Traffic Camera Consultation

Stephen called, was courteous and direct while providing outstanding advice. Super helpful.

An Outstanding Outcome

If you're reading this review the odds are that you or someone you love is in need of a defense attorney, in which case I wholeheartedly recommend attorney Stephen Plott. Words cannot describe the distress of learning that what began as a law enforcement response to a simple noise complaint at our so...n's apartment resulted in an incident ending with his arrest on three felony charges. From the initial contact with attorney Plott's professional and personable staff to the final outcome, attorney Plott's rapid return call time, unsurpassed availability, and patient willingness to address questions and concerns renders it impossible to overexpress the reassurance we experienced knowing that he was representing our son throughout the complicated, lengthy legal process. Most importantly, attorney Plott's expertise and ability to negotiate successfully culminated with zero felony convictions. Attorney Stephen Plott delivers!

Great representation

Mr. Plott did an amazing job as my attorney. He was able to act swiftly and pivot when needed to get the most desirable outcome for my case. Without his representation I would have lost my ability to work. He saved me a lot of money in court fees and he offers his services at reasonable price for the... results he is capable of delivering. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to him and his law firm.

Best Criminal Attorney

Attorney Plott was recommended by a family friend, and hiring him was truly the best decision I could have ever made. On February 27, 2024, my world was turned upside down. I first reached out to another attorney I’d worked with for years, but couldn’t get any information about the case. When I calle...d Mr. Plott, he immediately took action — within 15–20 minutes, he called me back with the information I needed. The very next day, I hired him. This was one of the hardest experiences my family has ever faced, but Mr. Plott was fair, straightforward, and honest every step of the way. He never gave false hope and ultimately performed what felt like a miracle with the charges we were facing. I am forever grateful for his professionalism, compassion, and dedication.

Awesome Representation

I work at a courthouse and know many lawyers. When my wife needed legal representation for a traffic accident, I chose Stephen Plott to represent her. He is knowledgeable, professional, personable, considerate, and well thought of by his peers. I could not be happier with the results of the case -... well done Mr. Plott!

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.
