outstanding service

I hired Mr. Plotnick to represent me at my horrible divorce and trial. While opposing counselor and my ex lied their way through, Mr. Plotnick did everything he possibly could always being professional and true to the facts. I really appreciated his effort, honesty, and smart way of asking questions ...at the trial when I worked pro-se on the appeal of the judgment. Working on my Brief I found everything in the transcripts that I needed for my appeal to be successful. I won my appeal and I’m not an attorney. Based on the trial evidence presented to the judge by Mr.Plotnick, all three Appellate Court judges recognized that our trial judge abused her discretion (the judge retired after my appeal). After appeal I re-hired Mr. Plotnick and with his help we reached a settlement on my terms. I highly recommend Mr. Plotnick for divorce case and trial. I trusted his experience, knowledge, intuition, and always felt that he is on my side.

Avvo Rating

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.
