Lifesaver- Literally!

Robert handled my child custody case, as well as 2 bogus criminal charges that arose amidst my custody case. He was amzing from the start. First, he was very straightforward with me, told me how bad I screwed up (which I absolutely did), & made no promises, because of my many screwups, other than he ...was going to do his very best for me & my kids. Well his best was more than I could have ever hoped for. He beat both of my criminal charges, & he won for me sole custody of my kids, with a no-contact order that was in place for 6 months! Amazing! Our lives are completely perfect now, no more courts, judges, etc. Not only that, but considering I had so, so many court cases happening at once, I obviously didn't have a bunch of $ laying around to pay everything. They never harrassed me, never even went after me for interest, which I know they could have, as it took years to pay my bill. Needless to say, if I ever need an outstanding attorney to mop the floor with the system again, Robert is the only choice. Thanks so much to you & your staff!

Outstanding Attorney

I hired Robert to handle my divorce case. My first initial meeting with him was that he is very confident, aggressive and knows the law. He was able to handle everything in a timely manner and was very successful in court. I felt in good hands with him representing me and would definitely hire him ag...ain for any legal matters that may come up in the future.

Great Attorney!

Attorney Plantz is a wonderful divorce attorney. He is upfront and honest with how your case can be handled. He is trustworthy but I had to realize these procedures do not happen over night, it is a process. Yet and still the end result was very much so worth waiting for. Attorney Plantz , was ver...y aggressive and motivated to help me through this very difficult time in my life. Attorney Plantz was worth every dollar, comparing him to other Attorney's around the area he was by far the most reasonable. He exceeded my expectations in every way.

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.

Excellent lawyer

Robert stands above all other attorneys. He is knowledgeable, trustworthy, and knows the law. He has earned great respect from other peers and judges in his area from what we have seen. Robert is sophisticated in his technical skills; he has the legal experience, and analytical capabilities. He clear...ly explains your options and doesn’t beat around the bush. He gets results and in our opinion is very crafty with his legal know-how. He is competent and aggressive he will fight for you and he fights to win. He has great communication skills, is cordial, pleasant, honest, and very confident. He has encompassed our case for over 3 years now and represented us on numerous cases. The longest one being a custody suit where he has won every hearing for us and done exactly what he said he would. He is an excellent lawyer he efficiently used his and our time and is extremely knowledgeable of family law. He took the worry away from us, listened to our concerns, and acted upon them. There are few lawyers in our opinion that can take a complex case like ours and make it worry free and seem so simple. Great lawyer would recommend him 100%.
