Posted by Sheri | November 07, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Slip and Fall Accident

Great Attorney!

After highly successful results, I would recommend Attorney Stuart Plotnick without hesitation. I had a complicated Slip and Fall personal injury case with multiple injuries resulting in multiple surgeries and procedures. Stuart helped me to navigate through the necessary steps to build a strong case... and continued his support, encouraging patience (over 4 years) through my long and arduous healing process. His experience in allowing the true breadth of the injury to reveal itself, eventually led to the best outcome for my award. Since my injury occurred while I was visiting Maryland, I never actually met Stuart in person, but we were able to develop a friendly and personable attorney client relationship through email, phone calls and Zoom meetings. He was responsive and always personally available to address my concerns, and his team treated me with kindness and professionalism. As the case progressed, Stuart included me in all correspondence which kept me informed and up to date with his plans, and that of opposing counsel. He also spent whatever time was necessary to make sure I understood the process, was prepared for interviews and depositions, and quelled my anxiety for the unknown. Thankfully, we were able to settle my case and I did not have to go to court, but I was able to see his confidence and experience emerge in the process. Stuart was prepared and encouraged me to take the case through the court if I was not satisfied with the results of mediation, however he skillfully and methodically worked toward negotiating a generous settlement, actually resulting in a greater award than the opposing counsel anticipated. Stuart reminded me often that my feeling of satisfaction was his primary concern.

Great experience

Stuart Plotnick has handled two separate personal injury cases for me (car accident and slip and fall). Both times he provided excellent advice, was easy to talk to, and did I thorough job. I was very pleased with the outcome and would highly recommend Stuart.

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.

Shakespeare was Wrong About Killing the Lawyers in the Case of Stuart

I strongly recommend Stuart to anyone needing a lawyer specializing in slip and fall or personal injury cases. I had a bad fall and broke my knee. From the start, Stuart was always accessible, from our initial meeting to the very successful settlement. He kept pushing the insurance carrier for ma...ximum recovery in my case. His communication skills are excellent; Answering phone calls and emails without delay, explaining clearly the perimeters of the case, sequence of steps in the litigation process and continually keeping me informed as to the status of the claim. We worked together as a team; He was an active listener, valued my input. I respected his legal expertise and judgement allowing me with a minimum of hassle and anxiety to heal and get back to my life!
