Thank you

I worked with Janet, on a specific case. Janet, was beyond professional and resolved the issue. Not to be specific but Janet also worked with additional professionals to handle something that she did not even have to worry about. I would encourage anybody in Tucson to acquire her services if not g...uilty. I wish I could say more about her, but I will repeat total professional, always there to take a call. Always! Listens, and then acts. Thank you so much!

poor lawyer

She is rude and did nothing to help my fiancé she is what you call a starving lawyer. She cant get any cases but court appointed she is not a good lawyer at all. She just sits there like she don't know what to do. She has a personal relationship with the prosecutor and she doesn't defend worth crap. ...I would advise stay as far away from this joke lawyer as you can. She is a trader.

This comment is not from a client. It is from someone who doesn't know how to spell or use spell checker. No one wins 100% of the time-especially criminal defense lawyers. If someone tells you they won everything-be super careful and watch them. As for rudeness? My job doesn't include cupcakes and unicorns. Sometimes you must be able to say your client's truth in a direct manner. Do you really want Polly Polite as your criminal defense lawyer?

Was looking at prison and Janet got me probation.

I am so thankful we found Janet. She took my brothers case. He's no angel but he was too young to go to prison. He had drugs and a gun. The first lawyer told us the plea was the plea and my brother had to go to prison. Janet didn't promise anything but talked to us (for free) and told us informa...tion the other lawyer had not. We hired her, fingers crossed and she got my brother probation. I am grateful.

Janet really cares for her clients.

I was terrified. I couldn't sleep. I was charged with a domestic violence and needed help. I am no criminal but they treated me like one and I was taken to jail. Ms. Altschuler was right there with me at all court dates. She returned all my calls within an hour and she won my case. I hope I nev...er need her again.

Excellent!!

Ms. Altschuler really knows criminal law. She'll fight for you all the way. But, she can also negotiate and get the best outcome for her clients. She is a fighter but a consummate professional. She is an excellent defense lawyer!
