Child Custody/Car Accident

I can't say enough good things about Mr. Plumbar! He was my attorney with a child custody case and also a car accident. Always prepared and kept me informed of everything that was happening along the way. He is VERY knowledgeable and I was left utterly speechless of how well he handled my cases. ... He is nothing nice in the court room and I feel for anyone who is up against him!! I advise anyone that is looking for a KNOWLEDGABLE AND EXPERIENCED ATTORNEY that truly cares about you as a client to choose Mr. Plumbar.. You won't be disappointed I promise!!

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!

Attorney Joseph Plumbar

Mr. Plumbar represented me as my attorney in a mediation to modify child custody. He is very professional and passionate about his job and very informative. In the end he was able to get me what plus more. If needed, I would recommend and use him as an attorney any day.
