I am a individual with very high standards and always looking for the best in everything .When I decided to start the divorce process. I interviewed many lawyers. I decided to hire him. Because, I did not get the feeling that I am only another client to him. He listened to me and my expectation during this process, like no other lawyer have. But what I found even more fascinating was, the level of compassion he had. If you are going through this process you know, you are sad, angry, tearful, emotional, and at times unreasonable. He was supportive through every single step of the way. MY children are my world I asked him to get my kids and he got me the best custody deal ever. I can owe him for the rest of my life . Bottom line, If you are going through this nasty process, then you need a lawyer who is very knowledgeable, firm, very good in what he does and more importantly, someone who sees you as a person and actually wants to help you , rather than just see you as another r client to generate money to pay bills. He is your man. I have recommended him to many friends and every body has said the same thing about him

Many times I have consulted with Geoff on family matters and each time I received sound advice and direction I could use. Geoff's depth of law knowledge in the family space is quite impressive. Each conversation led to many possibilities with Geoff narrowing down the decision I had to make based on my specific situation. A truly caring person with an exceptional work energy that makes me wonder how he gets any sleep. Geoff, in my opinion, is an excellent family law attorney!

Handled my divorce. Retained my house and have my son almost full time, without alimony or child support. He slammed my X wife and her lame lawyer. Pricey but worth it. You get what you pay for.

Geoff helped me win a 4 year divorce that involved disputed legal and physical custoday. It was an complex case that needed an attorney who was diligent, pro-active, and aggressive.

I interviewed several top lawyers for my difficult divorce. Geoff came highly recommended from multiple sources, and I realized why soon after he took my case. Geoff exhibited expert knowledge, had impeccable courtroom presence and took excellent care of me throughout my divorce process. In addition, he truly cares about his clients and works diligently to ensure they receive a great outcome, which I certainly did. I could not have asked for better representation.

Mr. Platnick is the attorney/counselor I was indeed blessed to have contending for my child's best interest recently. He is consistently attentive, empathetic, experienced, detailed, conciliatory, sympathetic, solicitous, shrewd, strategic, strength imparting. In a ludicrously over-populated profession, Geoff Platnick is a rare gentleman and a darn good attorney. His recognition to greater responsibility and certain success is assured; I am glad to add my honest endorsement to that process.

When I realized that my divorce was inevitable, I interviewed about 20 attorneys. In talking with them, many seemed angrier than I was as they told me how they would punish my ex and made promises that they had no way of delivering. When I interviewed Geoff, his approach was strikingly different. He started by focusing on where we were (the ex had been planning the divorce for months before I clued in so we were way behind and in a bad spot). Next, he asked me to make some tough choices and to be certain that those answers were what I really wanted. Once we were sure, he laid out an intelligent strategy, focusing on when to fight and when to compromise. At the end of the process, we didn’t get EVERYTHING, but he delivered on everything that I said mattered for my family and me. Over the course of my ex’s eight year campaign, which included the initial divorce, three protective orders, two custody modifications, and three appeals (all initiated by the ex), Geoff stayed focused on the best interests of my family even when I was too angry/frustrated/sad/exhausted to do so. His experience and thoughtful guidance have been invaluable through the most difficult times of my life and, as he pointed out in that first interview, things will (and DID) get much better once my family and I were safe.

My divorce was a long, difficult, contentious mess. Geoff guided me through the whole process, though, answering every question and tirelessly advocating for me. There were so many twists and turns, but Geoff knew how to handle every situation. His strategic thinking and compassion were the keys to the success of my case. But he was more than just my attorney. Somewhere along the way, Geoff became a friend. He was always genuinely concerned for me on a personal level and took the time, aside from discussing my case, to just listen and help me cope with everything. I couldn't have found a better person to help get me through the last two years.
