Sarah helped my family and I through some very difficult times. We were really struggling to get my autistic son everything he needed and deserved from school. With Sarah’s help, we were able to come to a compromise with the school and I got everything I wanted in his IEP. ever since we’ve worked with you guys, the school and I have turned our relationship 360 and I couldn’t thank you guys enough! I don’t know where we’d be without you guys!

Worth the money! The school did not take me seriously for 5 months. I show up with a special education advocate and my daughter has the services and support she needs. Thank you Sarah!

My daughter was in a very difficult position at a crucial point in her educational journey. The school did not seem interested in trying to understand what happened in my daughter’s situation, and was preparing to move her through a bureaucratic process, checking boxes, sending letters, and moving her out of the school. This would have ended her educational journey in her chosen field. We faced a choice: try to navigate this process on our own, hoping we could use logic and reason with the school during their process, or consult an attorney. After some research, we decided to engage KAltman Law. They were inspiring, confident, and clear from the start. The firm calmly guided us in a very professional but caring way. Looking back now, I see no possible way we could have navigated this on our own. Special thanks to Ashley and to Keith.
I recommend KAltman to anyone having difficulties with their school. My further advice is don’t wait, don’t drag your feet, time is not on your side when you are dealing with the school.

K Altman Law helped our family SO much in getting an IEP set up in our district for my child. Having been at private school, I knew nothing about the whole IEP process (why to do it, when to do it, how to get it done) and our attorney, Sarah Lhotak walked us through all of it and was there to make sure we understood everything (the laws, what was good for my child, what the schools were and weren’t able to provide). She attended meetings with me and was able to give me feedback and guidance in all of my contacts with the school system. The whole process is daunting and I’ve known lots of parents who spend all their time battling with their schools and not getting the accommodations their children need, Sarah made this process straightforward and relatively easy–and gave me the heads’ up about what to expect in every circumstance. Our family may have many, many more hurdles in this whole process as my child grows, but it’s good to know I have someone to call if I need additional help, that I don’t have to get a law degree myself or a crash course in special ed just to help my kiddo get through school, I can just call K Altman Law and let them take the confusion and guesswork out of it for me.

Ultimately, I was able to get the result I wanted which was getting readmitted back into my institution. However, it did not come easy. During my case, there were lapses in communication with my student defense advisor and the law office itself which I found very frustrating. They did help me split the retainer fee into 2 payments which I very much appreciate so there is that. Dealing with universities and colleges is very difficult. Often times, the student has no power in the matter which is why legal aid matters and is helpful. Everyone’s case differs. In my case we were able to succeed. Ashley and Mallory are excellent student defense advisors and if you do end up retaining K Altman services I suggest you go with them

I can’t even put in words how helpful it was having them there to help my son while we went through the issues at school. They are very knowledgeable in this area of expertise. Just having them present for all the meetings gave me peace of mind. Knowing that there is someone else there, on my son’s side, looking out for the best interests of my child and not just trying to do what’s easiest on the school made things alot better. They were very helpful in developing the new IEP accommodations, ect. There’s no question it was money well spent. I would definitely recommend to others that are needing help with this sort of thing.

I cannot recommend Melanie enough for her advocacy work. She worked with us through the IEP process for my son as he was entering a new preschool in a new district. She was knowledgeable, compassionate, efficient, and effective. We are so grateful to her help in support in getting our son exactly what he needed from the district.

I cannot express enough gratitude to The Law Office of Keith Altman, PLLC. After making an unfortunate mistake at school, I was facing possible academic dismissal. I was devastated. After years of hard work, I thought my academic journey had come to an end. I had invested so much into my education, and it felt like everything was slipping away.
Thanks to the incredible team at K Altman Law, I was successfully reinstated, and I’m proud to say I’ve now completed my doctoral program. I want to give a special thank you to Ashley Thibodeaux for her tireless dedication, support, and compassion throughout the entire process. Ashley is an excellent listener and a true professional. Her efforts, along with those working behind the scenes, made all the difference.
If you’re facing academic dismissal or any similar challenge, I highly recommend choosing K Altman Law. They are truly the best of the best. I’m forever grateful and forever indebted to them.

K Altman Law was very helpful during a very difficult time I inquired with the university where I am enrolled. It was stressful and I did not think I was going to be able to complete my degree. If it was not for them I would have lost close to $100,000 and 7 years invested in my doctorate.
