Gets the job done

The first time I met Mr. Plantz, I liked how confident he was. I came to him with the hope that I could win full custody of my child, and just his attitude made me feel like I was in good hands. I did have some issues with him contacting me back at times, but in the end he won my case by pushing it i...n to emergency court, and took my child out of an unsafe environment. I liked his straight talk approach, and ability to communicate to me exactly what was happening with my case. I definetely made the right decision hiring him as my lawyer.

Worked with me in handling a difficult and bothersome child support litigation

Robert has been helping me with an ongoing situation that has been difficult to say the least in getting my ex to realize that my son needs to be living and present with me, his father. Robert has attended the situation with the utmost professionalism and I am very pleased with the results as my son ...is extremely happy to be living with me. He is fifteen going on sixteen, shortly. He can be a teenager but does respect where he is living as opposed to where he had been. I am very happy to have Robert on my side.

BewareHeartbroken and broke.

Save yourself a headache and lost funds. Seems like a nice guy and works for you but has made so many errors in my case. I don’t know if it’s negligence, too many cases, bad office personnel or he just doesn’t care about my case anymore. Look around first before you use this guy.

This review was submitted by an "anonymous" person. If this is indeed an actual client, it appears it's a current client and I'd really appreciate this client reaching out to me by phone or email to discuss his/her concerns and so we can develop strategies on how to satisfactorily handle his/her legal issues. These comments are not indicative of the legal services provided at my law firm. I have 22+ years of family law experience and I have staff who have been with me for well over 10 years. We strive to provide aggressive and responsive legal representation and I am positive that I can change this client's opinion. I am again requesting this client to reach out to me right away so we can discuss the case and address any immediate concerns. We can then develop strategies to improve this particular attorney - client relationship and bring about a positive and prompt conclusion to the case. Please email ([email protected]) or call me (219-942-3710). I look forward to speaking with this client and coming back onto Avvo and updating these comments. Thank you.

Not much to review

We did hire him and we told him it was an uncontested divorce we gave him $1500 and he went to court once for my son and because the wife was telling the judge she was pregnant with the second child of another man that lives with her that she's been taking all his money from my sons check the judge... threw his hands up and says he has to get onto another case that's when this lawyer quit and used reasons be at work really accurate and then says he asked us for money any way he quit and my son

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
