dissapointing

would not recommend this lawyer. did not have any contact with him in 3 years of a 5 year bankruptcy. every time i contacted the office he was never there and the only conversations i had was with his secretary never with him. Then I find out he moves out of state and he or anyone from his office di...d not even let me know. I found out months later that he is practicing in another state. Then he closed his office in Michigan again without notice. I later found out that there were many of his clients in the same situation as me. Sad that a lawyer can take your money but not really care about his client or think his client deserves the respect of at least letting them know he is no longer in the state in which you hired him in. I still do not have any correspondence from him and he has been gone for months. If I never asked how would I have even known he was gone! The answer was I would not have known. I am so sad to say that my trust in the court system has been tainted all because of this experience with Joseph Pleva.

Very Misleading

We filed for chapter 13 originally, then he suggested we file for chapter 7 6 months later, after further reviewing our case. He did provide us with the confidence an attorney should provide, he sent his associate to a couple of our hearings who was unprepared. He did not file all of the necessary pa...perwork with the courts prior to our hearing. He kept changing his mind and consequently wer are now having to look at other attorneys to help us clean up the mess that he created.

I am the attorney and I would like to respond to this review and clear up some inconsistencies. This client came into our office more than 4-5 years ago. At the time our office was going through a transition period. We hired an associate attorney to attend some hearings such as the one brought up here. She did not work out and is no longer in our employ. For the last 3 years we have employed an excellent associate attorney and I am confident in her ability to handle hearings such as this.

Extremely Satisfied Client

I am very impressed and pleased with my attorney. He has overwhelming knowledge of the legal system and continues to place my needs first. He works hard and he does outstanding research. I couldn't have chosen a better lawyer.
