Belkis Christina Plata

Belkis Plato is definitely the best, she is a great lawyer and definitely recommend her to anyone in need of a legal attorney. Ms. Plato has helped me and my family on a few legal cases and has represented us very well. She lets us know what the process for everything will be like and is constantl...y keeping us updated and aware of the statuses of our case. Amazing person overall! I’m very thankful and appreciate how attentive she is with us, you can really tell she cares.

I was given Belkis Plato’s number from a family friend and told she was great and would be able to help me out in my legal situation. Almost instantly, it went from me worrying constantly about what could happen to her assuring me she would do everything in her power to assist me. Just as she state...d, my situation disappeared in an instant and all issues were resolved without stepping foot in a courtroom. I thank her for her assistance and would recommend her to anyone needing legal counsel.

When we consulted Ms Plata we found ourselves in a very complicated situation (and a massive misunderstanding of events) facing 15 years in prison at most and being labeled a predator. Working for months, with many meetings, both with us and the prosecution, Ms Plata was able to convince the prosecut...ion to drop the charges entirely. More than we were expecting. More than we could hope for. Ms Plata was there for us every step of the way. She was always available to answer questions. We never felt like she was giving us false hope, and yet she always left us feeling secure, that she understood the situation and was doing her best to fight for the truth. She is a professional with integrity. Ms Plata has our eternal thanks and graditude.

Ms.Plata has helped me and changed me as an individual in ways that words can’t explain. For one she’s the best attorney and the only attorney that I would ever recommend to somebody looking for help. I was 16 when my parents first hired Ms.Plata as my defense attorney for a crime that I committed as... a juvenile. Needless to say the state attorney prosecutor decided to charge me as an adult which meant that I had to face a minimum mandatory of 10+ Years in prison on adult charges for my first ever offense and an offense that I committed as a juvenile. Ms.Plata along with her team have fought long and hard for over the last 4 years and continue to fight for me after the matter. I was originally supposed to do 10-15 years on my original charge but after fighting my case for a little over a year, Ms.Plata had convinced the court to sentence me as a juvenile to a juvenile residential facility until my 21st birthday at the age of 17 with the condition that I will not remain a convicted felon afterwards. During that time she was always checking up on me and showed me a type of concern and love that only someone who genuinely cares for their clients can show. I never not once had to worry about her not doing her job or making the right decision or even coming to visit me to check on how I was doing, which as a parent I know means a lot to have someone go beyond their work hours and regular expectations to make sure their children are safe and fine when they can’t. The state attorney that was over my case could only be described as the worst prosecutor that an accused defendant and defendant’s family can ever dream of going up against. Yet Ms.Plata stood there the entire time by our sides and fought with such fierce devotion and strategy to defend me. She in other words can be described as an arch angel set to protect her clients with only the purest intentions yet with the most devoted protection. My parents were immigrants who spoke little Spanish and didn’t know the first thing to do in a situation like this. Yet they heard of her through a friend and were instantly took care of by her. Ms.Plata being bilingual made it easy for them to communicate with her and she made sure that she took care of any concerns that they had while also upholding and maintaining attorney and client privileges. That occurred back in 2018 fast forward to today’s time it is now July 2022 and thanks to Ms.Plata and her team’s hard work I’ve managed to get released early before my 21st birthday. Not only am I not a convicted felon but I was blessed enough to receive a Fully Paid For Two-Year Scholarship to attend any college in the state of Florida that the program that I was sentenced to provided for me that was only possible through the opportunity that Ms.Plata had made for me. Ms.Plata has been an amazing lawyer, a great family friend, and more importantly a mentor to me and someone that I could always go to and will forever look up to. She has forever impacted my life in ways that words will never be able to describe and been an over all blessing to me and my family’s life, as well as others. Thank You.

Belkis Plata went above and beyond with my case. I could have been facing major prison time surrounding the felony offense. My case was resolved with a withhold of adjudication so I will not be a convicted felon. I received probation, with curfew and community service. Belkis was readily available wh...en I needed anything and easy to get ahold of. She communicates with her client and represents them to the fullest. One thing that sets her apart from other attorneys is she listens to what you want and what you would like to achieve and she goes for it. If she thinks what you want isn’t in your best interest she’s going to tell you just that. Belkis was referred to me and I’d gladly refer her to anyone without hesitation. Without her I don’t know where I would be but I’m not in prison and that is because of her.
