I was found not guilty.

Janet Altschuler was my lawyer in a DV assault and disorderly conduct case. She told me not to just take the plea. We had a trial and she really fought for me. I was found NOT GUILTY.

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.

My case got dismissed!!

Janet was recommended to me by a friend. Thank God. I was able to speak to her and I didn't feel ashamed. I did do some wrong but Janet said " ... the State's got to prove it ..." She was right. Case dismissed.

Janet is an awesome lawyer

I had serious felony charges. I spoke to almost every lawyer in town. I hired Janet because it felt like she wasn't beating around the bush. I'm glad I did. She worked hard and the charges were dismissed.
