Why We Began
K Altman Law was founded with a singular purpose: to level the playing field for students and individuals facing complex legal and civil rights challenges. Keith Altman, a seasoned litigator, recognized the critical need for dedicated advocacy in Student Defense, Special Education law, Title IX, and Civil Rights litigation. After witnessing countless students and individuals struggle against powerful institutions without adequate support, he made it his mission to create a firm that prioritizes legal fairness and justice.
A Defining Moment:
One defining moment in our journey occurred when a student, unjustly accused of academic misconduct, faced expulsion without due process. Seeing the profound impact on their future, we stepped in—ensuring their voice was heard, their rights were upheld, and their academic career remained intact. Similarly, we have fought for individuals facing discrimination and civil rights violations, holding institutions accountable and seeking justice for those who need it most. These cases reinforced our belief in the necessity of strong legal advocacy, shaping the core of K Altman Law’s mission.
A Personal Message from Our Founder – A Note from Keith Altman:
“To every student, parent, and individual who finds themselves in an uphill battle—I want you to know that you are not alone. K Altman Law was built to stand beside you, to advocate for fairness, and to ensure that your voice is heard. We have fought for countless students and individuals, and we will continue to challenge institutions to uphold justice. Our journey is about more than winning cases; it’s about making real change in the lives of those we represent. We’re here for you—today and always.”
