Excellant Attorney

I was so upset. I couldn't believe I got charged with a domestic violence offense. I didn't understand why I got charged. I even went to jail. I called Janet and she explained everything to me then she got the case dismissed. I love her.

excellent, knowledgeable, insightful, compassionate

Ms. Altschuler helped my son with his criminal defense case. Throughout this process, Ms. Altschuler was readily available and helpful. Ms. Altschuler demonstrated exceptional legal knowledge, and she was caring and compassionate. She helped my son receive the very best sentence possible. I learned a... lot from her, and our family will always be grateful to her for her skills and abilities and for the way she goes above and beyond. Ms. Altschuler is everything an attorney should be. I highly recommend this attorney.

JB in Tucson

I've spoken to Janet over the phone on two matters for family members. She was the only attorney I spoke to who told me that I might not need an attorney and to wait until we had more information. She told me how to ask for diversion agreements and police reports. I read Marine Dave's review and he i...s way off.

Janet really is the best!

Janet was amazing through the whole process from billing, to the steps up to my court date and my final trial. She even answered my initial phone call on a weekend on her personal phone at home! I've never been to court before let alone be accused of breaking any law (besides traffic) and she put my ...constant worrying to rest. Any question I had she answered, allowed me to continue worrying about my daily life rather than the "what ifs" of my future court date, especially since my job relies on not having any kinda of discrepancies on my record. Not only did she help me get the case dismissed but made sure it was dismissed with prejudice so this issue can never come up again. Thank you so much Janet. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing an attorney.

SMART, PROFESSIONAL AND SENSITIVE

Janet Altschul was a bright window to a healthy future at the time life seemed to crumble to darkness and despair. She never promised the impossible, not even the best of all outcomes, but her serene attitude and her sensitivity towards my personal fears and embarrassment gave me strength I didn't be...lieve I'll ever regain. This happened during my first telephone call, which she, herself answered. I'm in the very beginning of my case and had my meeting with her today, just a day after my shy phone call. The meeting went beyond my expectation. She answered every one of my question, which I had written down in case stress would kick in and would paralyze my memory. Keep in mind that whether guilty or not, it is extremely stressful to be faced with any kind of criminal charges. And a caring person that shows an assertive attitude and thorough knowledge of her skill can restitute your faith in yourself and therefore in your future. And that's bottom line what you needin order to face whatever it is you have to face.
