Review Stephen Plog

very honest and hard working attorney!

Posted by

We came to Mr. Plog 6 years ago with a custody battle which needed swift action to protect our grandparents rights. Stephen Plog gave us the truth of the pros and cons of our case. He is very honest and tells you if you're going to be spending money needlessly on unjustified court costs. If you need a good lawyer with integrity and will work hard for your case...then he is your attorney!

Stephen Plog's response: Thank you for the Great Review. Our goal at Plog & Stein is always the best possible outcomes for our clients, whether through court or settlement!

THE best Family attorney in the Denver metro area

Posted by

Plog & Stein is THE best Family Law firm in the Denver Metro area. I had gone through 2 other family attorneys prior to finding Plog & Stein. The only regret I have is not hiring them sooner. This is the first time I have ever felt that I truly had an ally and have an attorney who really has my families best interest and will work hard and tirelessly for me. I was involved in a very complex and contentious family law case and I am so grateful I had Stephen Plog of Plog & Stein on my side. The attorney's at this firm truly care about their clients. They do not nickle and dime their clients and they will give you honest and up front guidance. They are very responsive and easy to talk to. I cannot recommend them enough and if I could I would give them 100 stars.

PLOG & STEIN, P.C....TOTALLY OUTSTANDING...MVP‏

Posted by

After speaking with several Attorneys including Plog & Stein, P.C. It was clear that Mr. Plog was the Divorce Attorney that I was looking for. Mr. Plog is professional, knowledgeable, efficient, caring, understanding and his listening skills are excellent. Mr. Plog is very good at keeping you informed as to whats going on with your case. You're treated as though you're his only client. At one point doing my case Mr. Plog had a previous engagement. He assigned another Plog and Stein's Attorney to handle my case. Sarah McCain was knowledgeable, confident and well versed about my case. Sarah did an excellent job. I was also impressed with Plog & Stein's Paralegal, Sherry Westerman. Sherry is energetic, sharp and on top of things. She's always pleasant and has a great attitude. Thanks to Mr. Plog for going down this road with me and always looking out for my best interest. The world looks brighter and now I can move on and live a HAPPY LIFE! My case was one with some difficulties, however, that did not deter Mr. Plog. His negotiating skills are outstanding. I was very pleased with the Settlement Agreement. Mr. Plog scored a TOUCHDOWN!! If you're looking for the BEST I strongly recommend PLOG & STEIN, P.C.

I met Stephen about 8 years ago through previous client of his.  I was very impressed with his work. A few years later, I ended up in need of a lawyer, I had no doubt or hesitation to contact Stephen right away. Stephen is a very smart and compassionate family attorney who knows his stuff. He was available on the phone/email and respond to my queries promptly. If he wasn't, he would quickly let you know, set up a day and time that worked for both.  Above all he is a great human being who genuinely cares for his clients. I not only found an excellent attorney but a great friend as well. He'll fight for you as if you are a part of his family. He always keeps you up to date on everything.  Stephen is very reassuring and has always made me feel very at ease with any concerns and such. I would not hesitate to use this law firm again should I need further assistance in the future. I personally and strongly recommend Plog & Stein, PC  firm for all your divorce and family matters. *Happy Client*

Lifesavers

Posted by

I came to this firm at a low point in my life. My divorce had been completed and my ex was looking to move away with my child. They helped me understand my rights and the law. I was able to keep my visitation and get orders for her paying for travel. I used other lawyers in the past and spent a whole lot more money. They treated me fairly and I got what I paid for. I will use them again when new changes come.

Intelligent and helpful law firm

Posted by

I met with one of the lawyers at Plog & Stein a few months back. I wasn't looking for a lawyer for my case, just some advice. I did a meeting and received an analysis of my case. The information I got helped me to make the right decisions about how to get things settled. If I need other help I know where to go for family law advice.

Excellent divorce lawyer

Posted by

I came to Plog & Stein two weeks before my final hearing. I was not happy with my first lawyer and knew I needed a change. They were able to see me quickly and were fully prepared to fight for me in court. I know they are there for me if I have more problems later on.

Save the best for last!

Posted by

My divorce case took 2 years to be done. I went through two other lawyers before I found Plog & Stein. Steve was my attorney. Having had a bad experience twice before, I was hesitant when it came to finding a new lawyer. Steve sat down with me, explained the process, explained what he would do differently, and went to working. He helped me to understand the court system and where my case was really at. We were ready to go to court, but were able to get thing settled in the end. I was able to move on with my life with my dignity and wallet intact. I can't say that would've been the case without Plog & Stein.

Outstanding Lawyer

Posted by

Mr. Plog helped me through one of the most difficult times in my life. My case was exceptionally ugly. He was there to give me the advice and support I needed. In the end I ended up with a fair financial settlement. He also fought for me and my kids and made sure they had a voice in the process. He was knowledgable and friendly. HIs staff was too. I hope I don't need a lawyer again, but if I do I know where to go.

Horrible and Unprofessional!

Posted by

Mr. Plog is unprofessional and does not seem to have a clear understanding of the laws. He seems to be more interested in dragging out the case for no one's benefit but his own. In our case he advised me that I did not have to provide tax returns or bank statements to my ex that are required under 16.2. This was of course incorrect and costs me thousands of dollars in delays. If you need an attorney I would look elsewhere.

I have had the pleasure of working with Mr. Plog on a handful of cases.

Stephanie Randall, Family Attorney on Aug 22, 2016
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

I met Stephen as opposing counsel on an emotional and difficult family law case. Despite the difficulty of the case, Stephen was both a fierce advocate for his client and able to balance a reasonable outcome that was best for the parties' child. I endorse this lawyer.

Todd Burnham, Family Attorney on May 18, 2016
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

Stephen has been opposing counsel on several cases over the years. He advocates for his clients while seeing the "big picture" of the case. Both sides get more value, and matters are less-expensive overall, when cases are handled by skilled attorneys. Stephen Plog is a certainly a skilled attorney and worthy adversary.

Sharon Liko, Family Attorney on Apr 20, 2016
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

If I had to choose my opposing counsel, Steve would be in the top three. I have had several cases with Steve over the years. Steve is a pleasure to work with. He has the ability to balance zealous advocacy of his client with professionalism and cordiality towards opposing counsel. Steve is a reasonable, intelligent and skilled attorney who doesn't waste time or money getting the job done. In fact, I referred one of my closest friends to Steve when she was looking for a divorce attorney. That says it all!

Edra Pollin, Family Attorney on Mar 29, 2016
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

Steve Plog is an excellent attorney. He zealously represents his clients while maintaining a friendly, professional and productive relationship with opposing counsel.

I have always appreciated the high level of competence and professionalism which is the hallmark of this law firm.

Stephen Calder, DUI and DWI Attorney on Mar 28, 2016
