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.

Best Lawyer ever!!

Robert is very knowledgeable in what he practices. He set me free from chains that held me back for 8+ years. He takes pride, and tome in his cases...and dosent just take your money, and give you a “we’ll see what happens kinda feeling”. He gets things done, and does them thoroughly!!!! Highly recomm...end him

An Awesome Attorney!!!

Words are inadequate to tell how much Mr. Plantz did for me. I’d talked with a number of attorneys but none would take my case. It was too difficult. Without Mr. Plantz it would have been impossible to succeed because it was a difficult case with a very spiteful ex-spouse. Getting ready for court... Mr. Plantz was great. He told me what he needed from me, and always got right back to me when I called. In court Mr. Plantz was amazing. I was a nervous wreck, but his kindness and encouragement calmed me down. He knew the issue was “am I disabled”, and every time the opposing lawyer tried to bring something else into it, Mr. Plantz pulled it back to the issue. He was also able to show that I am disabled without demeaning me, and it was clear he knew the law much better than the opposing lawyer. As I watched and listened to the proceedings I knew I was safe in his hands. We won! Mr. Plantz was a blessing to me and I trust him! Tammy Fuerst

Beyond happy

We hired attorney plantz for our VERY complicated and one of a kind visitation case. It honestly took a tremendous amount of bravery on his behalf to take our case. We are beyond thrilled with our representation that he provided us. He is extremely knowledgeable and hands down the best family law law...yer in our region. Highly recommend.
