrase. Condolences if you are stuck with her.

Thank you

If you are on this page then most likely it's too late to advise you that stay out of trouble. I hired Janet after consulting with several attorneys. I felt she was very honest and straightforward, which turn to be true. She never tried to play my fear. She understood my case very well and advised m...e the right thing. A combination of her good work and a bit of luck my case ended with a much better result than we both were expecting. The only negative I would say about her is that she once in a while loses her temper, but who doesn't.

Honest and informative..

I am having legal issues regarding my son, Janet was open and honest. She didn't ask me for money, but rather advised on what I needed to do to save our family from having to hire an attorney. I will always appreciate the time that she spent advising on what needed to occur without me having to go t...o her office. . Thank you so much Janet. In dark times like this it's amazing to find some light!

The right attorney for the job

Janet Altschuler is the epitome of a great defense attorney. She was professional, courteous, knowledgeable and always there for me as her client. Any questions I had were answered by her promptly and she always made time to meet me face-to-face to discuss any and all questions and concerns I had. I ...picked Janet Altschuler because of the reviews I read about her and how great she was for those who retained her as a defense lawyer and I must say, those reviews were correct. She helped put my mind at ease, gave me sound advice, and was able to get my case dismissed. This whole legal experience was a nightmare with the exception of Janet Altshculer and the results she got me. I highly recommend her for those who are looking for a great defense attorney.

Fighter!!!!

Janet is a true professional. She handled my case and I am very happy with the results. She fought hard in a motion hearing and was able to get the result I wanted.
