From Mary Susan Purcell

Stuart Plotnick successfully managed my personal injury case despite numerous roadblocks and lack of response from the insurance carrier. Stuart remained committed to reaching an equitable solution to my satisfaction. In addition he was very patient with my persistent inquiries as to the status of my... claim.

Excellent Legal Representation

I hired Stuart to assist me with a personal injury issue that turned into a lawsuit. He was clear with me from the beginning what the strengths and weaknesses of my case were, and what a reasonable settlement might look like. He gave me good advice throughout, and helped me negotiate a settlement tha...t I was comfortable with. I felt like he was always forthright with me and managed my expectations - he was also very patient with my many, many questions and concerns. Throughout the nearly three-year process, he always made sure to answer my phone calls/emails quickly and thoroughly. Overall, I'm very happy I used him. I hope to never be in a situation to need a personal injury attorney again, but if I did I'd use him!

Negotiated and Settled Personal Injury Case

I hired Mr. Plotnick to handle my injury case. During the initial consultation, he took the time to fully understand my situation and gave me a thorough understanding of the costs and risks involved in pursuing the claim. Once we started working together, he was effective, efficient and achieved an... excellent outcome on my behalf. I would use his services again without hesitation.

Excellent Attorney

Stuart represented me in a difficult slip and fall claim. I was extremely pleased with how the case was handled. He was honest, reassuring, and openly communicated with me throughout the process. I felt that he thoroughly explained the judicial process and the challenges we would face in court. He wa...s also genuinely concerned for my health and recovery. Stuart is a strong litigator who stayed 2 steps ahead of the defense the entire time and eliminated any questions/doubts. He worked tirelessly to ensure a positive outcome for my case.

Good Lawyer

Stuart represented me for the injuries I sustained in an automobile accident. From beginning to end, he was professional and always made sure I knew what was going on during his correspondence with the insurance company.
