Professional, thorough, and a client advocate

I hired Fritz Pluviose to assist me with a lease termination dispute. Having never been involved in a legal matter, I appreciated that he patiently guided me through the process, and was highly communicative throughout. He managed the negotiations with professionalism, and ultimately attained a favor...able outcome. I would certainly recommend Fritz.

Great lawyer. Professional, friendly, and never arrogant.

I hired Fritz Pluviose for two events, the purchase and then 7 years later the selling of a condo. He was always prompt and communicated everything in a very timely manner. When he needed some answers, he always went out of his way to reach me. He also listened and never made me feel rushed. Beside...s being professional, he was patient, friendly, and responsive. I live out of state and he went out of his way to get someone's signature and documents from the buyer of our unit. He took care of every detail that both parties requested, even when it was someone elses' responsibility. I believe his experience allowed the process to happen without a hitch. I would definitely use Fritz again as well as recommend him to anyone seeking legal services.

Great Real Estate Attorney

Fritz recently represented me in a relatively complex real estate transaction. Throughout, he was professional, thorough and communicative. He's also personable and easy to work with. I couldn't recommend him more highly.

Very Professional Real Estate Lawyer

We hired Fritz to represent us for the purchase of our first home. He discovered an issue with the title after the purchase and sale agreement, which came as a surprise to the owners as well as to us. Throughout the process of trying to understand what turned out to be a complex title issue, Fritz re...mained focused and calm and provided much needed leadership. Up through the day of the closing, Fritz showed outstanding professionalism and we would recommend him to anyone looking for representation when purchasing a home.

A True Professional

Fritz Pluviose did an outstanding job gathering the necessary information to put together a sound will for us as well as estate planning. We would recommend him (and have!) to our closest friends and family. He is extremely professional and trustworthy, as well as a true gem to work with.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
