Outstanding law firm!

Outstanding law firm! Office full of beautiful people inside and out. I highly recommend! Tim I remember feeling beyond frustrated confused and overwhelmed about how to handle my financial situation. While dealing with a child in and out of the hospital due to a severe brain injury. Thank you for bei...ng so straight forward and professional. You and your staff have shown to be very caring and attentive, both before and after the bankruptcy process. I told you once before I believe I came across your firm by the grace of The Lord and I meant that. Though you just gave me that handsome smile of yours and just shook your head. That is because you are very good at what you do and at times our jobs can become repetitious However; you need to know that when you help people in or heading towards socioeconomic deprivation you are more than just an attorney. Money has tremendous power over us as individuals and when there is a lack thereof it can block the road of our journey. You help to Clear those roads or just build another entirely. We are all set in position in life to help people in one form or another. That being said thank you for clearing that financial road for me, so now I can start my new journey. Many thanks, blessing and continue success to you and your staff. Forever Grateful, TF, Bridgeport

Professional services

Attorney Pletter and his staff very extremely professional and knowledgeable. Walked me careful through each step and answered all of my questions. I felt confident with his counsel and guidance.

Look no further, Attorney Pletter is top notch.

Attorney Pletter has handled two cases of mine, one for my husband (Coincidently prior to us dating) and two close friends of mine. I came on the site to research a regulation. To my surprise I came across Attorney Pletters response to an inquiry. Seeing I had never completed a review for him I was c...ompelled to do so in hopes to provide individuals seeking legal counsel with my candid opinion plus others I know experience who he represented. From the first moment I spoke to him I felt comfortable and a sense of relief. He was kind, professional, extremely knowledgeable, calm and exhibited a empathetic demeanor. Tim offered emotional succor, provided top notch legal advice and guidance during a difficult situation. He customizes his work method based on his clients needs so if you want a straight, no fluff representative Tim will provide you with it however if you require a little extra care (your hand held per say) he is more than willing to adapt to fit your needs. That being said he is always on top of the game, never misses a deadline and even better ensured I didn't procastinating providing the office with what I needed to. He is honorable and knowledgeable. He is well respected in the community and has earned this respect due to his values and commitment to his vocation. After my 1st case was closed (in my favor) I found the above was no longer just my opinion of his character its factual. Tim proved to be experienced, responsive, knowledgable and honest. If you hire Tim you can assure your situation will be in the hands of a talented, trustworthy attorney and you will be steered in the right direction. Based on my review you can see I was very pleased I choose Attorney Pletter out of all the other attorneys I met with across CT. I would highly recommend Tim to anyone seeking legal representation. If you are looking for someone that is fair, honest and will keep your best interest and unique needs at the forefront thats Attorney Pletter. Should the situation arise, I would not hesitate to contact Attorney Pletter to take my case and have recommended him to anyone looking for an attorney for close to two decades.

Recommendation

When I first consulted with Attorney Pletter, I knew immediately he would provide me with the best guidance and expertise. Supported by his polite and professional team, he helped make a difficult situation as painless as possible. He always responded to my questions and concerns in a timely manner... and took the time to find the best solutions for me and my family. I had complete trust in his ability to navigate me through the process and felt completely at ease knowing he was the one representing me. I can’t thank Tim and his capable team enough for helping me at a most difficult period in my life. I would without a doubt strongly recommend Attorney Pletter.

Incredible service delivered in a warm, caring environment

Attorney Pletter managed to make one of the most stressful situations in my life much easier to go through. His expertise in the field shined through when my case proved to be much more challenging than anticipated. He stayed in contact routinely to make sure everything would go smoothly and his kind... words were much appreciated.
