Excellent

Robert Plantz is a highly experienced and professional attorney. Robert was my divorce attorney and worked extremely hard to make sure that I was protected and that I received a much more than fair settlement. I am extremely happy with the outcome of my divorce, as Robert is well versed with the law ...and uses his knowledge, his experience and his expertise to ensure that his clients, myself included, receive the absolute best service and outcomes. I intend on using Robert in the future, if needed, as he strongly advocated for me and made my divorce a priority. He is my go-to guy for all legal matters, as I completely trust him and his law firm. He says what he means, and he means what he says. Robert is a no-nonsense attorney who fights for his clients. This man delivers. I recommend this attorney to anyone looking for someone to fight for their rights and to take their legal matters seriously. Robert took his time in listening to my concerns and returned my e-mails and phone calls promptly. He explained clearly all steps involved in the divorce process and kept me well informed. I always felt that I was in good hands with Robert and his law firm. In addition, Carmen, his legal assistant, is second to none. She is amazing. Extremely professional and courteous. Highly recommended. Truly Grateful. Thank you, Robert and team.

Attorney Robert Plantz, Wow! He is an amazing Attorney.

Words are inadequate to tell how much Mr. Plantz did for me in court. Without him it would have been impossible to succeed because it was a difficult case with a very spiteful ex-spouse. Mr. Plantz was amazing. He took control and was clear and convincing. Going into court I was terrified, but felt m...ore secure as he made the issues clear. Every time the other attorney raised other issues, Mr. Plantz brought it back to the issue at hand. He proved I am disabled without demeaning me. WOW! He was amazing! Mr. Plantz is knowledgeable, competent, and convincing. In court he thinks quickly on his feet and presented my case forcefully and effectively. He is approachable, a good listener, and always got back to me. He is a great lawyer and a real blessing. I highly recommend him to others.

No Nonsense Attorney

Attorney Plantz is a no nonsense type of Attorney. He does not entertain the back and forth bickering with the opposing counsel to waste time or money. There were times I would get frustrated by delay or lack of response from him, however I now realize he knew there wasn’t anything he could do unti...l it was brought in front of a Judge since we were well past the point of settling outside of court. My previous Attorney did communicate back and forth constantly with me and the opposing attorney addressing every little disagreement and it got me nothing more than a large bill. So I can now say I am grateful he didn’t run up my bill on something he knew would not be beneficial. He proved himself in court where it counts and we were able to finally get a ruling that was in our favor. So glad I found him, and know he will be my Attorney for any other issues that may arise in the future.

Life Changing Referral

I was referred to Attorney Plantz by a friend, who happened to be an attorney as well. Because the attorney didn't practice what I needed, I called Robert. First off, his office staff is excellent! Since they are your first point of contact, I do believe that it reflects on the attorney. So my first ...initial encounter with them (first phone call and meeting) I was very surprised on how helpful and professional they were. It made the process so much easier to handle! The first time speaking with Robert on the phone, he seemed ready and very calm. He let me talk first, which made me feel he genuinely cared about my situation/case which I knew would be a messy divorce. Understatement. He guided me throughout the whole process. He didn't sugar coat anything and that was something that I really respected. He was definitely on MY side. He did everything he said he would do in the time that he said it would take. In fact, he did the whole "under promise over deliver" and yet again gained my trust and respect . I didn't have to call every day wondering what was going on because he told me at the very beginning, that if he ever needed anything from me he or his staff would contact me. When I did call to speak with him, he either took the call right away or called me back within 24 hours. I received emails from his office with any reminders of court dates or anything from the court. They say that people who help you or "bring the light back in your life" you remember forever. Well that is what Attorney Plantz has done for me and I have been referring anyone who needs a Family Law Attorney to him. If you are looking for an educated, agressive, honest and trustworthy attorney, I strongly recommend hiring him as your attorney. And a bonus point on his part..he has really really nice suits.
