About Steven E.
Steven E. Altman earned his undergraduate degree in economics from Trinity College in 1989. He went on to receive his J.D. from Suffolk University Law School in 1992. Those years laid the groundwork for a legal career centered on Massachusetts courts.
After law school he gained admission to practice in Massachusetts and in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts. He builds his practice from that local base and has spent his career working in Massachusetts litigation circles. Over time he became a partner at Altman & Altman LLP, a firm where he continues to serve clients.
Altman’s professional life is marked by steady involvement in bar and trial organizations. He holds memberships in the Massachusetts State Bar, the Massachusetts Bar Association, the Massachusetts Academy of Trial Lawyers, the American Trial Lawyers Association, and the American Association of Justice. Those affiliations place him in the company of lawyers who regularly try cases and handle contested matters in court.
Colleagues describe him as someone who prefers a pragmatic approach in the courtroom. He has taken depositions, prepared motions and argued before judges in state and federal venues. He approaches each file with detailed preparation and a sense for how evidence will play at trial. He has navigated both pretrial procedures and courtroom calendars in Massachusetts for many years.
At Altman & Altman LLP he works alongside other litigators, sharing responsibility for case strategy, client counseling and courtroom advocacy. His day-to-day work involves drafting pleadings, briefing motions and appearing in hearings. He also participates in bar activities and trial lawyer gatherings that keep him connected to developments in trial practice.
He currently practices at Altman & Altman LLP, representing clients in matters that proceed in Massachusetts state and federal courts.
