Child Custody Case

Mr. Plumbar settled a child custody case for my family that was getting out of hand. When we went to him he assured us from the beginning that everything would be fine. He did exactly what he said he would do. I never had to go to one court date so my work schedule was safe. My child never was aw...are of the process which was the main thing. I wanted it to be worked out as quietly as possible. Mr. Plumbar is a great lawyer and I would recommend him to anyone!!!

Child Custody Case

I can't say enough good things about him! After a grueling 3 year long battle with my Ex trying to regain custody of my kids I finally saw light at the end of the tunnel and he won my case. Before I retained his services I had been through 2 different lawyers and spent thousands of dollars only to fe...el like I had been taking advantage of. Joseph is very professional and went above and beyond what I had EVER saw an Attorney do. He knows and understands how the law system works. He explains everything clearly and lets you know up front what to expect good or bad. Trust me you can't go wrong with hiring him and having him represent you! The court room is his playground!

Dismissal

Hired Mr Plumbar to fight my felony case when I was swindled into trying to cash a check. He fought hard and with time and patience rejected offers that were proposed by the District attorney's office and got it knocked down to a misdemeanour and from there to dismissal. I would recommend hiring this... lawyer if you ever need anything to have a thorough look over and someone in your corner fighting hard for you.

Great Lawyer

Caught a P.O.M and unlawful carry of a handgun. (misdemeanors) The DA tried to hit me with 30days.... I freaked... Mr. Plumbar did an awesome job taking care of me seeking justice. He got my P.O.M dismissed and I pled guilty to unlawful carry of a handgun with time served... Case closed. Gotta love a... great lawyer....

Mr. Plumbar, Joseph

Mr. Plumbar is the lawyer to have when you are in the mist of a battle with any wrongful doing of others. I will give you a brief description on how much Joseph will fight for you! There was a day when a person called to the insurance company anonymous and said i wasn't in the wreck. Who this person ...was, we don't know but the insurance called Mr. Plumbar and told him that I was under investigation. So Mr. Joseph took matters in his on hands and went straight for the insurance company. Letting the insurance company know that he was my lawyer and he knows for a fact I was in the wreck because of all the information I had given him plus my police report ,pictures and etc. So after Mr. Plumbar spoke with the insurance company about me, the insurance company took me off of investigation. This is just a little to let you know how Mr. Joseph is always there when you need him, dependable, loyal, faithful to his word, trustworthy, reliable, I can go on and on but I don't have enough words to express how great I am to having a lawyer like Mr. Joseph and how greatful he has been to my family. Mr. Joseph Plumbar is a true meaning of a ( lawyer ) go getter!!!
