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.

As a person living out of state, I needed a local attorney who would be helpful and responsive. She was quick to get back to me, answered ALL my questions, and told me what to expect as we moved through the trial. She also offered to help with post-trial filings (two years later) and was successful ...in lowering my DUI felony to a misdemeanor. I'm grateful for her representation.

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.

Janet Altschuler is the right attorney for the job. Janet tells you like it is. She does give you a line of bull to get you as her client. Janet excepted me as a client on a D.V. arrest charge. When it csme time to go to trial she performed like a seasoned pro who knew her way around the court room. ...Janet was well prepared for trial. She exposed the acusers for what they were, liars trying to protect there own selves. Janet did her job well and all charges were dropped. Good job Janet!!!!
