Amazing divorce lawyer

After dealing with an extremely contentious and difficult divorce for nearly 2 years, Attorney Plantz took over my case and I'm so glad he did. I don't think many people can say they got exactly what they wanted or thought was fair in their divorce, but I can, and I'm still in (happy) shock now that ...things are finally over. Getting divorced is scary and stressful, and since I filed, all I wanted was to get things done and divided up quickly and fairly. He kept my expectations realistic and never made crazy promises just to get me to file more (aka pay him more money) like so many other lawyer do. He talked me off a ledge more times than one (I can be a little anxious lol) and showed compassion as well as always staying professional and above board. I cannot recommend him enough!

Exceptional Legal Representation with Life-Changing Results

Words cannot fully express my sincere gratitude for Attorney Plantz and his exceptional team. Navigating my divorce was anything but easy—complicated by time zone differences, the tail end of the COVID pandemic, and an extremely difficult spouse. Before hiring Attorney Plantz, I was advised that purs...uing any financial compensation would be a waste of time. Thankfully, that advice was wrong. Through his diligence, persistence, and deep knowledge of the law, Attorney Plantz was able to secure my right to a portion of my spouse’s retirement—something I had been told was impossible. His efforts have helped ensure a more secure financial future for me, and for that I am forever grateful. As a teacher, I also deeply appreciated his fairness and affordability throughout the process. Thank you, Attorney Plantz, for your unwavering support, professionalism, and commitment to justice. I am truly thankful.

Straight-forward and Delivers

I found attorney Plantz through this site initially so I understand how reading reviews can help paint a picture and are one of the only tools you have to go on in a sea of info. I cannot say enough good things about Atty Plantz and his practice. In often high-stress post divorce situations, he was... the perfect blend of aggressiveness to my case, patience to my emotional ups/downs and reactivity, and thoughtfulness to our family's unique situations. He even helped implement communication standards that improved interactions tremendously with the ex. His fees were more than fair and he doesn't nickel and dime all the small things. He will be our lawyer for any future issues and I recommend him to people all the time. Staff is super friendly and helpful as well!

"Awesome Lawyer"

I had almost given up with hiring another attorney after having two bad lawyers back to back on the same issue. Luckily, someone recommended Robert that he would make sure that my child support is properly calculated and he would get me back on track with me being able to see my kids. When i met him ...and narrated my case, i could see the confidence in his face and in how he spoke with authority which was cool. He has helped me in getting my child support modified. He did this service at a very reasonable fee. During the entire time, i received via email every update as they unfold on time. Each time i went to his office, i never waited for more than five minutes and everyone in the office made sure that they took care of my concern if he was not on sit. If you need a Lawyer for divorce,child support, child visitation. Look no further because Robert Plantz is your answer.

Amazing team

Been fighting custody for year of my minor children I should’ve went with Mr Plantz and his team from the beginning but trusted my first attorney and thousands of dollars later was screwed by my first attorney. Mr Plantz and his team took on my case on a emergency and we won. We had a open and shut... case and he and his team delivered. He has taken on other cases for my friends and family members and has been truth to his word. Great team and staff I am forever thankful
