Geoff knows his stuff - law, judges, peers, etc. Both he and Scott were helpful in that regard. Having said that, upon inadvertently being included on an email conversation between them, I would not recommend hiring them if you are divorcing due to mental illness from either physical &/or emotional spousal abuse. Their understanding of that is lacking which is the reason for my 3 star review.

Geoff has been my attorney for two separate family law cases. He represented me at the end of a difficult divorce case, and then again a year later for a two-year custody battle. He was a tireless advocate for me and my kids; his legal expertise was most welcome during my very involved case. My ex is a clear narcissist, and Geoff showed endless patience in dealing with his many red herrings (and he helped me stay calm as well). Geoff handled my high-conflict case with ease and helped us reach settlement right before trial, saving me a lot of money. I appreciate everything Geoff did for me, but what I appreciate the most was his honesty and integrity – while he represented me aggressively he was never unfair to the other side; he was always up front about what he believed the right path was, and he never pushed me to take any steps I wasn't comfortable in taking. Geoff’s goal was never just to get even and never pushed for legal actions that weren't warranted to create drama or raise the price tag. Most importantly, Geoff was always honest about what the chances were before taking any legal actions, and he did his best to save money whenever possible. On top of that, Geoff was always cheerful and friendly when I needed to talk to him! I knew he cared about what happened to my family. While it is always my hope that no one ever needs Geoff’s service, I would (and do) recommend Geoff to anyone who needs an excellent family law attorney.

When you are fighting for the loved ones in your life, you need a formidable ally. I have used multiple other attorneys and interviewed many others, and none of them come close to Geoff. Not only is he a smart attorney, a skilled strategist, and aggressive in the court room, but he is also an amazing person. He cares about his clients. You are not just "another case" for him. You are an important person and the outcome of your case matters to him personally, something you will not find often. I have a very long road ahead in my battle, and knowing that I have Geoff there to fight for me gives me incredible peace of mind.

Geoffrey is a smart, compassionate and dedicated lawyer. He is approachable, understanding, and trustworthy. He works to develop the best solutions possible and definitely looks at the long term benefit of the client. He was easy to work with and ensures high quality service. His staff is professional, kind and efficient. Geoffrey got the job done and had my best interests in mind whenever things got tough. In the end I prevailed and was able to resolve my divorce without spending unnecessary money and time. Geoffrey always worked to settle my case reasonably but used his clever courtroom skills whenever necessary. You really want him on your side and never want to be against him. Highly recommended!

Getting divorced was a painful and difficult experience. I was lucky to have Geoff and his team to navigate through the process. Geoffrey Platnick has a fantastic team of people who work with him, and he led the charge during my divorce settlement. Geoff fought for my custodial rights, my share of the assets and kept me well informed as the case progressed. I highly recommend Geoff if you are looking for an experienced, creative and thoughtful divorce lawyer.

I've had the pleasure of working with Geoff on numerous cases over the past 12 years. He has always been a dedicated problem solver. His knowledge and experience, coupled with his incredible work ethic, have brought cases to a positive resolution for his clients.

Geoffrey Platnick recently handled my custody case. I was lucky to have him on my side. His knowledge of the law and of my case, attention to detail, preparedness, hard work and presence in the courtroom easily brought me the outcome I needed. I am impressed by his excellent professionalism and ethical standards he constantly displays. His work put him in a category well above the lawyers I had hired before and well beyond the ones working on behalf of the the other side. I highly recommend him.

Geoff is a pro's pro. His knowledge of family law is second to none. In addition, his ability to provide timely and accurate communication and updates is unmatched. If considering any family law endeavor, I would highly recommend Geoffrey Platnick.

I highly recommend Geoff. He and his all-star team assisted me through a difficult and contentious divorce and child custody case. In Court, Geoff's knowledge and personal relationships really assisted in the positive outcome of my case. Geoff was very efficient with his involvement throughout the case to keep costs reasonable and was helpful in directing me to gather documents and information for effective pleadings and strong strategies in Court. Geoff and his team really went to bat for me, and were prepared and effective in Court. I am very grateful for his services.

Geoff Platnick as one of the finest Family Law attorneys that I have worked with. I admire all aspects of his approach to a case. Geoff is thorough in every aspect of his case preparation. He ensures that his client is ready to be deposed and to face cross examination, and he discusses his questioning of others with his client and experts. Geoff knows how to disagree without being disagreeable and is ready to take on any sort of opposition. He is a go to guy on high profile cases or any case.

Geoff is one of the best family law attorneys in the area. He is extremely knowledgeable of the law and has great insight into the many facets of family law. At the same time, he manages the stress and emotional side of these types of legal issues with ease. I have sought his counsel a number of times and would not turn to anyone else to assist me.

Geoff has seen plenty of situations and how they play out. Geoff has an expert understanding of the process. Geoff does a great job of communication and letting you know what’s going on by including you in his plans and actions. At the end of the day, every one of our decisions was client inclusive. He can be very aggressive in his strategy, while with the same breath, he can be pragmatic, asking you how you are doing.
