Mr. Plumlee recently represented myself in court on a protective order case. He definitely demonstrated his compassion and dedication while working with me on this case. Mr. Plumlee went above an beyond and stayed in court with me longer than expected until we reached the most desirable outcome for myself. I will be using Mr. Plumlee in the future and without hesitation would recommend him to anyone seeking legal representation.

Seeing Eric Plumlee in action in the Court Room is a site to be seen! I hired Eric on Monday May 24,2021 and met with him on Tuesday May 25th at 10:00am regarding a child custody matter. I left his office and headed back to my office and grabbed some lunch on the way. By the time I arrived at my office I had received an e-mail containing the request for motion of an emergency hearing that had been hand delivered to the court. Eric got the hearing scheduled for the following Tuesday June 1st, 2021 at 3:00. Again seeing Eric in action in the Court Room is truly as site to be seen. He was prepared, he had previous case law in hand including Constitutional rights and presented it in very Proffesional way. He is a very knowledgeable, compassionate, aggressive when needed but with tact and class! He won my case and I had my daughter back in her home the next day! I cannot say enough in this review to truly do justice the Eric Plumlee’s abilities! If you to win hire him!

I reached out to Mr. Plumlee twice for my legal needs and both times I was well pleased with the outcome. I would not hesitate to contact Mr. Plumlee for assistance in the future or recommend his law firm. From start to finish, nothing less than professionalism. Mr. Plumlee took time to discuss my issues and concerns. He explained legal matters in a way I could easily understand. I felt confident having Mr. Plumlee represent me in court.

I have hired C. Eric Plumlee for numerous issues as he has earned my trust. Nice quaint office, he works well for me needs. I really appreciate that he keeps a Bible in the reception area. I've never seen any other lawyer do that and it meshed with my faith and values. We have a good relationship and I recommend his practice.

Excellent research, well prepared, good value for money. I can't say enough about this man. We went to court on a contested adoption and did not even have to speak. He made what was a very complicated issue worry free yet still treated us with dignity and respect. Now we have a little boy living in our home who shares our last name and is no longer in danger.

He could explain things to me in terms I understood, and I have relatively no legalese understanding. He took the time to tell me what to expect and how, under my financial constraints, I could get everything accomplished that needed to be done. People in his office were just as understanding as he. A totally comforting experience to feel my interests were being protected.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions
