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.

Outstanding!!!

Definitely, this is the best accident firm. Stuart and Jackie are an amazing team. From the first call, I knew right away my search was over in looking for a personal injury attorney. I am grateful for all their support in helping me through my ordeal. There is no end to my pain and suffering from th...e accident, but there is some comfort in closure and knowing that with Stuart’s help I received a fair and good settlement. Stuart is very knowledgeable, responsive, hardworking, and persevering. Need an honest attorney who has great listening skills, patience, and empathy? Look no further, just call Stuart.

Slip and fall

I will forever be grateful to Stuart, after 3 years and 6 months of litigation, we finally reached a great outcome, for the injury I sustained on 8/1/2018. I was referred to Stuart by another Attorney. I explained to him what happened he immediately counseled me, emailed all the paperwork. I needed m...edical care and immediately I was referred to a Neurologist and Orthopedic for my body pain and tremors I have. Stuart fought all the way through mediation and arbitration. It was a long fight but he did it. Thank you so much. Gracias

never got back to me after receiving docs

i inquired whether mr. plotnick would take my case, he sent me forms to fill and requested documentation. i supplied everything and he received it. then he stopped communicating. i have no problems with him not taking my case, but it would be professionally (and humanly) proper to just d=say that and... not diappear.

Replied last March 07, 2020

If this is accurate, we sincerely apologize, but I do not recall this inquiry. We always potential clients with a thorough discussion about their claims and whether we think we can help them, and part of this comes from asking them to provided detailed information about what happened to them and what they are going through so we can do an assessment. I do not recall Mr. Vitaly, and apologize for any oversight, but it is not a case that appears in our database. We always try to provide a prompt response whether or not we are accepting a case. Mr. Vitaly if you would like to reach out and remind me about your case, I would be happy to discuss with you. Stuart
