Cale Plamann

Attorney Cale was my attorney of record in family court for a couple of years. To start off, he had a dismal outcome in a placement change/court study. Clear to all, including this study itself, what was better for the children. Cale nor the study out reflected this. Fast forward to the past two ...years, Cale has discouraged filing contempt motions for large items, does not return calls and is impossible to get ahold of. When I call the office I am told he is busy and unavailable. In a conversation this winter, I did discover that he hasn't been busy as a lawyer, but has written 6 books. I was flabbergasted at the news. Fast forward to this spring, again I am unable to get ahold of him. We have had easy pending issues to get addressed since September of last year with perfect direction. He failed to execute. Again, I call the office- not available and does return phone calls. I was able to finally make an appointment. On the day and time when I called in, I was told Cale was under deadlines and wasn't able to take my call. In recap, Cale displayed poor communication, poor advice and execution.

Cale failed to communicate during the entire process for which he was hired. Cale did not respond to phone calls or emails. I had previously hired Cale for another issue relating to a property purchase agreement and he failed to do anything more than some mediocre research and left everything to the ...last possible minute. I should have learned from my first awful experience with Cale that he wouldn't be capable of handling something of the utmost urgency - something that impacted the safety of my elderly mother. Don't ever rely on Cale for anything more than a research item if even that. If you have an urgent, even slightly important issue find someone that has more experience, has communication skill (or even a cell phone of their own, not someone else's). He notified me with 30 minutes until our initial meeting on the issue relating to my mother that he was going to have to reschedule, as I was on my way out of the country, he didn't respond to anything after that for over two weeks with multiple attempts on my end to get some communication flow from him, even costing me more money to have to repeatedly call his different numbers from overseas. Don't waste a minute of your time or a single one of your dimes to fool around with this "lawyer" if you can call him that. Go find someone that is experienced, and capable. He can't even do the most basic of things. He's constantly coming up with excuse after excuse, is inexperienced, and has an uncanny inability to accomplish any simple task, and is not trustworthy to say the least. I tried to put it nicely to Cale the first time he failed me and let him know he was relieved of his duty, this time I FIRED him to instead utilize a capable resource. Never would I recommend Cale or this one person show he calls a law office.
